sometimes life seems a little boring.



so what do you do?



you make baklava!!!

In North Van, once upon a time, I once bought baklava from a woman who had once made it for Saddam Hussein.



I reckon that makes me an expert.

cherry top

the cherry tops challenge is a ride down in Nelson that Ryan and I chose to submit ourselves to. Well, he chose to and then mentioned it to me. I rather chose between doing it and enduring the ridicule until my dying day if I didn't.



Here's Ryan at the top of the loooong climb...after dragging his fully spent and cramping sorry ass up he decided to swig soy sauce straight out of the bottle. "It's good for salt replenishment. I read it on the internet."

Ya, I read a lot of things on the internet too...anyway.

The dream tired team. Ready for the longest, steepest, hardest downhill ride I've ever seen...

I have a year to come up with an excuse for next time.

my new way to post...

I pinned my lack of posting to laziness and the fact that it takes some effort to log into blogger, upload pics, write, preview, etc... So I made myself a little tool...preset fields to slam text into, picture uploads that will re-size and upload (correctly) and put it all together and send it to iloveoil with one button click. It ain't pretty, but it's easy.
