And We Did Research






Well this last week Brigham was in town so what did we do? Went to the lake and the pool and had a productive week.  Brig's purpose for the trip was to switch cars for a few weeks while he is doing his clinical down in AZ, to save money on gas.  I will have his tundra, and will be fully benefiting from its ability to tow a boat and go camping, should be a good time.  Off the top of my head i can't think of any great stories from the week, but regardless it was a solid week here in Provo.

A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT




So friday night we headed east to the colorado boarder to go whitewater rafting.  So of course i had to make some new purchases to prepare me for this adventure. So i went to costco and bought myself a sleeping bag and its sick!!!! Then i was at smith's, a grocery store right, and found the sweetest folding camping chair!!! it has a shade thing that comes up from the back LEGIT!!!! We arrived friday night about 11 most the crew was already there. we set up camp and went to sleep. The next moring had a egg and bacon bagle with melted pepper jack cheese, so good. we drove "shuttle" took all the cars to the pull out spot then headed back and dropped in. we floated about an hour before hitting our first rapid "little Delores" which our rookie crew did ok on.  Next was "funnel" and we hit it perfect totally crushed the waves. next was "skull" a class 4 rapid so it was game time. being in the front for this one instead of sitting up me and my buddy taylor, who was the leader of the left side, had to lay down on the edge so we could put more weight on the nose.  we went throught "skull" like champions i was completely under water for a while but still attached to the boat it was so awsome. after the rapids we floated with all the boats together and ate lunch and talked about the victory over the river. another highlight was seeing an bald eagle in a tree. I wish i had more pictures i ordered a waterproof camera and paid for speedy delivery but it didn't come in time so i didn't get to take great actions, heat of the moment, shots. but it will be here tomorrow and we are having and underwater photoshoot, but not like the one in highschool (if you don't know, you'll never know) well off to bed.

BOOM! BOOM! POW! ENOUGH!


All right! I admit it! I like the Black Eyed Peas. I like it when I'm out dancing and I hear the catchy hooks of Will I. Am. I mean how can we forget songs such as Let's Get Retarded, Pump It, and My Humps. And I was big fan of Boom Boom Pow, but that's now the sound it makes as the radio stations beat us over the head with this song. I turned to three different radio stations today in LA and all three were playing this song. Looks like I'm either going to have to stop listening to the radio or end up hating this song. Why do they gotta buzz kill it. Oh well . . . I'm sure there are more important things to worry about. HA!
