River:30....

Its time. This time we did a nice little trip on the upper Chama river, aka, Big Mama Chama. Supposed to be a scenic class II with a burly class IV near the end, and a hike out. We failed to see the IV, but had a great time searching for it. We all agreed this would be one of the best easy overnighters with plenty of campsites and lee bank shelves, scenery and canyon action. The only class IV we found was right at the begining: river-wide barbed wire fence near the gravel pit.

Zomg!! x 2....

Top 9....

So far 2009 has sucked. I decided to alter my jaded opinion of the matter and see how funny these dumb happenings can be. You decide, or make your own additions:

9. Selling the 4Runner, some asshat offers me $750 (posted for $3600)

8. Upon modifying the kegerator for a stout with 40+ psi, I open the faucet for the first time, soaking my entire frontal crotch area.

7. I decide to sell the "Beaver", sad day

6. AutoCAD classes (2-4) get canceled due to lack of enrollment. Unfortunately no one can register for session 2 till we pass 1, which were still in when we get the news that its canceled. Pissed off.

5. Miss an appointment at CSU because the truck breaks a stabilizer bar and death wobbles all over the road upon meeting railroad tracks. Try and fix it, and fubar the steering on accident. Leave Nebraska 3 days late.

4. Find out I didnt get my dream job with the BLM because a retired asthmatic overweight vet whos never been on the river got the job with 10 preference point while I have a perfect resume and 0 points.

3. All six containers of milk I have bought since January have expired before I could use any of it.

2. My first day of rafting for the season: 40 degrees and snowing/raining, windy....

1. Apply for an extension to get my tax refund.

The Happening....

Taxes, ski movies, dirt bike movies, brewing beer, all kinds of GPS and GIS hacking, I still got this damned runny nose, landscaping, furniturescaping, tiling, and listening to music (MGMT, Pinback) really loud the whole time. Thats whats happening. As well, applying to grad school, prepping for the river season, and sucking down massive quantities of coffee, then falling asleep.

As you can see Ive developed a new technique for vertical tiling....posterboard. Hopefully it stays in place just long enough for me to move out....


And my birthday present, which I cant open til my official birthday, sad. I am now no longer the worlds only cartographer/mapper sans GPS. I have already documented and downloaded everything I need to hack the shit out of it, stoked!

NOT Warblegarble....
