Hi John…

I am exhausted so this will be short.  The morning started off well.  I cleaned up from last night and put the house in order.  I went to start some computer work and I noticed that my outbox did not send out all of my messages.  After a few tries I called Martha.  She helped me get a full scan going so we could make sure all the updates were in.  She told me to go away for a while because this would take some time.

I took the dogs for a sunny walk with Jen, Julie and Wilbur.  It was just what we needed.  I returned back to home and still waited while I did various tasks in the house until it was finally complete.  Martha continued to help me with all that needed to be done.  All in all about 3:00 the computer was ready to be used.  I am not sure I would have been able to say that without Martha’s help.  Thank you Martha.

After school Gabe & Mitch waxed their boards and then they headed to the mountain.  I met up with Sue…then Patti and for a bit Jen B.  It was a treat to be in that sunny weather however once the sun dipped so did the temperatures.  Here are a few pictures of Gabe.  I have a ton more of Gabe and others but they will just have to wait.   

Check out the Gordidi goggles…

Awards ceremony was nicely handled again by Zach the man.  Dylan got first in Gabe’s age group and Ryan second.  Luke got first in the 18+ group.  Ellis & John got 3rd in their categories.  Tim Farrell and Talent also did their generous giving.

The last award was for the Sam Cohn award.  This year Douglas Fay got it due to his perseverance, good attitude and great smile.  I’m sure snowboarders don’t want to be called cute but he really is.  It was good to hear Sam’s name spoken at Night Riders again.

Good night John.  I will have no trouble falling asleep tonight.  Sleep well.  love…d
