chill week

so it's that time of year again. taking time to take it easy.
the last month i've took up cross country skiing which ive really gotten into. it's amazing how easy it is to set up and try. thrift stores are littered with used skis, the problem though is finding the right sized boots. i finally did by going to a nearby village called armstrong where time doesn't tick as fast.
and since you're basicly moving at a fast walking pace the need for top of the line new gear (as the safety of those things might be useful for downhill/alpine) is not needed. all it really takes is to do a bit of internerd research, find some used boots/skis/poles and any public park, backcountry road, or deserted farm oh and some decent snow, and you got the ingredients for a pretty awesome day.PhotobucketPhotobucket

the most recent project though is actually my last project in reverse.

the electric bicycle.
it's about 70% done. i'll put pics up soon when it's complete.

take it easy this week, + enjoy your holiday dinner and company.
