Sunny got skunked!

Are good friends Kaz and Tiff were watching Sunny while we were in Costa Rica. On saturday night his dog Lilly and Sunny got skunked while on there bedtime bathroom break. He dropped her off yesterday morning and after he bathed her in some internet remedies she is still pretty stinky (she slept in her crate last night, not in our bedroom).

I can't imagine how bad it must have been to have 2 dogs right after the incident. Anyway, just wanted to say Thanks to Kaz and Tiff and sorry you had to deal with that. I've heard it can take up to 3 or 4 months for the smell to where off, I sure hope not!

Susan and I are headed to see Lindsey Buckingham on wed. night. It should be a good show.

Costa Rica!

Susan and I just got back from a great trip to Costa Rica, we decided to go with my parents which turned out to be very fun. The first night we spent in San Jose, then next morning we picked up the car and then got my parents at the airport and headed up into the mountains. We stayed at a farm the next night at 8,000 feet in little cabins. The farm is know for a rare birs called a Quetsal which we got to see on a guided hike in the morning. The next day we headed down to the little beach town of Dominical on the Pacific coast. We rented a house for the week about 700 feet above the beach in the jungle. The wildlife and birdwatching was great right from the house, monkeys, toucans, and parrots would come by. We had a great view of the ocean and sunsets from the patio with our own priviate pool. The town itself was great, a little surfer town with dirt streets and open air resteraunts and bars. We did a lots of excursions throughout the week that left us tired every night, jungle hikes, beach combing, canopy tours with zip lines, fishing, and I even tried my hand at surfing. We have a bunch more pics that I will post in an album soon.

Snowboarding/Biking same weekend

Gotta love Utah! I went backcountry snowboarding with Marty and Dan on saturday then mountain biking with Kaz and Jimmy on Sunday. Our snowboard/ski tour took us into Days Fork, 3 hour hike up to the ridgeline between Cardiff Fork and Days. The Heliskiiers were out with the helicopoters dropping them off on top making us jealous, luckily they stayed away from the line were were eyeing. We had a good run then watched the final four, a very good day. Sunday, I helped Dan move then met up with Kaz, Jimmy and Wade and went biking. We met to ride the Shoreline trail and rode up dry creek, Jimmy and I split from the group and ride Boblsled, a real fun trail with high banked burmed turns down a gulley. Sometimes the trail gets really rutted but it is awesome shape so we were glad we did it.
