yesterday night, while I was busy minding my own business (believe I was playing video games), a truly massive block of ice and snow slid off of the roof into a basement window well and broke a window with an extremely loud bang. So I go into the bathroom to see that the window, while still in place, was well cracked in at least a dozen places. Then I went outside to check it out from that perspective and holy hell this is a giant piece of ice and snow. It was probably the size of a small car.

To make a long story short, a few plans were hatched about what to do with the chunk of ice, but in the end the only solution was to take shovels and picks and break it up into smaller chunks that we could move…otherwise the broken window was bound to give way and the glacier would melt/pile in through the window and cause even more mayhem.

it wasnt as bad as it sounds though, it was almost fun

So I was invited to go skiing today and I said no thanks.  What was I thinking?  This is usually the time of year when I get a lot of skiing in, but I lost my motivation somehow.  That could all change tomorrow if the snow report looks good.  It rained down in Salt Lake, but the foothills got an inch or two.  Maybe its decent up at Snowbird, which is pretty much the only resort still open.  Its kind of a bummer because there is a lot of snow left.

I stopped by the new shop (which is still empty for now) this morning to try to get some ideas about layout.  The place is huge and I think it will be a lot busier than we are imagining.   It is a great location and the space is just cool.  As The Flight of the Concords would sing, “Conditions are perfect.”  Hopefully all of you that read this blog (besides Rich and Chris) can visit the new shop in about a month when it is up and running.

We are currently looking for someone to handle our video/photo editing to be uploaded to our website, so if you know someone, point them our way.

Oh yeah, go Jazz.  Rich and Chris get all excited because our local team made the playoffs again.  It is about time they won the whole thing, but Rich seems to think the Lakers are the top pick.  We’ll see.  As for me, I guess I am rooting for the Jazz, because they are local and seem to be the underdogs pretty frequently.

That is all for today.

ok so ski season is sort of over (still a bunch of snow left in Utah, and a couple resorts still going strong), but who cares. it is nba playoff time and our Utah Jazz are in there with a puncher’s chance. The NBA’s Western Conference is incredibly strong, and regardless of who comes out of it there is about a month of really excellent basketball to be played. I don’t honestly believe that the Jazz will win the championship, but I do believe that they can. And not just “they can” to mean “it is possible,” I mean, they actually could do it, which makes it all the more exciting.

the jazz are in houston tonight for game 2. if i only I could fast forward myself out of this office to 7:30 when the game starts.
