Another Wipe Out
Winter Park Video
Chippy!!!!
Over the last few days we have had a chipmunk come into our condo eating peanuts that we give him. Last year he came every morning but then we didn’t see him for the rest of the day and now he comes all the time so we took a video of him one day.
haha and now he is in here looking for food haha
Some Cool Pics From Winter Park Colorado
I took some pictures of a few things over the last week and I’m going to put them up for you to see.

On the first day, 2nd run, I wiped out and messed up my fork and we had to get a new one so I could continue biking. This is what $1,600 will get you, but we only had to pay $1,000 :)

I wiped out yesterday and broke my crank so we had to replace it too. We went to Totally Wired Bike Shop and they were busy so we bought the part and used their tools and replace it ourselves.

We have to locked up our bikes in a ski locker room because we don't have anywhere else to put them.
Highlights Of The Day
Winter Park
For over a week now we’ve been in Winter Park, Colorado to do some biking. It has rained everyday since we’ve been here. But that’s ok. It keeps the trails from getting dusty. But it is kind of annoying when the chairlift closes because of lightning. That has happened quite a few times. The first few days of biking were really hard because of the altitude. The base is 10,700′ and it’s even higher at the top of the mountain. But I think I’m used to it already.
Here is one of the videos I made so far. More to come.
Our Home In Abilene – 7825 Saddle Creek Rd.
Our home in Abilene Texas was larger than average home in Abilene but was one of the smallest homes in the exclusive subdivision of Saddle Creek Estates. The air conditioned ranch style house included 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a den/office, dining room, large living room with 10 foot ceilings, large kitchen, kitchen nook/dining area, laundry room and a pantry/storage room. In addition to a huge 3 car garage the property included a 20 X 30 insulated and air conditioned workshop that had a 15 X 30 overhang/carport. The acre and a half yard was fenced, fully landscaped, had underground sprinklers and a huge drive that could park more than 6 vehicles. The boys plan for the huge fenced back yard was to build a dirt jump park but this was cut short by our move back to Canada.
The following pictures are quite good but don’t fully capture the essence of this home:
