2005 In Memorandum

2005 was an interesting year in many ways for me, I'll know why and what for most of that statement anyways. But a lot of lessons and general knowledge learned, new friends met. I feel it was a transition year in many ways, I feel prepared in many areas and ready for bigger and different things. We'll see what is to come. Some good statements I've heard from friends over the past days:
- 80% of life is emotion;
- what's challenging you?;
- point that $#!^ down hill and go!;
- even if you think you don't have style, you do, your own.

Here are the propeller head stats of some of my logs, check 'em out if you dare:

2005 Hiking

Went on some good hikes in 2005, although that's always subjective. The hikes were fun and in good company, don't think I was really challenged on any, but maybe I want to work harder on that in the future...hmmm. Here's the ones I blogged:

Sep 03, 2005 - Labor Day, Tahoe
Oct 02, 2005 - Auburn hike
Nov 21, 2005 - Tahoe hike
Nov 23, 2005 - Tahoe hike
Dec 28, 2005 - Ice House Rd

2005 Running

Running, a love/hate relationship. I run to get in shape to do other sports that require me to run. I run to stay in shape. Running pounds on my body, but for some reason it feels good after I'm done. While I'm doing it I can listen to my breathing and think about how much farther I need to go, how much harder I need to push, how much faster I can get some where, what my heart rate is...and then also about normal type things, like what's going on in my life, what I need to do, what I plan on eating, etc, etc.

Here are some links:

Feb 08, 2005 - Davis Stampede, 10 k
Apr 30, 2005 - Wildflower Tri, 13.1 mi
Oct 15, 2005 - Relay, 19.7 mi, additional links: Sep 09
Nov 19, 2005 - Davis Turkey Trot, 10 k

Skiing 2004-2005 season

2004-05 ski season was the season of the pass. As if I didn't keep track of enough numbers and too much misc information, the season pass would log every time I went up the chair lift and tell me how many vertical feet I'd skiied...

Nov 11, 2004 - sierra - 9,154' - 4 trips up grandview, 2 up westbowl (so a nice warm-up day...)

Dec 05, 2004 - nstar - 30,875' - 15 runs on the backside
Dec 09, 2004 - nstar - 33,348' - 17 bkside

Back in Sac-ra-tomatoe

Firing up for a hike in the rain can be a feat sometimes. Although, since I've been up from the sunny high desert, all I've seen is rain, rain, and more rain... Patrice and I went for a quick jaunt in the rain up in the hills. Since there wasn't much snow around, only rain, it just made for a wet walk along the flowing stream. Some good views though, for sure. Here's a link to a map of the general area.

what day is it?

The project I'm working on here in Pearblossom is going well, the contractor is on top of things for the moment, relations are good, character abounds on the job site, and I'm gaining some good experience. The project involves cleaning 313 joints inside a 9' dia PCCP (precast concrete pipe) and filling the joints with new material. It doesn't sound that hard, but there actually is a lot that goes into the effort. The joints have lead found in them which requires containment and special handling procedures. There is a huge vacuum set up at one end of the pipe line which is constantly working to bring in fresh air and clean the airborne containaments from the demolition in the pipe. Everytime someone enters the pipe all the confined space safety steps are followed. Also, everyone in the pipe must wear a harness, a respairator and a 'space suit' to keep the dirty products off their clothes and in the pipe. Anyway take a look at some pictures from the job:

Check out some of the views in the area of the project.

A morning sunrise

On thursday morning when the sun came up we discovered snow on the mountians behind the project.

here's me in the office trailer and in the pipe

this is ron, the other inspector on the job, he's showing me the ropes and making the job intersting, enjoyable and a learning experience, you couldn't ask for a better person to work with and learn from.

where did my voice go?!?

So I started losing my voice on friday morning. And I don't mean just kind of started losing my voice, more like it took a holiday and went to the other side of the planet. I seriously couldn't say anything audible over a decible. I was trying to get directions to where I needed to go in san diego for tim and leona's wedding from peter, but he couldn't hear a word I was saying. eventually he got the idea and started asking me questions and I would push a button once for 'yes' and twice for 'no'. I didn't feel too bad physically, I still had energy (for the most part) but I just couldn't talk to save my life.
It was actually a pretty humbling experience. A lot of people wouldn't kind of baby talk me (I don't know if they thought I was slow in the head, but that always gets pretty annoying pretty quick, and communication is was just easier for me if I didn't try too much). It really took a lot of energy to get any thoughts across. I was actually kind of enjoying the experience in a way. I was completely vunerable in a sense. Other times I would just give up completely and not even try at all. I think we all probably need to take the time and be forced to listen sometimes. I realized I probably talk more than I thought I did. And it was something I defintely took for granted. But the time you spend with people is important and communication is extremely important as well!!!!

Peter, me and tyler heading over for the wedding.
