Turkey Day and Trail Maintenance

This is a photo from my dinner table. Honest...
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! With the holiday over, it's now time to enjoy the Christmas season as we wind down the last few weeks of 2011! Racing starts again with the Beacon Double Down Hoe Down, only 4 months away! 
On an impulse last week, we picked up an Xbox Kinect. It's really fun.
Ruth cooked up a big Thanksgiving feast for us and few friends. We ate a great meal, played some Xbox Kinect and watched the first Christmas movie of the season. It was fun having people over for Thanksgiving, and hopefully we can do it again next year. Rylie was going crazy all day with all of the smells of everything cooking. She calmed down a little after we gave her the turkey neck. I don't think I've ever seen her that happy!
This doesn't have anything to do with this update, but the soda machine blocking the exit can't be up to fire code.  South Everett...
I managed to sneak away for a little bit on Thanksgiving day and head over to the Duthie MTB park to do a little trail maintenance. Living in the Pacific Northwest means we get rain. The last week we've had a lot of it, so the trails were in need of some love. When building out here, drainage is a major issue. A lot of the berms need to have drains built into them. Overtime the drains clog up and need to be cleaned out. I grabbed a polaski and headed out. 
Clogged drain before.
Clean and dry (er) drain after!
Not much of an update, but hey, it's the off season. Ruth and I are going to get a Christmas tree and start getting ready for Christmas!
