Gettin Wacky in Wenatchee

The last few days have been a blur.  Gearing up for a two month trip to Africa, I have been faced with the sacrifice of missing the heart of the 2011/12 snow season, and one that is shaping up to be pretty awesome.  It's one I gladly make though, and getting to have days like this, running around with Bart Patitucci, Robbie Hutton and Matt Penny at ungodly hours of the morning, dodging cops, sweet talking office employees and shredding in the backyard with Max the dog, let me have the best of both.

Here's to doing stuff, and being busy. It means you have a life,

Secret Tube Land

Somewhere on the remote frozen tundra outside of a Russian gulag, three inmates make due in a frigid icy desert, using only what scraps of materials they could scrounge, in order to cling to life.  Hopefully the dog has moved on once dinner time rolls around...

Good times

The Day Job

I have been having a blast this summer, and the past five summers for that matter, working at the Wenatchee Forestry Sciences Lab as a field tech.  It has taken me to Idaho, Montana and some of the most beautiful places I know in Washington.  The studies we have been on this year mainly are on the Entiat River, a small river feeding into the Columbia north of Wenatchee. 

Hurray for science!

Getting to our sites is always an adventure.

Wenatchee Applesox

In a much needed dose of summer sun and America's greatest game, the Wenatchee Applesox program has been awesome enough to have me shoot games for them all summer.  Taking on the Corvalis Knights in the second of a three-game series, the Applesox were looking for revenge against the Knights, who snapped their 14-game win streak the previous night.  Pitcher Jackson Goulder had a bit of a rough start, coming out in the first inning, but the Applesox held off the Knight's offense as number 32 righty Scott Simon came in.  With 10+ hits and a few very key walks, the Applesox tied it and then won it 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth, with the winning run coming in oddly as a walk-off walk.
