NYE in Big Bear

January 9, 2018

This post is coming a little late. Sure I had 3 weeks off from work but the holidays just fly by. And keep in mind that I had some serious lesson planning to do. Either way, we ended up in Big Bear for New Year’s Eve last week. Past years have been host to some intense ragers but this year was a little different. The plan was to play it cool on New Year’s Eve and snowboard the next day while everyone else is nursing a hangover. We ended up with a fairly empty mountain with some pretty good conditions. Manmade snow is still snow! Some highlights of the trip include seeing Ian, Charles, and Marianne, and having a house full of dogs. Biggest highlight of the trip was that snowboarding clicked for Caitlyn. She was cruising down the mountain with minimal time spent laying on the floor. I can’t wait to see how much better she gets this upcoming season.

The guy in the wolfskin is Angela’s brother Justin. He’s got a wicked sense of humor that’s a welcome addition to the crew. Until next time!

Ian and Melissa decided to go for a scenic hike on New Year’s Eve. I just love the light pouring in from the doorway in this shot.

Ian brought a pretty badass little crossbow to the cabin this year. Even the girls wanted to try it out.

We roll up to a thrift shop to look for N64 parts and once Justin saw this rug, he immediately put it on and started crawling on the ground. He said that most herd animals will not think twice about a single wolf in their midst and this is a great way to hunt.

Next, this random local dude walks up and starts chatting with Justin about tactical hunt skills or whatever men like that talk about. Look how excited he is to talk to Justin.
Caitlyn trying to crack Angela's back
We started talking about cracking people’s back and Caitlyn happens to be pretty good at it, so I volunteered her. Here you see Angela was not buying what Caitlyn was selling.

This kid was playing some shooting game in the arcade at the Bowling Alley. I couldn’t help but take his picture. Look at that concentration.

Cory’s B Day Extravaganza

October 8, 2017

My good friend Cory had a B Day Bash at his new place a while back. He had a taco guy, live DJ, newly built mini ramp and a ton of cold CL’s. All the homies made it out and it was really nice to spend time with a lot of good people I don’t […]

A Barber | Piece of the Past

November 4, 2017

It took me a while to finally find my barber shop. After years of searching and regretfully going to Supercuts a few times, I landed in a barber shop that has all the grit and charm that’s only seen in movies. It’s name is simply “A Barber”. The first time I went there, Jack cut […]

Unfortunately, I’m taking a month off from jiu jitsu. Between empty pocket syndrome and a lack of time, November is gonna be a month away from the mats. At class last night, I brought my camera (as I’ve been known to do) and decided to shoot the last two rolls of the class. As it […]
