The Boys Hit Big Bear

February 17, 2019

It’s so simple. In your 20’s, you’re indestructible. In your 30’s, you’re not.

For President’s weekend, some of the boys headed up to Cory’s cabin for a quick trip up the mountain. With 2 of the 3 roads into Big Bear closed and the wettest winter we’ve seen in decades, the city was eerily empty for a Friday of a holiday weekend.

Besides the near white out conditions at the top, it was a beautiful day to be outside.

On our way out, Cory wanted to try to back lip this rail. He landed it third try but this video was the best.

After nearly a full day of our version of ripping, we retired back to the cabin for some nighttime festivities. Funny though, our night began atypical of the usual cabin hijinks. We played Switch and drank about 2 beers each. Then we played a round of our favorite board game, Masterpiece. Ian won by a slim margin and coined the phrase, “Big smiles, big numbers.”

The daytime exertion weighed heavy on our bodies. We needed to rally.

We decided that going into town was going to be too much. It was already snowing and Kallen’s was just down the street. It was the move.

Hundred bucks at the bar and 10 terribly sung karaoke songs later, we found ourselves in the middle of a snowball fight in the street. We ended the night by drinking a bunch of water and crashing out to the hum of the heater.

I think this was the beginning of when Zaq decided that he wanted to wrestle a bit after the bar. The Full Nelson wasn’t a bad choice.
While we were about to head out, Charles was sneak attacking everybody with snowballs.
You can see it where the truck tire is in the photo. I love the expression on his face.
Cory needed to stop at the bank on the way home to wire some money, Ian and I stood around on Bear Valley Blvd. in Apple Valley admiring how abysmal it must be to live there.

We headed home the next morning and ended up back at my place to play more Switch. What a life.

Cory and Angela

December 23, 2017

A few weeks ago I took Carter over to meet Cory’s new dog Rocco for the first time. Back when Cory still had Schwoops, Carter was the annoying puppy who didn’t know when to quit. Fast forward to today and Rocco has taken that spot pushing Carter into the role of the grumpy older dog. […]

Handyman Dan

Buying a house is a commitment. Everyone knows that. But what does it really mean? It means always trying to save a buck everywhere you spend. It means discovering new problems everywhere you look. It means trips to Home Depot. It means another trip to Home Depot to return the thing you just bought to […]
