Fast Trip

I ended up straining some muscles in my back last week. Pushups and crunches were canceled for a couple of days. The last day we were in Whistler I managed to do pushups on a beach at a small lake. Sorry no pictures. I am now on track again.
It was a good thing the drive out to Whistler BC was clear, not a cloud in the sky so we could enjoy the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. On the way back the wind had changed directions and it was so smoky from all the forest fires, we could not see any more than a couple hundred feet above us. Thus did not see much for mountains. The weather was hot and in the thirty’s while we were there. All in all it was a good but fast trip, mainly to haul a cargo trailer full of house stuff for our daughter Kim she is moving back to Edmonton for a while to go to school. Also it was a good excuse to have another good look at the beautiful mountains.
Keeping track the food I ate was not easy. I should say some of the junk I ate did not get recorded. I forgot! You know that bag of chezzies, licorice, rice chips. When I eat things here and there, what I eat tends to be forgotten than just eating three squares a day. But in the end 98% of what I eat has been recorded. I think it is not to bad.

Oh Darn

Last day of work before holidays. I get off my motorcycle one hand undoing my helmet other hand reaching in my pocket for my kickstand support so the kickstand will not sink into the ground during the day. I watch the kickstand disappear into the ground as my bike slams to the ground in the gravel parking lot. A buddy comes over to help me get it stood back up. I survey the damages, broken signal light, multiple gravel rash. Oh well another day.

Jade Buddha

Missed a couple of days of UBBT due to sickness but just about caught up now. Holiday and sick should not be used in the same sentence little own have to go through it. Missed the Jade Buddha that was on display by in the temple close to Westlock Alberta. Kristy, Dave and Kim went I guess it is spectacular. They spent more time there than they had originally decided so the whole experience was great. I was sad that I missed it.
One of the cool things the 4000 lbs Jade Buddha’s was carved from one half of the Jade rock that was found in northern British Columbia Canada. final resting place will be in Australia. The Jade Buddha only made three stops in Canada; it was so close on its world tour for Universal Peace.
Interesting Utube video on where the jade was found and it’s carving. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoLrvafwKUE
