We moved! From start to finish, it took us less than 15 minutes.  :)

Granted, we did’nt move far, but it is one of the beautys of living on a boat.  We moved from E dock, down to J dock. Total distance about 300 yards. But unlike moving from one apartment/house to another, there was no boxing of stuff. No unboxing of stuff. It was a simple matter of starting up the engine, unplugging the shorepower cord and untieing 4 lines. Then moving the boat down to J dock, slip #49. Oh and grabbing all the tools and stuff out of the dock box, piling it in the dinghy and moving that down to the new dock. So maybe it took 45 minutes, but who is counting.

I took another quick video of Tawn Snowboarding yesterday. And while I still have not been able to get the brightness settings right. I wanted to post it because Tawn wipes out at the end of it and I caught it on film. :)

This was taken on a run called The Bomber Cliffs at Mission Ridge:

This next picture showes the reason why I think she wiped out:

Tawn at Stevens Pass

Stupid things me and Tawn do to make each other laugh

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. Me and Tawn both have a pretty healthy, albeit sophmoric senses of humor. One of the running gags we have is to buy odd things we see at stores that we know would crack the other one up. Then bring it home and act like it’s a special gift for the other. No flowers or cards on this boat.

It all started a couple years ago with this product. I saw it on some website and just had to buy it. I have absolutly no use for it, but damn, it cracks us up:

Bag Seasoner

Over the years there have been a number of products. A small jar of Vegimite (I think we still have that nasty little thing somewhere), stinky cheeses, insanely hot bottles of hot sauce with funny ass names, and a 2 gallon jug of yellow mustard, just to name a few.

But then a couple months ago Tawn brings this home:

CB's Nuts

I’m tellin ya, there is nothing funnier than offering your friends a big handfull of nuts, when they have your name on it….Or is that just me?

Then just the other night she brings this home. What the hell could this actually be? We are both afraid to open it. No way it could be edible. It sounds British for some reason. Not sure why:

Spotted What??

WTF??? Look at those nasty little black spots? I can’t quite figure this thing out. On the plus side, it is microwavable.

Oh and P.S. Never eat frozen peas at Scotty and Angie’s. :)

Snowboarding at Stevens Pass on the last day of 2007 (CB)

If watching blurry, poor quality video about people snowboarding is something you enjoy. Then today is your lucky day.

I know last time I posted a video, I said that the next one would be of better quality. But the sun, wind and glare off the snow all conspired against me. I even considered not posting the videos, but what the hell. At least my mom will like them. :)

This one is of Tawn, it was take on the last day of 2007. The weather was nice, a little to nice. The sun was so bright the glare made the video turn out weird looking. It actually looks like those old timey videos. I feel like Warren Miller should be make some smart ass remark as we ride past the camera:

And this one is of me. Same deal as the others, odd glare, but you can see what we did on the last day of 2007:

As I said, the quality is crap, I need to work on that.
