November 30, 2005

I got this email from Jay today:

Big news since my last update. Lisa and I are engaged!
We are both really excited as are our family’s. Other then that, the weather
has changed to almost winter weather. The mountain has been hit by some
snow, but we are going to need a bit more if we want to be on the slopes
anytime soon. The good news is that the lower elevation creeks and rivers
on the west slope of the Sierra came up a bit, and with more rain on the
way they may be good later in the week. The south Yuba is just what I
need! I am not getting my hopes up to soon though. The Truckee river has
turned cold. It isn’t very far up river that there is ice on the water
and that pretty much makes it time for the gloves. Macy and I are still
paddling a bunch together after he gets of work, and after all of the
abuse that I have given him he finally broke down and asked me how he
can get an All Star. It almost brought a tear to my eye. It was like watching
a little puppy open his eyes for the first time. Priceless! Seriously
though, we have been having lots of low water fun. I went out the other
day and shot video of a move that Macy taught me called the Woo – Woo.

I also got video of and Orbit to Woo-Woo, and an Orbit
to Tricky Woo. These are the kinds of moves that Macy and I use while
playing HORSE, and the goal is to get them dialed in so that we can do
them in lots of different holes. So, until the next update, you can look
for me on the river.
