  • Canon

    My Canon Powershot is choking and caughing right now. Searching the world wide web has shown that it is a common problem with this model, that right after 18 months, like clockwork, it begins showing a “memory card error”. This is what freaked me out on the enchantments trip, where I thought I lost everything.…

  • Watch the tour here on Wednesday!

    I posted an ad on CL asking my question about where to watch the tour and somebody told me about this: Cyclefest Outdoor Cinema, A Cascade Bicycle Club Event. Awesome!

  • Alpe d’Huez tomorrow!

    Alpe d’Huez I really want to watch this tomorrow morning, early, but I don’t have OLN. There must be a coffee shop or bar that would open by 5 am so I can watch this stage with Phil Ligget and Paul Sherwin, not the Ear Wig/Eye Roll pair that usually clowns it up.

I put the spinaker sheet through the forestay and the jib on one rounding. I didn’t connect the main to the boom properly. That resulted…

  • Ballard food review

    We ate at La Carta de Oaxaca tonight with our British Friends, Anne and Kevin and Mom and Dad. Kevin and I had the black mole, which was very savory and not too sweet. The pork is the way to go, I think, extreemly tender. Oh, and the margaritas went down very easily. Afterwards we…

  • Kids these days

    A video I shot in the Enchantments of some baby goats getting frisky. Must be the low oxygen up there.

  • Enchantments

    IMG_5700 Originally uploaded by ekraay. I got back to Seattle on Thursday night from our 4 day tour of the Enchantments. I posted a bunch of photos on Flickr. I could have spent easily two more days up there.
