12月7日 Chris on FacebookI've been using Facebook so regularly that I haven't been posting anything here.
Jump on to check out what I'm up to and see recent photos: http://www.facebook.com/chrisgarty/ 1月12日 Cold, Fargo coldI might need an extra layer today since it's -24C (-37C with windchill). At least it's sunny... :) 8月29日 Dad and Shaz visit the Great PlainsYou can use this map to check out the spots that Dad and Shaz are visiting and to figure out the drive times between locations:
Dad and Shaz arrived safely in Fargo about 1pm on Friday. We met Jolene for lunch at a fun little place called the HoDo in Fargo's downtown. Then all four of us took the Jetski out to Detroit Lake (http://local.live.com/?v=2&sp=aN.rt06mf70crfw_Detroit%2520Lake%2520%2528popular%2529___) for some evening jetski and wakeboard action (only Jolene and I wakeboarded) and dinner at a little Mexican Pizza place called Zorbas (http://local.live.com/?v=2&sp=yp.YN460x8371978) on the lakeshore. A quick stop at Walmart folllowed the 45 minute drive back to Fargo (http://local.live.com/?v=2&sp=aN.rt4gtk6xy17k_My%2520apartment___).
We got going at about 8.50am on Saturday morning with all four of us in the little red PT Cruiser (http://www.chrysler.com/pt_cruiser/) and arrived for lunch at Jolene's Grandparent's (Willie and Loretta) ranch in Pierre around 2pm. After a big lunch, a tour of the ranch house, and much talking, Dad, Shaz, Jolene, Me, and Jolene's Mum (Carmen), Step-Dad (Rod) and little brother (Riley) headed to the Cultural Heritage center (a museum) in Pierre arriving at about 5pm. After about an hour there, we checked Dad and Shaz into a big and naughty room at the Comfort Inn (their room had a triangular (2x2x3m) 1 metre deep whirlpool 2 metres from the bed complete with mirrored wall on two sides), and then headed to the Rodeo. At the Rodeo we saw bull riding, team roping (http://rodeo.about.com/od/teamroping/), break-away roping (http://www.hsearsrodeophotos.com/rodeo_gallery.cfm?PhotoID=53328), calf roping (http://www.hsearsrodeophotos.com/rodeo_gallery.cfm?PhotoID=53332), goat tying (http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?eventorder?photo=05X8006U060003&start=0&album=0&adjust=-1) and so much more :). After a quick snack back at Jolene's Mum's house (where Jolene and I stayed) it was bedtime for us and back to the whirlpool for Dad and Shaz.
Sunday started with Cowboy Church for Shaz, Rod and Carmen at 8am. After that they picked up Dad and came to get the rest of us from Carmen's house. We rode to breakfast in a mini-van, containing Carmen, Rod, Dad, and I, and Brady's $300 big old car, containing Brady, Riley, Jolene, and Shaz. The car's windows don't work, so Shaz got some natural 15 degree air conditioning on the 20 minute gravel road drive. Breakfast at the Outpost was an inexpensive mix of orange juice, coffee, omlette's, hashbrowns, toast, and pancakes with extra tomato sauce for Brady. Shaz made me laugh by pulling out her trip notebook and proceeding to jot down trip notes while everyone around her talked ;)... in fairness she didn't miss much of the conversation since she seems to be a world class multi-tasker. After breakfast we headed to the State Capitol building (http://www.city-data.com/picfiles/pic1812.php) which Dad loved, and the back to the Rodeo which Sharon loved... even though she didn't manage to find a rhinestone belt she wanted to buy. Jolene and I rode back to Fargo with Jolene's brother and girlfriend and Dad and Shaz headed to a foggy evening lighting ceremony at Mt Rushmore.
Dad and Shaz should now be on their way to Cody, Wyoming after seeing Mt Rushmore (http://local.live.com/?v=2&sp=aN.r9d17s6cbmqc_Mt.%2520Rushmore%252c%2520South%2520Dakota___) in the clear daylight and Bear Country (http://www.bearcountryusa.com/) yesterday and spending the night in Deadwood, SD. They've probably just seen Devil's Tower (http://www.nps.gov/deto/) and they should be just about to go over through the BigHorn mountains where Brokeback Mountain was filmed. Tomorrow they'll be heading on to Yellowstone National Park.
I would have had photos, but Shaz borrowed my camera so I'll have to put them up shortly. 3月11日 Lots more photos addedI've added about 6 months worth of photos. About 13 of us are off to Big Sky Resort for three days of skiing and snowboarding next week... it's going to be fantastic!
And then I can look forward to running the Fargo marathon and getting out on my new Jetski! :) 8月22日 Passport AdventuresMy passport has now been to two more countries than I have courtesy of UPS.
Check out this wacky journey :)
7月28日 WakeboardingYou've probably noticed that I've been wakeboarding a lot lately. I added some photos from last weekend's efforts. Unfortunately all the wakeboarding was captured as video. I might pull some frames out of a video, but I'll just make sure I get a couple more action photos this weekend. We were out on Corey's boat on Saturday (this is when all the pictures are from) and Craig's and Alan's boat on Sunday. I really have been blessed to find such a great group of friends in Fargo :) 7月25日 Virtual Earth - My weekend trip to New Orleans in 2001Just trying out this Virtual Earth Scratch Pad...
My weekend trip to New Orleans in 2001... Went to: Microsoft Virtual EarthMicrosoft just released a new service called Virtual Earth. Now I can show my family on the other side of the world what Fargo looks like.
It has this cool permalink system so I can pinpoint things and send them links like: My apartment, my work (old photo so it is just a field), and the exact shore on Pelican Lake where I was wakeboarding this weekend. Very cool... 7月18日 New PhotosI've added some new photos and I'll add some more (Utah trip) shortly...
Check them out via the 'Photos' tab :) 12月22日 'Fargo Cold'I'm getting a new perspective on cold. I remember wearing Southwell school uniform shorts when I was in form 1/grade 7/year 7 on a 2 degree (celcius) day. My knees were deep red and purple from being exposed, the breath out of my mouth created fog, and my hands were permanently in my pockets. That was 'Hamilton cold'. I remember wearing a business shirt and jacket to work last year on a 4 degree day. My hands were cold, and I started shivering while waiting to cross the road at the traffic lights. That was 'Melbourne cold'. Today I got ready for work, started the car with the automatic starter on my keyring, drove the car from my apartment's underground parking to the exposed Microsoft parking lot, set the automatic starter by pumping the hand brake twice, put on my gloves and hat, zipped up my jacket, walked briskly into the office, and realised that my ears were sore after just 60 seconds in the exposed air. That isn't even 'Fargo cold', but 23 degrees celcius BELOW ZERO is 'Fargo cold enough' for me :). The expected high temperature for today? -18 |
