So, I just got interested into making a motorized bicycle. We had a nice frame at home, and I decided to paint it. Here are pics: 

hi all,
i haven't been on my blog in ages!
wow... my birthday passed on wednesday and i am now officially 15
cool, but I don't look much different on the outside but inside i feel SO much more mature
after much consideration on my parent's part, they bought me a loaded pintail longboard
what nice people! (pics will be up soon)
also we were out at the local big 5 yesterday looking for a helmet to complete the "longboard look" when we came across this super deal. A BRAND NEW snowboard my size for only 70 bucks. We bought it and upon arriving at home, I searched the interwebs for reviews on it. (it is a silence glider 145) ouch not good, reports of delaminating wood, fading decals, bad edges and a short life-span. WE concluded that this board was not worthy to be a normal snowboard and decided that we would "split it". again pics of the process will soon be up


thanks,

binouz

5 days of power bars for 5 people in 2 bear cans

Start of the backpacking trip. Hiking up to Bishop Pass (11k+ ft). Full load.

The carrying gang. Notice how they are still smiling at that point (especially 2nd from R which is me)

Rocks, rocks, patches of snow, rare vegetation and rocks.

Some things you have to see to believe it. Those guys were hiking the 13 miles across the pass and down to LeConte canyon in one day with Kayaks on their back to reach the best class V of California!



Pure moment of meditation. (minus the bugs)

It keeps getting better. (Dusy Basin: behind Bishop Pass, still at 11k+ ft). We woke up with the tents covered with ice.

Okay. Maybe they prefer dreaming about their future climbs.

These beams were probably brought in by heli.

Most spectacular slide we had ever seen. Must be pretty sketchy to ski this in the winter.


Tough boyz on the day of our "tough hike" (down to LeConte canyon and back)

looking South into LeConte canyon

Hiking back up to Dusy Basin camp.

We found out why we met some pro photographers on the way.

Sunset at Dusy Basin

Moon rise

Complete change of colors the next morning

This is backpacking turned 5 stars. Marble countertop and benches.

That's what happens when Binouz' eye is behind the lens

More of Binouz' eye. One of his rock sculptures.

Same. Different angle.

Time to immortalize the gang in the traditional group shot

Even more traditional group shot

Was so windy (and cold) we had to raise a stonewall

Almost back to the trailhead















Our new million $ mansion

a bit twisted by the wind




















Part 2 of the trip. "Canoe camping". Starts with a fully loaded vessel (minus photographer in the front seat)











Our camp. Instantly nicknamed "Luxury Suite"










Dardanelles at sunset.
