Yeti's Glamour shots

Downhill Dummy Race

The Super Sled 9000 was used again this time for the downhill dummy race at Manning. Our dummy was named HELL-ga! She was very fast and had some great style flying down the course heading for the jump.

Here is a group shot minu Richard..

Here is an attempt at a full group shot... unfortunately Richard couldn't quite get in the picture properly before the timer snapped the shot haha.

The jump...

HELL-ga as she is launching off the jump!

HELL-ga in mid launch, looking like she is going in for a grab.

HELL-ga making a picture perfect landing and still sledding away.

All the dummies were launched at the same time and HELL-ga blew by them, you can really tell how much faster she went as she had already landed and was flying away when the other dummies were finally going off the jump!

A close up of HELL-ga after the race and getting her first place ribbon.. her head and neck were a little damaged, but all was well after some duct tape.

Finally a good group shot!

Fun In Manning

We spent last weekend with my brother and sister in law in Manning Park at my families cabin again. We brought out the newly refurbished Super Sled 9000. The Super Sled 9000 worked well until Richard took it down a very steep slope with a jump in it, he broke several peices on it. Then Marc took it down the same slope and broke some more parts on it, Richard is fixing it up again this week!

The Super Sled 9000 back in action - Gayle giving Ricard a good push before the hill.

Marc giving Richard a push, Richard thought it was a fun idea to sled down the hill backwards!

Fun with Cats

Well I know I keep using the cats as my models, but the cats are so cute how can I resist.

Yeti was so sleepy, I don't think he even noticed the hat on him!

Rossignol enjoyed wearing the party hat from my Dad's 50th Birthday party.

Furry Friends

My Brother and Sister in-laws doggie, Jasper. He was being so cute, posing for pictures for me with his new duck toy.

Our furry cat Yeti, enjoying being outside with the plants on a rare sunny day here on the Wet Coast.

Strange Happenings

The other day Richard and I were sitting watching TV and we could smell a very fragrant flowery smell and we couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Eventually we figured out that our Corn Cane plant had flowered. I had no idea that these plants flowered at all, nor did it tell me on the tag. I have had this plant for over three years and it has flourished, but I certainly did not figure on flowers. During the day I hardly notice the smell, as soon as it is dark the flowers are so fragrant we have to open a window as it is so strong!

Here is a shot of our plant.

The stalk of flowers on the plant.

Super Sled 9000

This weekend we spent in Manning Park at my family cabin doing some sledding and snowboarding with my sister and brother in law. Richard and my brother in law created the Super Sled 9000 out of an old snowboard and a rocking chair. The sled worked really well, we towed it behind the vehicle and it would ride up the snowbanks, we likely had it up to about 50 to 60 km/hr. We did try taking it down the sledding hill at the ski hill but we got kicked out by security!

It's amazing what you can make with some garbage.
