Scenic shot at Rattlesnake rapid

Who wouldn't want to wake up in camp and see this sight.

Come one come all to float Deso!!!!!!!

It has been ten days since the last post….

What has happened in our lives? Nothing much. I took a test in my math class and did very poorly on it. I didn’t study as hard as I should have. But I did better then I expected. I think that if I do really well on the final that I can pull a B. It is not the grade that I want but considering how my emotions have been for the last month, I will take it.
Last week was not a good week for me.

Since I started my hypothyroid pill, I have to be careful about soy intake because it can bloke the drug absorption in my blood. I need to consume soy four hours or more after I take my pill. I have multivitamins that contain soy, normally I take them in the morning but since I started my pill I haven’t been taking them. I take them at night now. WOW!!! I feel really good. I find it amazing what having the right vitamins in your body can make you feel.

Work is going well. We are going to do the flushing event again on First Dam. Thanks to the snow pack and the current weather it should prove to be a good one. Theral and I got a river permit for Desolation Canyon. The put in date is May 24th. Everyone is invited to come. It is over Memorial Day weekend, and we will probably do a six day trip. This means you only need to take 3 days off from work to come. The flows should be really high (15,000 to 25,000 cfs) which means big whitewater on the Green. We have two boats people. It is going to be fun. Remember Desolation Canyon is in the Desert. The temps should be in the 80’s in the day time.

Theral is trying to get his paper written for his classes. Instead of having finals he has lots of papers due. School is going well for him. As always we are looking for a job in the Utah area for him to apply for. There are a lot of reasons for this.

So there is the update. I should have some more fun stuff to post later.

P.S. We get to talk in church on Sunday about service. It could be a disaster. I do have some cool pic of Deso to post. The post with just pictures is going to be legendary.

• So I haven’t posted in a while. Here is the 411. We are doing well. I have a test this week in my math class that I’m kind of stressing about but come Friday at 2:00 pm I should start feeling much better.
  
  Theral is doing swell with school as well. Theral had a bad 12 hour period that start on Friday and went into Saturday. On Friday night as we were pulling into the garage, Theral forgot that my bike was on top of the car (I was at Borders doing book shopping and Theral rode on the bike to the store, it was a teacher sale). Crack! The bike hit the garage. The bike luckily is ok. Theral pride took a hit. Granted I am to blame for half of it happening. Let’s just say that I had a very unique way of distracting him that made both of us want to roll down the windows and get out of the car as quick as possible. If I had been driving, I probably would have done it as well. The rack is fine but the bike carrier is toast; we have a few more dents and a little bit more paint missing from the car. I told Theral that he is making my car a hoop’dy car. A canoe fell off from the rack last fall and did some damage. Theral is thinking “Uh-Oh, Better get Maaco! ” I’m like what ever.
  
  I really want a new Jetta Wagon diesel TDI that are coming to the market later this year.

  It is a wagon that will get great gas mileage and looks way cool.
  
  Back to Theral’s bad 12 hours. So Saturday on his second ski run of the day he broke his ski. Yes you read correctly he broke a ski. Luckily they are still under warranty so he will get a new pair. (I was like thank goodness, thanks big guy upstairs.)
  
  My knee has been bothering me. It always starts after I teach a few wedge turns. So I have come to the conclusion that I love to ski, just don’t make me do wedge turns.
  
  So to those of you who read the blog………. I have no idea of how many people do……….. I’m glad that you are reading my efforts. Thanks
