Smith Scope Pro Goggles & Oakley Fasten Pants

Out with the old and in with the new!  My little bro updated his goggles to the Smith Scope Pro goggle and personally I felt they could of put in more effort on the design of it because it looks just like any other regular goggle.  My peeve is that with its simplistic look, it is hard to tell by a glance which is the cheap pair of Smith versus the quality pair of Smith.  I spotted an awesome deal from steepforcheap.com for a pair of Oakley Fasten pants and Seattle was kind enough to buy it for me!  What a loyal dog huh?  The pants had a pretty high breathability and waterproofing rating so that's always a plus.  Plus it is well padded and insulated so it is certainly worth the buck. Oakley does make some pretty stylish pants that isn't too much like Nomis. My peeve is the length of the pants is a bit long but then again it is for women and I wear youth sizes so go figure.    This also reminds me, I have not posted the Big Bear trip!

So yesterday my brothers and I went to my brother's friend's house to catch his koi fishes from his pond to leave it at my uncle's pond since he finally has to vacant the property by the end of this week.  The water pump wasn't working because he didn't know how to turn it back on.  They had to cut the power to the house last time since my brother somehow broke the jacuzzi tub in the master room so they had to cut the power to turn it off.  The pond was at a lower altitude so we couldn't siphon the water out so we had to scoop one bucket of dirty pond water at a time.  It was quite a workout!  I didn't know his koi fishes were that huge but when I saw them monsters, they were freaking huge!  They're so big that he feeds them dog food.  The monster ones couldn't even fit in the fishing net but we managed to catch all 8 of them and transported them to my uncle's and got our grub on at my uncle's. 

It's a monster!

In other news, March birthday madness galore is here!  Birthday after birthday after birthday!  Last week we took my dad out for his birthday to Medieval Times.  We were the red team and our knight freaking reminded us all of Blue and it was cool because our knight saved the day and won the tournament.  Then the next day we went out for my aunt's birthday at Pechanga Casino and apparently my dad and her finally found out that after all these years the siblings finally found out that they had the same birthday.  I could post pictures and videos but I'm just too lazy to so you're just going to have to check it on Facebook, which reminds me I still need to upload the boarding videos from Seattle.  My other cousin had a birthday bash for 3 of their siblings but none of us went to it.  Now this week is my oldest brother's birthday and my cousin's birthday.  I am not sure what we are going to do for him yet but my older brother is going to take him to a shooting range when he gets back.  My cousin is throwing a hotel party in Newport.  Then comes Mammoth for my little sister's birthday and niece too but their family isn't going anymore so that means...party!

Back From Seattle

It is just good to be back in Cali!  Sure, it didn't rain while I was in Seattle which was actually too bad because that means no fresh snow to board on so that kind of sucked.  Although the snow wasn't too bad but still could of been better because it was pretty compact and the trails were horrible especially at Crystal Mountain mainly because to be able to have a decent length run, you must take multiple lifts.  Stevens Pass was better but at the same time the trails were also pretty short.  I boarded 3 out of the 5 days that I was in Seattle so I'm fine with that!  I did get one day to myself to drive around and explore Seattle or more like the state of Washington.  Car and I took the ferry for the first time so that was kind of interesting although the roads were just horrible in Washington.  The streets were all so disorganized and curved every few yards and there was a lack of sidewalks as well.  Everything just felt like such a small town feeling although Seattle is suppose to be a tech mecca for the young but all I saw were old retirement folks and ghetto kids.  I just think they need to knock everything down and restructure everything because all the twist and turns is just a waste of space.  Anyways, I can't believe how many times I went boarding this season because for the past 2 years my average has been 4 times a season but so far I have gone boarding 5 times already and 2 more times to go!
