Its great to be home for a bit, but it was even better enjoying the fine snow and cool skiing around Bozeman and Yellowstone.  We all had a blast, and wished for a few more days to enjoy the area.  Yellowstone in the winter is really great, and Bozeman is defiantly a very comfortable town!


You can't believe its not butter...what a rad place.

Its been said before:  There is a direct correlation between people and rules...more people yield less freedoms.  If you have been to Yosemite, you know the managers of the area have a great challenge on their hands when they try to preserve the area and manage the hoards of people that flock to the Park.

Please educate yourself a bit, and if you feel the urge, offer up your 2 cents during the comment period.   Access Fund Link

Well its live.  The site is up in all its glory.  All dressed up and nowhere to go.  I'm sure there are typos, and some people will find the colors to be odd, but it looks nice on the monitor I use.  It should be a little easier to find things and learn about our courses, and that was the goal...plus the blog, slide shows, and videos will be coming soon.  Please let me know what you think.  Send me an email, post here or on the Sylvan Rocks Facebook Fan Page.  Still lots of photos to add and links to things like the FB page link, but its time for a little climbing break.

Its been a long time since I had to learn that much in such a short time.  All these computer skills that I  never expected to know.  I have to thank Scary Larry Schaffer for all his help and instruction.  Everyone knows the old proverb about feeding a man for a day vs teaching a man to fish so he can feed his family every day....well, Larry taught me how to fish.

Besides climbing and caving, Larry does some rad things with computers...just check out the Black Hills Institute Website out, watch the video, I'm sure Larry had a lot to do with producing it???  It is an awesome place, and Larry really helps put it and the town of Hill City on the Map.
 
Thanks again Larry.    

Its early in the morning or very late at night depending on how you think about it.  Ticking off the punch list to getting this site live.  Its looking better every day.  Still not perfect, but I'm getting more confident with moving things around and switching colors so it flows a little better on the screen.  If it looks totally bad on your screen, please let me know.  The colors all match on my screen, but I can see how it might look like junk, as it gets sent around the world at warp speed.  Everyone has things calibrated a little different.

Leaving on Saturday for Montana, then Mexico after that.  I'm so ready for some fun in the sun!!  I'll be sure to send pictures and keep up on the Facebook Fan page as I can.

So we harvest 3 deer this year, and Matt got one too. More importantly he helped me drag one in from over the hill and through the woods out on the prairie, but thats another really fun story!! So with all this red meat, we decided to take advantage of the sausage attachment on our grinder.

Now, having a "sausage making party" does bring up a few sophomoric jokes, but the end result is good good eats. I still have a lot to learn about this hunting game, but thats the fun of it for sure. Besides, when there is 6" of snow every few days, the high temp is 6, and there is only 10 hours of daylight, the climbing isn't all that fun. So "When in Rome..." I think Matt is becoming a true South Dakotin...he is talking a lot about buying a bow for next season.

Until then, we'll be enjoying a freezer full of goodness.

So its been cold here...yeah, really cold, and as it has spread across the nation, I'm sure you all understand. The weather has not slowed down the fun though. I been getting out a lot more to play outside then I ever have time to enjoy in the summer when there is climbers coming and bookwork to keep up with.

I can always tell when things are going good by the PILE of gear that coats my office floor. Esp. in the winter when everything you use has to dry out before its next use or before storage. The toys tend to sprawl. Now this could be in part to my lazyness, but I try not to admit such things. I did pick up the rifle from the January hunt fest, but the ice climbing, skiing etc. type things never seem to get put away before going out the door again. Things could be worse.... you should see the pile in the garage.

This website building stuff is a real challenge.   No only does it all take place inside an office behind a computer (something I'm not very good at even when its negative 10 outside), but the learning curve is very steep for those of us that are more then a little computer challenged.  I continue to try though.

This is my first blog post on this website - this online business to be exact!

Feel free to grab a cup of tea and a cookie, put your feet up and take a look around. You'll find heaps of great content and information about my business, and there's plenty of goodies.

I hope you enjoy and feel free to let me know what you think!
