spring break

My computer is still MIA and it appears it needs a new hard drive which will be its third in 3 years. I think it needs some kind of immunosuppressants so the next hard drive won't be corrupted (again).

Meanwhile, I'm using Josh's computer to do my usual computerly things, like check hockey story lines etc and look at ravelry. Important stuff. :)

We had a nice spring break and it was just nice to get away from it all if it only was for a few days. The weather didn't cooperate in remembering that it is spring and instead gave us winter conditions with lots of snow and chilly temperatures which is good for the mountain but for us, shorter days snowboarding.

It snowed every day when we arrived and stopped when we left. Friday was an off day for us and look how much snow accumulated on our truck. Hector spent an hour digging the car out so that was his activity for the day.

It was nice to come back home to SoCal and pack all the snow clothes away although Mammoth is open until Memorial Day weekend so we still have some time to think about it. :)

But there are other things going on right now and that is NHL playoff hockey. For the 3rd year in a row, the LA Kings are in the playoffs and they're looking to get past the 1st round. We are pitted against the #1 seed in the West Canucks and tonight will be game 4.

Kat and I went to game 3 and it was thrilling. We won 1-0 and that was awesome. Hector and I watched the first games at Mammoth and there was lots of cheering going on. the Kings need one more win to head to the next round. :)

I took this picture during warm-ups and there were lots of Canucks fans hoping for a win. I remember a lot more Canucks fans at the playoffs a couple of years ago, but this year there were more LA fans. That's encouraging to see. GO KINGS GO!!
