Organizing a Race

2009-04-04T06:54:00.000-07:00

Well we've been busting ass to make this thing happen. The Tumbleweed express that is. The idea of organizing a race is rather fun especially when it begins to manifest itself. I have a new found respect for organizers and what they have to deal with. Building a road is easy, marketing the event is easy. It's all the stupid little important stuff like insurance, waiviers and what not that make it difficult.

Everyone in the Colorado Rally Crew has been working hard to make this event work and I've been rather impressed with how well we've all worked together. When there was a small job to do, someone was there to take it. It's too bad there was a bunch of hype around a large blizzard that never really happened. God damn media always needs a story. So "good Job" to everyone who helped with the event. And thank you every one who tried to race this weekend and of course all the volunteers who were willing to show. We had a total of 17 entries which is impressive for a small american rally. Better luck next time.

FUCK eBay!

2009-02-04T16:08:00.003-08:00

Ebay is a pile of shit. I have several gripes I would like to express to you.

1. eBay stores are only allowed to give Possitive feedback. We are no longer allowed to give negative feedback. This is bullshit because I've had several customers not send money. I denied sales from the shop because I've waited for money. It's terrible. So I'm suppose to just eat it. This is my life and I'm jsut suppose to eat it.

2. Copy Right enfringments are automated. I have several authorized accounts with wholesalers and manufacturers. I've been docked points to violating the ebay terms. This shows up as a negative mark on my profile. I've since talked with the wholesalers and they've explained the automated system and have authorized me to sell their product on ebay. Well ebay will not remove the mark and they're almost impossible to contact in regards to the situation. Now I look like a dick on Ebay.

3. I'm only allowed to respond to a question once. Dumb!

Thats it. For now.

My Damn arm

2009-02-03T16:05:00.000-08:00

So My arm is still broken. I'm looking into mid-March before I can do anything. I went snowshoeing in steamboat yesterday for about 3 hours and it feels as if it's falling appart again. I'm getting really sick of not doing anything. I've been walking a lot and thinking of low impact ways to get excersize. The left side of my body is fat.

A tribute to my wife

2009-01-24T06:58:00.000-08:00

Hey all. I thought I through out there just how good I feel about my wife. Her name is Alissa for some of you who didn't know. She's really good to me. She takes care of me when I'm broken and is an awesome snowboarder. She has a great sense of humor and is rather "Hot Stuff".

I would like to honor her.

Testing My Blogger

2009-01-23T16:09:00.000-08:00

I am testing my blogger right now. I'm not much of a blog person nor do I ever read anyone elses blogs. I figure this would be a good tool for being away at races and describing the conditions.
