hello again one and all
Well my travels are only a week and a bit away...the excitement is building inside, I can feel it. All the snowboarding songs seem to be playing on random on my iPod and iTunes. Think they're trying to say something?? There are some examples of the songs I mean down below. I'll be filling my iPod with every snowboarding song I can think of and a few self/friend made songs. Will have to figure out a way to post em eventually. May have to set up another Myspace account, anyway....
Been having second thoughts about taking my own boarding gear but I have to remind myself I'm trying to travel light and plus it's all paid for. My board is too short for powder anyway.
I kinda wish I was fitter but I'm sure I'll go all out when I'm there anyway. I'll be alot fitter on my return that's for sure, lol.

this is the place I'm staying at - Whistler Cascade Lodge. Lush!!


I get the feeling I'm going to be very drunk and running amok for most of my stay as well as making good use of the lodge's facilities, namely, the hot tub and heated pool. Noice!
I love my travel agent, she rocks!!

So just abit of shopping to do and wah-lah!! I'm done

Reminder: ask my bro for lift to the airport, lol

Checked out a few places yesterday who are prepared to do the WB ute up to my expectations, they all say 6 months to a year to do it but I'm still looking around. It was expected though so it wasn't much of a shock but did get valuable info on what I expect to pay and what I should do to prep it so they have less work to do. Who knows, I may even get in Street Machine magazine and take it to Summernats. It's kinda a dream of mine. We'll see how it all pans out.

Worked on the bike last night, still trying to get the braided lines fitted properly and am satisfied that I can work with what I have. Just have to make a couple of brackets to keep the lines from rubbing and in the right place. The bike's in need of a wash but can't wash it until I've fully fitted the lines as brake fluid absorbs water and it will stuff my system. No brakes = death, lol
Hopefully I get this sorted before I leave as I would dearly like to go for a ride

Some boarding songs:

Suicidal Tendancies - You can't bring me down


System of a Down - Toxicty (turn this up)


Tenacious D - Explosivo


Prodigy - Mind Fields


Metallica - Blackened


Note to self: will have to figure out a way to just have songs with no film clips.

Anyways..
talk more soon and remember - Keep Smiling
