My Job

So I know its been a long time since I have updated this thing but work is crazyness right now. Average 87.5 hours a week aka 12.5 hrs a day seven days a week. It is just about 3/4 of the way done and then its vacation time. The only reason I'm puting this on here is when some friends were visiting they asked what I do: The team that I work with coordinates and executes jobs like these. My forte is all the Structure Work. So from start to finish I estimate, order materials, track, schedule, engineer when needed" coordinate capital projects.

MAK'N MILITIA 3030


The dun lauguage...
Dont expect that to make much sense just some ol hip hop beats i used to listen to and they have recently found their way back on the head phones...

I havent been on this thing in a grip but i felt it was time to give a little update and get some thoughts out on paper/keyboard...whats this world coming to.

Things that are fresh:
Bought a 82 Univega Super Sport 12 speed about a month ago, brought it down to bare bones and metal. Stripped the paint, murdered it out black like whoa. Kitted it out with new black housing and breaks, etc.. got a militiary brushed alumiun box on the back in case I wanna rock with a sixer of some road soda.

I also sold my Yetta & recently purchased a older, not so white wizard aka 87 Toyota 4x4 V6 with all the essentials to roll tough and bump local music from the Avalon which was well worth the 1200 dollas.

Ive been planning a few trips since winter in my mind is just a round the corner. Ideal situations would put me in AK with my friends, including a helicopter, a camera, knobb creek, mountians in the fore ground and my deck. I will be 25 this year and its been something that i have told my self for a few years now. Before your 25 and you start going down hill, Valdez, AK Heli Trip.

Another trip in the making is a tropical vacation away from stress, bills & cell phones with total relaxation and meditation planned.

Built a work bench in my shop and have been purchasing tools like there going out of style. Custom reclining adarondeck chairs are on the top of my to do list. Material list is locked and loaded i just need to hit the trigger and get some time.

Crabbing season opened up so its on with early morning french press/ knobb creek and sea food dinners on the beach.
I am going River Water Rafting/ Camping Aug 13-17. The Roz & I are pretty hyped on it, its been a while since we have gotten away together and enjoyed some nature...

Pics and updates will be closer together, sorry for the long update but its mostly all there.

Music: Deltron 3030 & Magwai
I miss my friends that are scattered all over the states now... much love

Catch Up


Bought a Stiga Ping Pong Table: AMAZING
Found My Pool Table, just need to pick it up in two weeks
Brother got his tonsils out: SUCKS
Brother went to Emergency Room Due to tonsils: SUCKS MORE
BBQ's all day
Copper River Salmon for Days
Nintendo NES (Gold Plated ZELDA)

Bought some Plane Tickets for the East Coast: September Trip
Work is really challenging and exciting, new position was offered to me and I took it. Didn't think something like this would present it self for a few more years but things seem to be working out for the better. Same Desk, Different Position, Different Colored Hard Hat, More pay... SICK SON!

Nothing else is new really, working on the place, neighbors are super cool, looking at other dogs but nothing really is jumping out at me.

OH FORGOT, I'm building a Mini Ramp that is on wheels /locks and I can disassemble it with ease and roll it into my garage or roll it out into my driveway. Pics will be coming soon when I can find the time, plans are all sketched out on a napkin. 16' Wide, 24' Long, & 4' high...

Our convention is coming up on the 26Th, which is a Thurs-Sun cause the Jonas Brothers are in town, Lame.. But should be good, getting a few new threads for the closet, nothing to hyphy but its worth dropping.

From A Far


So this is a airel shot of our new place. My computer at work wont let me get google earth but I guess thats more reason to head over and take a few photos.
Sorry for the lag in updates but work is been insane crazy. 74 Hours, 69 Hours, 65 Hours, Its been crazy the past few weeks with work, moving, life...

Anyways Im stoked to be moving into this place. I promise I will try and get some photos updated by the weeks end. With the details of the house.

I will say that it has plenty of room for a pool table, ping pong table & a beer fridge.

Seasons End


08/09 Season is officially over. Its sad to think that its going to be about 6 months without stepping onto a board...

It was a decent year with decent conditions. I had bout 22 days on the hill which isn't as much as I would like but its better than nothing. I had about 15 of those days with some fresh and one of my Top 3 All Time Days this year.

I remember it like it was yesterday, first chair on 6, back to back 24" days, new Lib setup, a few PBR's down w/Hiro on the head phones & no tracks but what I left behind.

At work, its crazy, I live here pretty much now, bank is getting fat which is nice, you would think I could afford illustrator on my work comp but no just paint brush (damn right that photoshoping looks amazing)

Looking at a house today, has a huge back yard which is the only reason I want to look at it, mini ramp here we come...hopefully if we like the place.

Reflect & Process


I've been getting mixed feelings from co workers and people I run into for this trip of prudence I'm working on...

Its not a big deal, but its something Ive been wanting to do and never can find the time, well I'm choosing now to do it in the busiest time of work, (For the next 8 weeks I will be working 6-7 days a week (60-72 Hrs a week) I'm doing it anyways...

I'm taking time to reflect, hit a little reset and continue down the road.

I'm also looking into buying some kayaks for this summer, I used to mess around when I was younger with em and the more summer comes it looks like it will be something fun for Roz & I to do.

INTRODUCING


DARTH VADER...

A new addition to the family and I think the name fits. Murdered out like whoa! I must say that I am impressed with everything this new whip has to offer. Subaru has sold another customer for life. Around town, amazing...roadtrips amazing and most important The Mountian. Beau-Mazing! Freakin teck yea guy. Super hyped on it, stoked to show the wonderful wife this coming Monday.
Only thing missing on the whip is my Thule rack which will be coming next year.

Tomorrow early morning service, football and then bon fire at the parents house. Should be a good weekend but its not the same with out my bestest little buddy, The Roz™.

Went bowling for the first time in 2 years probally, no wait even more. "since Dustin O got kicked out for PG talk in the bar on his 21st."...4+ maybe years. Its all coming back to me now, sounds like a Elton John song.

On to bigger and better things, bowling is the theme tonight, Big Lebowski is playing in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Snowing Four Tet


Beautiful Mornings... Loss of sleep but its snowing with spring forward.
5" plus on the ground and now the sun is out and shining. This weather is pretty unpredictable but ill take it while I still can. Winter is fading in the back of peoples minds but this morning it brought it right back.
--
I'm gonna miss winter.
---
I'm still hoping to get a few days on the hill before its all said and done though.

Things That Were:

Music I Cruise Too: Four tet, New Mogwai, Tristeza, Slightly Stupid is whats on the player this week. Check out Four tet

Film Is Truth: High Planes Drifter, Bootleg copy of The Wrestler, Rushmore were things playing the background as I progress in my knitting. I have a few patterns down now, no pics yet but socks and beanies will be dialed by next winter I promise you that.

The Roz™ & I will be looking at a house today in the Columbia District. 2 Bdrm, wood floors, built in the 1920's which means there is some character in those walls. Hopefully it works out and we will have a new place to call home soon.

"Crosby" on the tip

Life is Good™



Even though life throws you some curve balls, there is always something positive to focus on. Drowned out the bad with the good.

My truck got broken into on Friday night so Saturday morning on the way to service I was givin that wonderful surprise. Nothing to major was jacked which makes me even more skeptical of the whole situation. Previously (2 days prior) my bank calls and tells me they have cancelled my visa's due to the fact that some hacker jack ass stole my numbers and was using em. Makes me think my identity will be stolen.. Sketchy... Thankfully the crook wasn't to smart because he left my Nixon and my apple ipod in the truck. (Same Day) my dads 2500 mtn bike gets jacked out of the garage. WTF. Crooks need to be locked in castles for life.

In the Positive I left work cause I was sick yesterday but watched the most amazing movie. "The Doors" my brother spun me off on this and I must say it was just what I needed. Cant really explain it, kinda trippy in some parts but overall good. Baker is dumping again and freezing levels are droppin to 1000ft. This weekend will be amazing.

Learned how to knit last night with Roz, still working out the kinks but all good.

Gotta steeze this book, simple perspectives but inspirational non the less. HERE

Welcome Back


Allots happened in a week and it feels good to capture it once again. Taking a break from this blog was just what I needed. Instead of "feeling the need to post something every day" It will start being more what it was set out to be. Just glances of the way I see things in the northwest. Sometimes it may seem every day & in others there maybe be a gap or two in between posts.

Whats been going down:
Well last Thursday my friend Erica came into town for a few days and it was a very enjoyable trip. She got to know The Roz™ a little better, meet the new addition to the Krebsbach Fam, show her some hot spots in Bellingham. Overall very good. A good friend and a good experience. Went to the Nightlight a few nights, just re opened and it was pretty fun, 80's night was amazing, music was untouchable and some of the best Ive ever herd. Made some purchases and received some packages.

Mark It Dude:
1. New kicks:
a. Sperry Top Siders
b. Zurricks (haven't came in yet but I'm hyped, finally a pair of shoes that Ive been waiting for some time, and Ive found em)
2. I start knitting classes with Roz and Grandma Kamp this thurs night (grams is teaching). I will be learning to make my own beanies for next year as well as some other dope things. Stoked
3. BlueBerry Day at Mt. Baker-snow was fast and fun
4. Spring conditions are something of the past. Its been dumping again at baker.
a. 28 Degrees
b. SNOWING
c. 24 Inches of NEW
5. Music I recommend: Styrofoam, havent been able to take it off the playlist.

new news:



Today has been a overall good day. Caught up with a good friend on a 25:36 min phone call. Thank You every time minutes. Also my friend Erica will be joining us next Thurs for a short but sweet trip. Should be a good time, little snowboarding, tea, movies, etc. Roz & I are looking forward to having our friend come and stay for a bit.

Also I forgot that my sweet mother has a surgery tomorrow. :(
--
I know, horrible son. I have to work but Roz will be picking her up and she will be all cozy and comfy at our place for a few days. (Parents house is under construction=New hardwood floors)
---
So my mom isn't dieing, well we are all dieing in the sense but her surgery is non life threatening, which obviously I'm stoked about. Family is by far the most important thing. We will be taking care of my Momma after she has her nasal surgery.
Recovery is pretty quick but she has to sleep sitting up for a week (SUCK!)

Oh had a few drinks at Pad Thai tonight, Nate the bartender always hooks up the free bee's now and then. Tonight was one of those, it paired nicely with the sushi ensemble I had going as well.

Report: Baker snowing lightly and 20 degrees.

Wish I was on the hill today

Shredded



Not only is my neck killing me but Mondays always seem to tire me out at work, so much to do and catch up and get a jump start on the week. I think this is all related that we only work 4 days a week. 16 days a month & 208 days a year - 8 holidays paid - 12 Vacation days is 188 of 365 which is almost half of the year. Now that i think about it, ant that bad. Ill stop my complaining. I def need to by a pass next year so I can get some more days in. I'm rocking 12 er 13 right now i think, which isnt bad but it isn't great. I remember back in the day when I was skipping school and gettin 30 er 40+ a season. That was chill back en da dayz.

Nothin to exciting besides gettin bak to work. Studyin for meetings, R's gotta a talk and I gotta be on point.

24th LBS Finals

---
It was hard to get up and get going this morning but once the cold air hit my face and I had my coffee I was good to go.
Stopped off at the usual local spots to pick up a quick lunch for the mtn. It was such a beautiful ride up, the sky was glowing, It was absolutely beautiful.

The conditions were fast and fun. My level of riding was on point today, im still getting used to the new deck, some minor tweaks on the binding degress but nothin major..Sittin GOOFY:17/17 @ 24-1/4" wide.. I'm really happy with my board choice, maybe a little stiffer if anything. I Talked to my friends at Lib, see what we can do next year... There was a few clinics going on down at the lodge: Lib, Burton, Arbor, Gnu, pretty much everyone from Mervin Manufacturing and more, to many to name. Saw the new lines, talked to old friends, met new ones. All smiles all day. Roz was riding really really well today. Its so great to see her progress/adapt to a new style of riding, better all around.

Kicked back, had a few brews around one of the many fire pits and soaked it up.
I spaced and thought the salmon bake was today but it was actually yesterday so next year a I guess.
---
After we stopped off at the shop and then to North fork for a few more pints and some wood fire pizza. I swear the food there tastes so much better after you have earned your food from a long day riding. We road till last chair and I cant tell you how long its been since Ive done that. Getting back to the basics and refining what's fun in snowboarding to me is challenging but exciting at the same time. I will be finally picking up my transceiver this weekend for hiking the arm and getting some shoots, fresh pow and nice lines (4 day weekend) See photos for a Idea of "The Arm"
