We have been waterskiing every Wednesday night after work at Lucky Peak Reservoir. Tucker and Clancy and I grew up skiing in McCall on Payette Lake. We would get up early to ski before any other boats were on the lake & we would ski whenever we got the chance. They still have the same boat as when we were growing up. Waterskiing with great friends is still one of my most favorite things in life! Below is a link to a video of us skiing behind the Ski Nautique.
We ran the Sawtooth Relay this weekend and had a great time. The name of our team was “More Cowbell” and we were team #234
The Sawtooth Relay is a 62 mile run and is separated into twelve legs. Teams of six individuals run from Stanley, Idaho to Ketchum Idaho over the famed Galena Summit. The proceeds for the race are all donated to the PKD Foundation and are used for research in finding a cure for kidney disease.
Our team this year consisted of Trent & Shelly Koci, B and Tamara Clayton, and Karma and me. Each team is required to have one volunteer for the race and Tim Terry generously served as our volunteer.
Zoie came along with us too and Karma’s Mom Dorothy watched her while we ran the race.
We stayed in Ketchum on Friday night and then woke up around 1:30 in the morning. We picked up B and Tamara around 2:00am to drive to Stanley for a 4:00am start.
The race was a bit rainy this year, but we still had a blast!
We finished the race at around 1:00 in the afternoon with a total time of just over 9 hours.

A team of young architects and an engineer from France have developed a concept of modifying existing electrical towers to harvest wind power.

The idea is still in its infancy, but I love the fact that they are thinking of ways to produce sustainable power for our society while attempting to utilize existing infrastructure. The team won the 2009 “Next Generation” competition organized by Metropolis Magazine. More information can be found at the following link:
