Today we had free from obligation until the evening and took a hike with big Dave and budo to blue lake. It was about 6 miles round trip and the trail was a few steps above bear creek but not too difficult. We drove the tacoma to the top of bridal veil falls and started the hike from there. Despite our late start and tellurides tendency to have afternoon thunder storms we only encountered some light sprinkles. The trail is an old road that miners used to use and was uneven with lots of rocks. The lake was at over. 1200 feet in elevation and was freezing- but of course this did not deter chaos and budo from swimming and fetching tennis balls. Tennis ball karma was on our side today and we managed to not loose any of them- two weeks ago we lost all three in under an hour.
We could use some good karma as our refrigerator has been having issues. Its a 2005 and is stainless steel but for a while was posting temps from 50 to 90 degrees- not so good if you like cold juice and solid butter! This is why renting rocks- we don't have to pay to fix it! A small dose of security in an unsettled world. Dave figured out this weekend that it was not the electronics but that the little switch wasn't making the connection and did not know when to have the fan blow cold air in. A small bit of duct tape fixed the issue and our fridge is now 36 degrees. The warm fridge retarded the use of the new kitchen aid mixer and the pursuit of anadama bread- a favourite from our sugarloaf days and the best sandwiches ever.
Photographs to be posted soon of this and of recent events including Daves August ski expedition, the new kitchen aid mixer and enough chaos shots to keep you all up to date on everyones favourite golden boy!
