the fifth

Hey guess where I am...............wow that's exactly right I'm in Lethbridge in a hotel room, you are amazing at guessing. It seems like I get the most done in the most random places. This weekend I tagged along with Phil and Holly to Joel Funk's wedding, and it was a gooder. They got so much style it's not even funny, well ok sometimes it's hilarious. We drove all night on Friday to get here in time for the bachelor party paintball. Paintball was really really sketchy cause it took place in old chicken barns out in the country at some company operated by teenagers, no I'm not joking it was sketch, and the goggles kept fogging and Phil managed to get hit in the neck twice. But he did call it on himself, poor guy shouldn't have said he didn't want to get hit in the neck. Joel had a good time though which was awesome cause at Phils bachelor party he froze his butt watching us bike. Today was the wedding itself which we almost missed cause we love value village so much. Then there was a break for a few hours till the reception. It was a good wedding with a ton of awesome people to make it even more good. Right now I should probably be sleeping but it's not often I feel like updating and the internet is free so meh I figured I'd go for it.
What have I been up to lately you may ask, well monday to friday I awake at 6am to go to work for 7 till 330 after which I relax for a bit call people, run errands, eat and then head to the park till 1030 11. On Saturdays I sleep in and then go to the park for the rest of the day which also goes for Sunday after church and lunch. A few weeks ago I tried to buy a house, which was looking very possible until my parents decided they wouldn't co-sign. This week I was sick and even missed a day at the park as well as two days of work. I had terrible aches and a fever and was just weak in general. Way back I went to the ranch for a staff reunion which was good. Other then that I haven't really left Winkler, my life is pretty much work and the bikepark, no girlfriend, no other hobbies, no car of my own, no time, no cellphone, no time for non bmx friends. So no promises that this updating business will be regular, probably more pics soon though, I'll try to keep those rolling. Oh yeah that's cause I now have Photoshop and I was able to hack my ipod so I've been spending a bit of time sorting out the 3000 songs I have on this computer. The bed behind me is now screaming at me and I should probably go and quiet it down before it wakes up Phil and Holly.
night,
eric

Colin is a young man from Miami Manitoba who possesses a large amount of natural talent on a little kids bike

Chad is another young talent who comes from Winkler Manitoba that's an x-up folks

this is most of the Winkler crew minus Phil and Jeremy who's in the next pic. I have to have different crew nights cause otherwise it's pretty crowded. A list of crews: Winkler, Morden, Mountain Biker, Winnipeg one, and Winnipeg two (they don't get along) all those different groups translates into me being at the park at least 6 days a week. Good times

Jeremy is not afraid kids, look out

These pics were taken one really cold day while I was driving to the ranch. Those huge propellers are part of a wind energy farm. I know this is really random stuff but I gotta start somewhere, I almost forgot how to do this blog thing.
