Utah Football Game

Marcus and I attended our first University of Utah football game this Thursday night. Carl went along with us. We parked downtown at Energy Solutions Arena and rode the Trax train to the stadium. The train was crowded but it worked out well. The game was great. Utah beat TCU with a touchdown in the last 42 seconds, 13-10. The place was going nuts. I think Marcus really enjoyed it. Utah is now ranked 9th in the BCS. WVU just got back into the top 25 last week and they still have a chance to win the Big East and get a BCS bowl game. It would be neat if WVU played Utah. I might have to go to that one.

The mountains got slammed this week. Snowbird got 48" and opened yesterday! Brighton (my personal favorite) is opening next Wednesday. Another storm is supposed to hit the mountains Sunday and Monday. Sweet! I still need to get some equipment for the kids. Marcus needs new boots and bindings for his snowboard. Mallory has boots but needs skis and bindings. Morgan is all set with Mallory's old skis and boots. We were going to go to the Park City Ski Swap last night, but I got a call from a co-worker who said the line was one hour out in the cold just to get in, and they were charging $8 per person even for the kids. Forget that. There will be other sales.

My scooter repair is going slowly. I am a software engineer, not a mechanic. I broke a part just trying to get to the piece I need to replace. Now I start the quest to find a crankshaft oil seal for a Chinese scooter. Good thing Spring is a long time away.
