After a small hiatus I am now returning to full time blogging. There is so much cool stuff going on here at the moment its time to start sharing and even for me its really nice to look back on old posts like a diary. So here is a pic of Edog, loudog and little Dylan. He is growing so fast now. Think he will be quite big in the end.

I took a day trip with my buddy Craig down to Monkey Island for a days sailing. Arrived and it was looking a little snow but as forecast it filled in very nicely and ended up howling crazy. Haven't sailed for over 2 months so not on form or fit for it but it was great fun although the shark thing still gets me down there. Craig snapped his mast and walking down the beach to help him out I found this little critter. Razor sharp teeth with everything behind the neck missing. Looks like a slightly bigger relative was hungry!

A couple of videos tht I have like recently. The first one from Phil Plaits Bad Astronomy blog which is great and well worth a look.

And this one of some trail riding fun in Queenstown where I now live. Its a fantastic place to be a mountain biker. Cruisy trails, awesome loops in the woods at 7 mile, perfect machine made berms on Ben Lomond and of course the Skyline Gondola which can get pretty scary
