Sir Henry daVideo

Epic. Capital E epic man. WOW

*what the hell is GeWilli talking about now*

Well. While eating a lunch i watched Henry's frantically encoded Dec 9th 2005 video of the Masters race.

Damn that looked like fun!

And seein as i ain't got windows down here in the lunch room of the picture factory i'm hoping to walk outside too see all that out there.

here's the thing. And honestly, you can't find conditions any less condusive to keeping warm than those. Wind, Rain, sleet, temps at the freezing point. -20 is warmer for humans. Water makes it worse. Good gloves (ya can see all the guys smacking their hands and stuff trying to get them to work) are critical.

Notice the one crazy lunatic at the start line there wearing shorts? Sumbitch went on to win only probably cause he wanted to get to the finish line before everyone else so he could warm up. That and he's from Portland. Cold and Wet ain't nuttin new.

We had a day like that hear last year. I did my little 50 minute commute. I coulda raced in the clothes i was wearing and have been find. The doc is right. All about picking the right clothing.

Ah but i'm a different breed. I think the hiada are cool for swimming nekkid in 30-40 degree salt water every morning (at least they used to). I commute to work in all types of weather on the bike. I'd convince everyone back in michigan that the only good thing to do when it snows at night was to go out and Mt Bike on the trails and make the XC skiers all grumpy (i felt less threatened by the skiers than the hunters out there in daylight hours).

I know i'm not the only one who will watch Henry's AWESOME video and get pumped up. Probably not in the majority, but man. How freaking awesome. *chills*

The shots there in the middle with the ice flows and the leaves washing down the start hill... wow. I just keep going back to watch certain sections.

That's like Epic. Way beyond? No. Nothing's beyond Epic. How can ya not have a big Sh!t eating grin on your face watching that!
