This is why I love living out here. I get a little taste of country life and get to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. On Saturday night, my friends had a chicken they wanted to cook. Easy enough, right? Oh wait, she's still alive now. A bunch of us went over to their house to observe, and help out, a humane slaughter (oh, that's just such a harsh word) of this chicken. I had the chance to hold her legs. It was interesting, the whole thing, really. We then boiled it, plucked it, and gutted it. The next night a few people made a chicken stew for dinner. The chicken was not so tender, but the whole meal was delicious. Here's to country living!
So one reason I moved out here was to snowboard again. A bunch of us went up to Wolf Creek on Sunday and spent the day boarding. Oh man, it was glorious! Sun shining, beautiful mountains everywhere, and, the best part, NO LINES! Seriously, this was incredible. I was mainly with a few girls who I think are a little more experienced than me, but it made me a little more adventurous, which is a good thing. Afterward, we stopped at a little bar/restaurant on the way home and had some good local beer and I was loving life! And, I get to go on Wednesday as well. Oh man...
Sorry if the pictures gross you out.
Here are some photos from my time another day, but it's always pretty here!
So who's your new friend? Did you slaughter her? What a tough old bird.
