Finally have a bit of time to scribble here. I had a very intense weekend starting with Saturday where I rode MTB most of the day then taught technical diving skills at the pool from 6-10. The next morning I got up at 5:30 and drive up to Jefferson Lake, at about 10,000ft to do a pair of deep dives there. The water was cold and murky, but the dives were good. There were some large trout sitting on the bottom, very lazy because of the cold. You could almost reach out and catch them with your hands, they moved so slowly. I left Jefferson at about 3 and headed back to Boulder where I taught skills again from 6-10. Monday was a work day followed by yet another pool session from 6-10. By Tuesday morning I was pretty beat. I am happy to get a break now, though the teaching was very rewarding. Watching people transition from absolutely struggling to a degree of competence really gives a good feeling, especially when the skills being taught will keep them safe/alive.

The lilacs are out in force here in the mountains. My favorite time of year.

The pine trees are all having sex. There is pollen everywhere.

Spring.
