Movies, Games & Plumbing

Watched a few movies this week as I haven't seen any movies in weeks or longer. Watched Avengers Age of Ultron and found it pretty bad and not worth seeing again. The movie had no story and no tie to the Marvel universe. Another movie watched was San Andreas and found that more entertaining to my surprise. Also watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and liked it. This week introduced a young person to Big Trouble in Little China as I haven't seen that movie in many years and still a cheesy cult classic.

Played Smallworld, Survive! Space Attack, Marvel Legendary as well as Catan Jr. this week a few times. Have Legendary Encounters in my game room table hoping to get that learned this weekend. Maybe the Mountain Communities Board Game Group will get together this weekend and I can get in some games and maybe some smack talk.

Went on a nice run with a "pacer" and felt good until a new set of shoes started to horribly bother me. Forgot my nice Salomon Sense Mantra 3 shoes that I have been feeling good running with. I felt I could have done my 10kms under the hour and gone longer without these issues and my pacer starting to "poop" out. There is always a next time.

Still reading The Gods Themselves and was hoping to have it read by now. Past the halfway point and starting to pick up the pace again. A nice read thus far and very hard sci-fi by Asimov.

Sadly this week I will not have Natalia with me and was hoping to have company over most of the weekend relaxing and cooking but that is not to be. Maybe go out on a mountain bike ride and hit the trail with an old friend Anthony "4%". So far the plan is stay home, clean up and keep working on my plumbing issues around the house.

Below is a short documentary on the life of a trail runner and adventurer. Men who lead simple lives in a  world where so many of us do so much to complicate our lives.
