Death to my Lock

Today I went snowboarding..... and I locked it up against the fence thingy before going inside to eat. The chalet is set up so that you can watch your stuff from the inside, while you eat. It was very cold and windy today. The wind blew my board off the fence, and then it fell inbetween the two horizontal fence part thingies.

looked like this at first...

--l------l------l-\-\----l-----------
--l------l------l--\-\---l-----------

then like this:


--l------l------l-\-\-----l-----------

okay, not exactly. it's really hard to draw, but the board was between the two racks.... and the edges of my board scraped against the fence =( and now its all scratched up and gross looking!

After dinner, i went out to get my board... but i couldn't unlock it =( it was stuck or something stupid like that. so i went inside to get it cut........... and now my lock is dead. it's served me for 3 years sigh; so sad.


it was very windy. and the snow was hard. so either you  don't move, or you move really really fast.

first run: i couldn't move lol. cauz i wasn't used to having the board on yet. or something like that. i need to warm up; always important for me. i hate those ski places where they make you do the test on your FIRST run. so you can't even go practise and do the test later. you must do it asap. as soon as you put on your board, you have to get tested. why!? i can board so much better..... AFTER I get my first few runs down. takes time to get used to it you know! im not rich enough to go often =( . ughh.  after a few runs though, it was great =) .

also: i need to get my board waxed and sharpened - get a tune up. (costs around 20+?)
sigh apparantly, you're supposed to do this once a season. i have done it 0 times out of 4 seasons so far, with this board. or you could wax it yourself - (waxing iron - 80$, wax - $$$, manual labour @_@)

snowboarding is expensive hobby #2. =( so sad. why! this is why i am broke. for the next five years, all my money will go towards university......... hurray...........i think these are my most expensive hobbies. ever. lol unless you add up years of piano... D= those are expensive too. and swimming lessons D= oh no. its not looking so good.........
