Rain, Repairs, Renovation, Rad Rig, Rugby, and Real SL

Rain

The Autumn season is here with rain mixed with the first snow of the season. It is beautiful. The skiers are excited about Utah snow. Utah has done some new ads.

Repairs

Tim's '96 Camry had to be towed to the shop this week. New starter, CV boot covers, ABS repairs. . . but it will last a few more years with a little love and $.

Renovation

Tim and the gang used to eat lunch everyday at the ZCMI Center Food Court. Here's what it looked like on Friday.

Rad Rig

The Church has a new HD broadcast truck. It allows for broadcasts away from HQs such as the one last week from the Marriott Center in Provo, as well as an additional studio when we have multiple uses at HQs. It is sweet. We've had it a week and have used it three times. It will get a workout.

Rugby

On Saturday Joseph took his Dad to see the USA vs Uraguay Rugby match at the Rio Tinto stadium. The weather was beautiful (if crisp) and the game was awesome. USA won the game 43 to 9. Joseph used to love playing on the school team in England, he never let Mom watch his games (afraid she would make him quit playing). It is a real man's sport. It was really fun watching this level of play in Salt Lake.

Real Salt Lake

Later on Saturday evening the Real SL clinched their win over the first round opponents in their first ever playoffs. They play the New York Red Bulls next week, here in Salt Lake, for the Western Conference Championship. Go Real. The Jazz won Friday, BYU won Saturday. . . life is good.
