For 17 years, Mike West has run snowboard outerwear brand 686. And after all that, his career has brought him to this point. Sitting in front of me. I’m sorry Mike, this must be terribly disappointing.

So a few years back, Frank and the rest of the Qubic guys asked if we wanted anything from their home, New Zealand. Outside of Nutella and Lord of the Rings movies, and cool Maori tattoos, I couldn’t think of what else NZ was known for beyond my favorite candy in the world, TIM TAMS. Every year since, they’ve sent us a nice care package of the delicious chocolate treat. This year, they went overboard. In a good way.

I can see clearly. Now that the rain has gone.

Benjie must have been bored on his lunch break.

Tylor Tyler. On top of the world.
