Oh, hello.
Great skiing this weekend and another storm parking in the mtns today. Woot!

Big ol bunch of stuff to post up for sale on CL. Anybody need...anything?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Zero F here.

Sore from hauling wood to burn pile yesterday.

 

[eric strt6]

Lots of running in the rain and hitting the weights in the gym. I must be getting more fit because I'm not muscle sore this morning. Coffee is my priority this morning. Supposed to rain every day this week.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Holy moly! The wind!

Hello.

First day of school after the Christmas break today, so I can only assume the drive to work is going to be a complete clusterfuck. We'll see...

Major fail for myself this weekend, I forgot to buy more coffee.

I need a Samsonite briefcase full of moneys.

 

[Muddy]

Mmm... that's good OJ.

'Mornin. -2°F. Feels like -17 with wind. It was a chilly walk into work this morning. Though I'm always astounded at how much warmth a wool sweater can pump out when you're being active. I had to open my jacket as I was overheating with the sweater on underneath. And this is just a fleece lined softshell jacket, so nothing really warm at all.

Fun day doing some snowy trail work with @jackalope yesterday. Pups were stoked. Hopefully moar of the same today.

Cedar harvest

This guy isn't sketchy at all.

Happiest of trail pups. Not often you see frozen puddles here...

 

[SkaredShtles]

Sadly it appears my ski boots are toast. Ah, well...it was a good 14 year run.

On the bright side - time for new boots!!

 

[Adventurous]

Mornin peeps!

Made a delicious teriyaki salmon with soba noodles over the weekend and got in a good lifting session in the gym last night that I predict will cripple me at some point here.

I will also be trading in my XC skis this weekend for a set of these as they look neat as hell:

 

[SkaredShtles]

Snowllerblades?!?

 

[Nick]

snowlerblades with fishscale bases?

I predict some crippling, perhaps not from his gym workout though ....

 

[Pesqueeb]

Holy moly! The wind!

The puddles on the ramp are white capping.

 

[ICEBALL585]

Had the little one's first ski lessons of the season yesterday morning. Too damn windy and cold for my liking so spent that time in the lodge shooting the sh!t with the other parents (some of which are my friends).

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Homemade breakfast burrito with egg, cheese, black beans, homemade potato hash, linguica and sriracha.

[jstuhlman]

Kids school cancelled today due to XTREME ICE.

Since wife is out of town thru Thursday, guess I'll be calling in to my meetings.

Gonna be up in the 60s by the end of the week. Mountains are calling for a fuckit Friday!

It's gonna be a many-coffee morning.

What happened to them? Hole through the shell?

I am on a conference call, trying to keep Yuna from climbing on me too much and saying "daddy daddy daddy" into the phone.

 

[Heidi]

Lots of skiing was had. We spent some time trying to shovel our deck so it wouldn't collapse. BEST. WINTER.EVER

gff was saying on FB he has something like 4 feet already, and its supposed to snow all week.

 

[mantispf2000]

bunches and bunches of rain yesterday/last night. Areas here and around are flooded. Schools closed, roads closed (repair to Kingsbury gave way, so it's now closed, too), and lots of call-outs at work.

Wind is blowing pretty strong, too, so I may get my kite out......

Sounds about right..as long as it doesn't rain.

 

[mandown]

Don't want to leave my bed. Do want to let you know it's warm and comfy.

I heard that on the news this morning. Truckee River AND Russian are flooding. Ooof

 

[CBJ]

My chest is sore from last weeks bike crash and it got worse after 4 hours of soccer and running. Cold today but 58F in couple of days again.

[Heidi]

OH NO!

 

[SkaredShtles]

What happened to them? Hole through the shell?

Shells are both cracked around the forefoot buckle. I'd imagine the age of the plastic and the amount of reefing I have to do to open them enough to get my feet in finally did them in...

That and I think my feet have gotten longer in my old age has resulted in (hopefully not permanent) nerve damage from compression/cold this past week in my big toes.

you know, in addition to new boots, you should probably get new bindings and skis and poles while your at it. because safety. just in case.

 

[jonKranked]

OH NO!

that was something that i've always wanted to see.

i mean, i think it was stupid that it was done in the first place. but still.

That'd do it. I'm not sure if you have local loyalties but I was happy with Larry's bootfitting at, appropriately, Larry's Bootfitting.

http://www.larrysbootfitting.com/

Just don't expect to get out of there before a few hours. Popular place but I now have fairly well fitting boots, which given my foot width is absolutely amazing.

Morning Monkeys.

The news was going nuts about "4"+ snow Saturday, 1"+ ice on Sunday. Stay home, don't go outside!!!" We barely got a dusting late Saturday and it rained all Sunday melting what little crap we got. The wife managed to slip and somehow broke her "good" ankle (she had extensive work early last year on the other). Everything was closed yesterday "due to weather" that turned out to be nothing. Had to go WAY into town to Zoom care, then another Zoom care closer to downtown (Zoom Imaging) to get X-Rays. Crazy how quick it was, minus the driving and the shots were posted on the Zoom care site right after we got home.

We just switched to HSA after the first, see how this goes. It was pretty damn cheap for X-Rays, though. Thanks, Obama.

Pretty sure the concrete out there has plenty enough chemical in it for the water as it is.

How the heck did you cope with the pain? I have super tight Lange boots - super precise for tight aggressive skiing - but they are also super painful and cold. I frequently have to jump out of them to get the blood flow to my toes again.

 

[jimmydean]

gff was saying on FB he has something like 4 feet already, and its supposed to snow all week.

The video he posted in the Jeep looked like a hell of a lot of fun. I have in-laws in La Pine that have said the snowmobiling is going to be sweet this year.

I wish GFF still had the track conversion for the moto, I want to try it.

Braaaaap.

I remember driving through that when I was a kid. Bummer, as I was hoping to one day take Haley through it.

Fortunately the cold/tight combo numbed me back to the balls of my feet fairly quickly. But yeah - I had to take numerous breaks. It was so fucking cold. I had my NF Himalayan down mitts with hand warmers and my fingers were STILL getting cold on the tram run.
