There was some large bright thing in the sky for an hour this morning. I was going to call NASA or the Swedish Space Whatever because I was scared......then somebody told me that it was the "sun". Apparently, it actually does come back.

Effin A, monkeys. Effin A.

Since this thread is a snow discussion, we got about six inches Friday night (that's what she said), and are looking at up to a foot Tuesday night into Wednesday. NEAT.

Skiing ruled Saturday. They ought to charge extra when you have that much fun. Then I bought new skis. Good stuff. Good times. We bailed Sunday so I could work. That's kind of lame imo.

Good morning!

I have been on the phone with ATT Wireless customer service the last 30 minutes. A wall of incompetence is my best description so far.

more likely...town drunk who lost his license.
I chuckled when I read this because it pretty much used to be the rule around the Carolina's that if you saw somebody on a bike or a scooter, you can pretty much bet the farm they have a DUI in their immediate past. Now......not so much. We're still a long ways away from becoming an Oregon in terms of acceptance.

I hope everyone is starting out Monday in good spirits. It's a beautiful morning out there. Stevew is seeing snow in his part of the state, but it hasn't quite made it here to us yet.

Fire is blazing and coffee is hot. Ready for action.

Morning all.

I took a shower with my new cast on last night. Paying the extra $50 for the gore-tex liner was worth it. The cast is 100% waterproof. I can even swim in this thing if I wanted to.

Today I am going to start using the trainer I bought last week. My plan is to get at least an hour of pedaling in each night after work (if not more) while I am out with a broken wrist.

Happy Monday! Friday night while I was out living it up at a local spot someone took my coat :( I'd like to think they did it accidentally in their drunken state so I hope they return it to the bar. My bike lock keys were in the pocket too :(

Atomic Blackeye. 174 cm. Paid $800 w/bindings. I spent Saturday on a demo pair and decided Sunday morning to buy a pair.

I wanted a new pair before we go to Utah (end of this month) and wanted them soon enough to ski on them before the trip.
nice! i bought some atomics too, but they were a lot cheaper

Saturday @ Mt Snow was my first time out w/ them. it would have been funny to run into you there. i had a blast...it was my first time skiing in a long time (maybe 8 years?).

That's pretty cool about the cast, but I sure do hate that you're beating up on yourself so much lately.

As much as I would like to see Oregon win tonight, the reality is Cam Newton is a freak of nature and has been having his way with defenses all year. I don't think there is any team in the country that can beat Auburn this year.

it's snowing......and some jackass rode by on a scooter....
Couple years back, we were heading down from Bachelor and saw a guy on a beamer, skiis on the back, HAULING ass up. There was a good 6" of fresh and falling hard. Not sure how he kept it upright but he obviously did this regularly.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Afternoon. Got a foot of snow over the weekend but didn't get to play in it much. Very long night last night. My disabled brother is in the hospital. He spike a high fever and they said he had pneumonia, so they admitted him. Fever is back and now the Drs. are debating whether it's just pneumonia or something more :(

Sorry to hear about your brother. Hope things start looking up for him soon!

the smoke's are the black eye's little brother LOL

I'm sure you did see us. There were 5 of us and we were LOUD! :weee:
the only people i noticed were the teenaged hooligans wearing Jets jerseys.


i don't know the mountain that well but we skiied some of the North Face area (Freefall for sure) and some blues off the main summit primarily.

saw some skier do a nice barrel roll off one of the big jumps.
