Stayed up to listen to the locals chuck miniature bombs out of their cars. It was a real thrill.

Went for a walk, checked out the fancy Radisson Blu hotel today. Drinking a g&t and watching a special about Dynamo the magician.

Also looking at the Turner 5spot as an alternative to an SB66.

Is it just me or is the 5spot EXACTLY the same as an Iron Horse MKIII?

I currently ride and love my MKIII... This is not productive thinking...

Happy new year. I guess.

Good morning and Happy New Year.
(made it until 11 to talk to somebody in central time zone)

Up having coffee, thinking about skiing but it is COLD up there this morning.

DaPeach: I ride a 5spot and love it. Why did you sour on the SB66 ?

I wouldn't say I soured on the SB66, I've just been doing too much reading... Bad bearings on early models, grit eating the switch link, etc...

Plus, it seems Turner is selling off their old 5spots for cheap.

Deals always pique my interest...

Happy New Year! We barely made it to midnight in our house and thankfully Alex slept in a little for mommy this morning too. My mom spent the night and I wanted to spoil her so I put together a french toast bake last night and she woke up to the glorious smell of coffee and french toast bake to start her new year! Now I am fixing a ham, scalloped potatoes, a spinach salad and some other goodies for lunch/dinner. The kids are all gearing up for some sledding too...should be a great day!

What up, hoss!? Went for a two hour snowshoe hike this morning with wife and friends. Now I am tired and sleepy. Grilling some salmon for dinner. Back to work tomorrow after a four day weekend. BOOOOOO!

Good afternoon.

Skied all day, including some big honkin' steep bump runs on which I did not flail nor die. :rockout:

Almost stopped for smoked wings and a beer but came home instead. I've devoured every snack-like item in my kitchen but I'm still hungry. Hot shower and dinner ahead, stat.

Hola, all. Flew back home along with all manner of other weary travelers. Back to the work grind tomorrow, but thankfully short days from here through June!
