Rain today. Rain tomorrow. Rain friday. Cant get enough of it!!! i thought it might never rain!!! good news is, i have been reading about temperatures really cooling off. Next week for the Poconos below. Heading in the right direction. I still need to manage my leaves though. I hate wet leaves.

Not sure if I’ve posted this before. New kicks (Finally).

My place is all mature oak trees that I have to clean up after many times every fall. I have two hand held blowers and a 5 horse walk behind blower. I am lucky in that my property slopes to the creek and the prevailing western wind blows toward the creek. Blowers weren't an option when I was young, we used to rake every thing. I still have a home made wooden rake that is 6 feet wide with 12 inch tines and a 7 foot handle that I can move large hip deep piles with. Back then we could burn so we made a long pile in the driveway that circles my house and burned them. Now burning is not allowed. which I am ok with because I burned once or twice as an adult and was in fear of all the glowing embers flying into the air threatening to land on the roof. I have a system of using blue tarps and an ATV with a trailer to put them in the creek for right around my house, takes about 3 hours. On the lower half of the property I can blow all of the leaves directly into the creek which takes another 3 hours. I always end up doing large parts of three neighbors properties because their leaves end up on my place anyway.

Was just given a pair of K2 Axis skis with Marker Bindings.

Nice day for a BaconFest ride! Not so so good for Indggio and his rear tire... got to see Mr & Mrs Root! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just want to ski. Maybe first week of December for blue.

I prefer natural bumps because the make you have to think about where you're gonna make your turns as opposed to seeded bumps that just let you get into a monotonous rhythm. I'll ski either, but I'll take a good dumping and the natural bumps that follow until they groom the life out of them.

Glad to hear there is a good reason for preferring natural bumps. Tailor made for a skier like me is just exactly perfect.

Cause they’re easier and not as tight.

I was talking about PA not Vermont.

the exception being tunkhannock at elk in good snow seasons

Decent bump runs need to be seeded in PA as the terrain isn’t steep enough for the bumps to form naturally unless there is a ton of natural snow.

i am surrounded by trees as well in the poconos, but its a chore to blow them all to the back yard, to get them into the woods. plus i hate having the huge pile of leaves to look at.

Spent about 8 hours total this past weekend getting the matted leaves up out of the lawn.

JFBB the weekend before Thanksgiving. Heard it here first.

Neither are mogul runs. Salty is probably talking about push piles.

Serious new snow at Loveland

6 miles

When you get a flat and don’t have a spare and try to ride back to your car... I was sitting there trying to work innertube back inside tire when a group of riders came upon me. First guy in group decides to stop to help but second guy doesn’t see first guy stop, runs into first guy and goes head over handlebars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They'll slog out to the car and sleep all the way there.

That's a great deal. Thanks for sharing here.

I bet you’ve been to more places than Johnny law and Matt edge combined

Current locale

I bet your kids love being passholders at Blue so much they’ll chip in for their passes next year.

Cheap ass.

I bet you one enthusiastic, forceful high-five.

Pharaoh has that turn and it usually has moguls. I don't do moguls. Cliffhanger is the # 1 trail in the world!
