And the reason the K1 hoses are so short and the pumps are at the store not the fuel island.

Was snowing quite hard in Quakertown around noon, though the pic doesn’t do justice to the flakage

Should be there both days. No @popsSaturday.

Edit it double speed with the Benny Hill music over top and submit it to Jerry of the Day

Correct. About 20-25 cents. Over a little longer than that, per this log anyway.

Guess the state fish of Hawai’i is right out.

Good lookin out, thanks. Checked my email and they told everyone to come back Friday. I’ll play tomorrow by ear, if snow is bad I’ll excercise my leave at noon option. Either way I’ll be putting in for afternoon off Friday to make my appointment. Probably opens up some availability Friday though. Wonder how they figure that out, since no one has to reconfirm?

Already have a half day of work for Covid vaccine. If that’s cancelled I’m keeping the half day and coming up early afternoon, 2ish. If the vaccine isn’t cancelled, that appt is 5:15 so might come up after

It’s not a wash for my kid.

Damn kids oughta be in school!

Texas gave us bbq brisket, so they already succeeded.

I don’t care if you go off groomers with them, don’t even care if you ding em up. But you won’t want to, at least not the places we went. They’re definitely not “bring em around quick to maneuver through trees on the bike trails” kinda skis.

Nice. I’m a pretty handy guy. I could do this. I’ve also fixed the wiring at enough businesses at $100 per to know there’s reasons to pay someone else to do things I could Google and half ass with almost correct equipment.

Nice. Was thinking about bringing my son up but didn’t want to be there if it turned to ice. Guess I should have gone

Soul 7s is correct. 180 length, going up 8 cm over my current ski. Picked up Tyrolia SX10 binding for them. Probably take them up to Blue to get mounted tomorrow after work. Post pic when I get ‘em back

Light. I think the wife bought it. Candy canes are still out because the wife turns them together to form “hearts” for Valentine’s Day because she’s so clever, lol. Porch post desperately needs the strip job finished and repainted.

New skis from Canada - $395 Getting home before your wife to get the box off the porch - $Priceless

Just hope the worst of it stays up north here with us. I don’t want to get called in at 2 AM for an outage.

Yeah, the Monsters are a ski you really have to work. They want to be on edge as much as possible, and they’re heavy. Glad you got to see what a wider and stiffer ski can do for you though. I think something mid-90s to mid-aughts underfoot and stiffer than your RTMs, with some tail rocker would suit your ski style pretty well. You seem to throw your tails around a lot and that should make it easier with a bigger ski.

That’s like Sophie’s choice shit right there. Don’t make the man choose!

Or it must not have been this morning, because the crowds arrived super late. Hey, I’m back from a nice session at Blue Mountain the Thru Mountain. I arrived at about 8:40 this morning because I’m fat and lazy and like sleep a lot. Thankfully reports of the death of good skiing weather had been greatly exaggerated and it was some temperature betweeen 0 and 50 degrees at the base and a different temperature at the top, as evidenced by the fact that it felt different. In the house was JFDan, MBike, Indiggio, Tarponhead, Mixiplix, NaCl, Nastar Glenn and probably a bunch of others but like I said I got there super late. Even though I was 40 minutes past open I was only about 1/2 way down the row, so the crowds didn’t heed the opening bell either. Booted quickly and got in line for the 6, line was just about back to the spot where the nets end. The real end, not the spot Steeze drug them to yesterday. Played the single skier dance of shuffling into a line when Salty spotted me from the left VIP line and I shuffled some more so he could join me. He had already made 5-6 runs he said, and snow was good. Some rando invited himself on with us and we were both okay with it. He kept pretty good mask etiquette for the ride. We decided to ski down Sidewinder to the doubles as has been my MO most days by about 9am. I just find it easier when skiing solo or with Pops then trying to deal with the dance at the bottom. We made 7 runs off the Main st chair and never waited more than 4ish chairs except once when a Jerry/Geri couple left three chairs go empty as they prepared to board, and then Geri dropped her rental poles and they had to stop the lift and give them to the next chair. Can’t complain about lines like that on El Presidente Dimanche. We skied most everything you can off of the doubles, and Salty said he wanted to get in the glades so we did a Sleepy Hollow to Upper Main and I cut onto Switch while he missed the cut and ran main. After that we decided to carry speed into the Baumer glade and skied that. While in there Salty suggested pushing in deeper and we did a long meandering technical trek down some bike trails with semi-sketchy cover and ended up over on Sidewinder. Back to the double and we talked about Coming Soon. I hadn’t even seen it with snow in it yet so we decided to make our way tot he quad and run Paradise so I could stop at the intersection and check er out. So down Lazy to Sidewinder to Challenge to Falls to Homestretch we went and did just that. Could tell it was bumped up front the intersection and I don’t do bumps, but realized it might be another 4 years before it’s open again so it had to happen. Up the quad and had a fun fun down it, didn’t ski it well by any means and added to the free base grind I got on the bike trails earlier. Finished out Paradise and showed Salty a little pop out I like when there’s cover, skiers right down toward the bottom. Nothing gnarly, just a low pitch run, hard right, quick hairpin left and back to the piste around the last turn. Salty hadn’t skied around the features on NightWeaver yet this year so we did that and it sucked. Couldn’t find a flow. Had plans to finish with a run on Challenge, but on the bottom the quad was 7-8 people outside the gate and 6 just as bad so it was quitting time. Saw Mixi, MBike and Glenn (briefly) in the lot so popped another Mike’s and chatted. Salty said he was gonna go back out so I set up the Monsters for his BSL and told him to take a few rides on them. Mixi and MBike left, Salty and I got pizz, and I rolled out. He was having a great day, so maybe he’s still there. I really want to get a real night session in this week, but probably won’t. At the very least, ski y’all next weekend.

Still not much of an issue at the DDCC, the Double Double Country Club.

Battery, starter, doesn’t matter. Starter is only there to turn the engine over and get it started. Dropping a manual in gear does the same thing. As long as the motor is okay and so is the alternator it would run until you turn it off

If it was a manual like Salty’s we could’ve push started it
