Am I weird?

I know most everyone here gets the ski jones...I know I do. Even when it isn't too bad like this past season I get it.

And it's always in the background until July 4.

Stay with me here...about 10 years ago I put some ski gear away a bit wet and opened it up the next season to a whiff and fuzzy coat of mildew. Blech! So I always leave my gear out to dry in my cool dry basement until fully dry. Until July 4th.

Sure enough, today I woke up free of the jones. I went downstairs and put my gear away, put my footbeds and liners back in my boots, packed things up for my first ski trip of 08/09, and woo hoooooo it's ski season 08/09.

And tonight I get fireworks.

Maybe it's a mental illness.
