Brought my poor man's ski vice to work for some after hours rehab. It needed a new "boot". It works pretty good, thought about making a support to go under the front of the skis, but my skis are so stiff it isn't really an issue. It would probably relieve stress on the boot and extend rehab...

It's been quite busy at work lately, but an unexpected dry spell hit yesterday afternoon. Luckily it coincided with a snowy spell in Turin NY. It's been a couple years since I've skied Snow Ridge. Lake effect snow just ain't what it used to be. He'll, even Erie produced lake snow from this...

Wow, just wow. He doesn't look like he's related to 50 cent, but perhaps he is. I think that pitch was as close to first as it was to home. Did he really play hoops in college? Makes GW's strike with a Kevlar vest on after 911 even more impressive. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using AlpineZone...

The procrastinator that I am, I waited til the last minute to file my tax returns. I used Intuit Turbo Tax, and checked the "free" option. After several minutes of entering, and re-entering information, I arrived at a page that informed me that I couldn't continue with the "free" edition, and in...

Ok, what new places did you ski this year? For me it was Oak Mountain, West Mountain, and Camelback. Oak was pretty cool. Has to have the slowest lift anywhere, fixed gripped quad. Makes the Northwoods quad at Gore seem speedy. You'd ski out to the loading zone, and wait, and wait, and wait...
