plot

I went to get lunch a short while ago here in suburban Armonk, NY. As I was waiting for my food, a young woman came in wearing a perky tennis skirt. She was all smiles and happiness. Babbling sweetly on the cell phone, bragging about having played 3 "awesome" sets in this simply delightful weather. Oh boy was she thrilled, and she was spreading her joy. The lovely weather! Don't you love the great weather?

I struggled to stand still and not kill her. I wanted her dead, dead, dead. I envisioned her blue face as my hands clutched her throat after she swallowed that cell phone.

The weather is really getting to me.

We need to start scheming now how to rub it in their faces when the big dump comes and they're in their shorts and flipflops. Grab the snow brushes from Walmart and sell them for the cost of a lift ticket. Then again, I won't be around these flatlanders when the big dump comes, so I have to have an automatic plan. ideaz?

I heard somewhere that here in NY/NJ metro they are comparing this winter to a typical Atlanta winter. In the history of recorded weather Central Park has seen at least a trace of snow by now. Its crazy that parts of this area could hit 70 later this week/weekend.

Its actually a bit spooky if you ask me.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR SALT LAKE CITY 2/2-2/6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I had a few hundred grand lying around I would get one of those planes that dump water on fires, fill it with some Utah snow and dump it on all the tennis courts I could find. Maybe a call to Bill Gates is in order. But does he ski?

I wonder if Greg is going to change the colors to spring with the tepms approaching 70 on Sat. Yes I'm still going skiing in the NCP. Thank goodness there is playoff fottball to ease the pain. Just another May ski weekend coming.

I don't think Greg is that cruel! At least I hope not!

I'd rather that you dumped the snow on my ski hill please...

At least the tennis players are getting out and doing something. Much better than the 95% of the people in this country that just sit on the couch.

 

[cbcbd]

I gather that from the information we have these tennis players are probably also the 5% in this country that doesn't have to work for a living... makes it much easier to get out.

Damn, I need a sugar momma...

Easy Jim. There are no ski slopes in jail. Anyone that insensitive to our need for snow is not worth killing. Take a Jet Blue "Redeye" to SLC. They have a terrific base going out there (around 50" - 60"). And, they are in a pattern for continuous additional snow over the next few weeks. Write me and I can give you some suggestions to save you some $$.

Working on a deal to get a free ski week in Colorado the end of Feb...pretty much a done deal.

I'm willing to give the east until mid-Feb to get some winter before I haul myself out west. If we're still in this pattern at that point, we may as well call it a "winter".

Would if I could.

 

[Phildozer]

Did you say anything after this statement? The mind took off from there based on the visual image! Now I know I'm getting delerious from all of this warm weather!

Hell yeah.

What are you complaining about? Those tennis skirts are one of the hottest pieces of clothing ever invented.

The skirt was fine; the perky female was fine.

It was the words coming out of her mouth.

:roll: ;-)..Ah Phil you tennis nut! Jenn Berg in powder garb beats the tar out of the uniforms for tennis queens.... ;-);-)

fwiw...portions of the Loaf's few trails had some quite nice snow on em' this morning...of course this was Day #1 for me with 100% circulation happenning in the newly blown-out boots;-)..from 8am till 1:30pm!!!(WoooHooo), so part of all this may just be the endorphin level of today....;-). Sunday the rain is supposed to stop and next week the temps are supposed to drop a bit....
As has been said...All is not lost, it's just a lowsy January....in New England...

Yes, I'm Back

Good to see you on Tirolerpeter!!! Hope you are feeling well.

Thanks for the kind words. "Feeling well" is a relative term. Yes, I am feeling better than when I regained consciousness after around three days of bizarre mental images floating around in my skull. They cut an 8" long curve in the area of the right frontal lobe of my skull, cracked out a wedge of bone, and stuck a mixmaster inside. Actually, they clamped off an aneurysm that was apparently very large, and worse, very thin, and getting ready to "leak" as the medical people express it. After around 6 days I actually started to know who I was, but was having trouble knowing where I was. Now I know I am ME, I know where I am, and I am working on putting together the move out west. I'm just waiting for clearance from the doctors to load up and start heading out west on I-80. I was out in UT at the beginning of the month, and had three great days of skiing with my son. He thought he had died and gone to heaven, and the locals were griping about the conditions...go figure! I am at the point where the headaches are diminishing and I am able to walk 3.5 mph on a treadmill for thiry minutes a day without any negative effects. Gotta try to hang on to whatever cardio conditioning this little adventure has left me with. I WILL be hitting the slopes in UT within a month.

Thats GREAT!!!! Happy to hear everything went well...Sounds like you dodged a big bullet. Hope I get the chance to ski with you out in UT.

Future Skiing

Thats GREAT!!!! Happy to hear everything went well...Sounds like you dodged a big bullet. Hope I get the chance to ski with you out in UT.

It definitely looks like I dodged a big one. As I have said before I too am looking forward to making some turns with fellow AZr's in that incredible UT powder. If you haven't had the chance to try it, you are definitely missing a fantastic skiing experience. I really hope I can put it together out west with some of you this season. How fast do holes in your skull tend to heal?
