Mine is only about a 2 right now.
I've had this to keep me busy for about the last month.

Hope to be done by the end of the month so I can move the bug to my new house!
THEN the jonesing will start!

I wouldn't appreciate winter without the other seasons. There are also so many things to enjoy about spring, summer, fall... fresh vegetables, bikinis, foliage, hiking/camping, cycling, fresh seafood, bikinis, fresh herbs, bikinis, Oktoberfest, Thanksgiving, bikinis...

Let me know if I left anything out.

What's really getting me excited is my level of fitness is higher now than it has ever been. Hopefully I can keep that up through the fall and translate that into faster skinning, and less fatigued skiing in the winter.

If there's one thing I notice about my skiing, I feel confident, agile, limber and unstoppable when I'm fresh... when I'm tired, it all goes down the shitter. I'm hoping to retain that fresh feeling longer.

This not skiing into June and July due to injury thing serious jumps the Jones up much earlier than I am used to!!!

My jones shot up to like 3 or 4 today after thumbing through the Skiing magazine that came in the mail yesterday. I'm actually enjoying my summer and not necessarily looking for it to end yet, but I am really looking forward to winter.

Nice work! I'm too chicken to do anything like that myself!

Jones is getting up there. Hit tent sales last week up in Conway (bought nothing) Looking for a ski deal online to compliment the snowboard isn't helping things..

My old man asked my kids what their favorite time of year is today (while swimming and having a blast in his pool) One of them replied "Winter cause we can ski and get presents" She is 5, I would say her jones is pretty high but she has no idea....

The dreams just started a few weeks ago. Just sailing down a trail, alot of snow, no traffic, no noise, nothing weird, nothing out of the ordinary. And then I wake up with the shakes. I'd say I'm at an 8.

Crap, now I just played WiiSki, put me at a solid 4, maybe 5 after I go watch some ski porn...

The jones is creeping in, but still in check. Hard to believe we're approaching September already. Soooooon.

I noticed last night that it's getting dark before 8pm. A good sigh. Jones is still in check, but will creep up a bit when I start classes in two weeks.

Yes, that's a major bummer for MTB rides after work... It does mean that fall is coming though. It's also easier to get me kids to go to sleep easier, so that's another plus.

Oops. An eBay Saved Search just hit my email Inbox this morning. $200 brand new for XWave10s in my sensationally big 30.5 size. Triggered=Pulled. Same boots I currently ski but my current boots have been reaching the end of their life. Most concerning was the wearing down of the fore and aft plastic that attached the boots to the bindings. Time to retire the old boots after over 200 days these past half dozen years. I am sure the Jones will spike once these arrive and I drop my old foot beds in and try them on. :lol:

It's been over a month since I've done a RAW ride. I've been spending time at the community pool after work since they are closing down on Labor Day.

Fall weekend morning rides are coming soon. So brisk and refreshing! :D

My ski jones is non existant, MTB jones is in full swing. Fall is by far my favorite time of the year for riding and I can't wait until it's here
