Iconic post due to the Radio Ron sighting... awesome!

Way to get at it! Hard core! I take it that the Turn of the River was closed? They are a cheap place to stay and it is decent I hear. And great to see you got to ski with Bird Man and Radio Ron. I have seen and met Radio Ron a couple times. Nice guy. He invited me to join his band that he was forming. I take it that he was doing his trademark "dip, dip, dip" as he skied!

I did think of just stopping at every hotel/motel I passed and offering $20 for a room untill I got a taker. $20 is better than an empty room, isn't it? I saved $40 by bartering with the owner of the Mountain View Motel near Sugarloaf. When I asked how much, he said $70 per night. I countered with $100 for two nights, he accepted. I kind of enjoy negotiating room rates down if possible. Sometimes I'm so tired I just give them what they want. This was the case when I stayed in Rangeley my first night, $80. The place was virtually empty, and it was a week night. I'm sure I could have done better. My body won the war over my head that night. There were mega empty rooms in the Killington area too I'm sure.

Yep, dip, dip, dip, I almost forgot. I got a big kick out of skiing with Bird Man, he's crazy like a fox. His shtick is his Golden Retriever, his entre to conversation with the opposite sex. He was approached by several women throughout the day. I'm sure if he were dressed like the rest, no one would pay him any mind. Except maybe the fact he's friggin huge, when was the last time you saw someone 6' 7", 300+ pounds at your local hill? Must be cool to have women approach you, why should we have to do all the work? Kids get a kick out of him too, animal rights activist, not so much. He told me a story of being approach by a woman who was upset about all the animal hides he was wearing. He told her, " See this vest? It was from a female sheep. I utilized her three ways." I laughed my ass off, he's a real ball buster. He gets off on rattling people's chains. Ski resorts are full of people who could use a good chain rattling.

One urinal flush rinses the shampoo out of your hair. Even for me and I use a LOT of hair product on my wavy locks.

I sent my Son to college on what I've saved on shampoo and conditioner, and hair cuts, over the last twenty years.:wink: I knew there was an upside to being folically challenged. Can I use the urinal as a bidet? High class hard core!

Well if you were wearing roadkill sking all day, you'd stink too. I wonder if he hoses that outfit down in the summer. Saw him last winter at K getting into the gondi as a single...musta stunk up the cabin.
