.....drove my mazda miata hooptie gas saver 30 more days into the fall / winter than I expected to without seeing any salt on the roads.

.....sat outside on the patio and had a fire last Sunday night and needed only a light sweatshirt all the way through a cigar and 4 scotch's until midnight.

.....haven't even really considered waxing the good ski and won't do anything other than check the bindings on the rock skis.

.....hung xmas lights a few weeks ago in shorts and a t-shirt.


Oh god, I could go on. This thread is depressing.

...didn't put the lawn mower up and shutoff the water valves until December 12th
...didn't put the snows on until last Sunday
...didn't dig out the hat and gloves, or use the seat heater until this week. :(
...started worrying that I might not be able to use all my vouchers
...entirely cleared off my honey-do list
...stopped watching the weather radar. It's too painful.
...stopped worrying that a Christmas visit to the relatives would lock me out of skiing.
...repacked my ski bag three more times.
---lost my Ullr medal and it's driving me crazy
...am fearing for my life since I really pumped up my club for skiing & trips this year.

FOUND HIM! Ullr was in the cold and dark attic. I think he thought he had done his job. I'm taking him out into the balmy sunshine. He's getting hot now. Please, please do your stuff Ullr. I'm having a hard time finding any more virgins for the pyre. :cry:

Hey watchoutbelow,

You are really being mean and cruel to yourself. Costco has a walk-in freezer that should really shake you of such evil thoughts.
Don't forget, Ullr is on his way.

I know. It's really bad. I have also been picturing my favorite trails at Gore and pretending to go down them while doing squats to get my quads ready. My fiancee says I am losing my mind.

Screw this nonsense, I've had it, and I'm leaving for Florida on Thursday. I'll dream of skiing while golfing.

Ah If only there was someone who could predict the weather with 100% certainty, I would have booked Florida as well. I've got no connections in NM or AZ where the snow is now (according to my SLC connections its not really in Utah yet) so it would be the perfect time to be down there. Could have taken care of the wifes desire for some quality pool time and not missed a thing. There's nothing worse then being down there when the skiing is good.

....just finished washing every lousy window in my house.

Yep - did that yesterday. Last leaves raked and the soccer goal came down on Saturday.

Did get a dusting Saturday night - the puppy's first snow! But, all snow near the Cape is wasted snow.....
