I used to ski straight Olins. Comp SL... With a wood core. 210cm. That was their slalom ski. 😆🤣😂... Even took 'em to Jackson Hole... HOLY MOLY did tech ever change in 40 years!!!! Last pair of straights, circa 1990... Atomic Arcs... Turned them into a dog sled for my son's Boy Scout troop... Tore up the competition @ the Klondike Derby! 😆 These flatlanders here never seen anything like those Arcs... 😆

How did I miss this topic? Is this how schisms happen? 😆 Nine-Eleven Tavern is better. Yeah, for ShitsAndGiggles let's say 100% better. 😆 That doesn't make Bar-Bill bad though...

You mean the old Washington Senators win... 😏

We did Banff YEARS ago. 1980s on straight (210s) skis... Sunshine, LakeLouise and Mt.Norquay... Never got back to ski except for honeymoon in June of 1994... Banff/Jasper that is.

I never did Snowshoe... But would like to go there!

2008 in Baraboo, Wisconsin... People were bringing their batteries into the hotel. Screw that shi... I put an SAE pig tail connector on my batteries to facilitate charging it easier OR putting the pack on it.

No. That trip I took my old 2006 Jeep TJ Wrangler... I got up every 2 hours or so to run it for a 1/2 hour. Lots of practice doing that @ work with our old compressors years ago...

Ribbons work... You can spot the ski. Coldest I ever skied. Actual temp was almost -30°F. Mid-January... Still open water on Lake Superior! Not too much vertical in MidWest... Mount Bohemia on The Keweenaw in Michigan probably the biggest vertical.

My son and myself 5 years ago... Lutsen Mountains, Minnesota... Between Duluth and Thunder Bay, Ontario. That's the sunrise over Lake Superior in the Arrowhead of Minnesota @ almost -30°F... Why I covered my goggles going through the snow gun... Son went through woods to avoid the plastering... Coffee run cruiser on a flat hill... But Gitchee Gumee looks beautiful and we were basically the only ones out that early w/the snow patrol... I got one comment a few months ago... Can anyone explain it, or make heads or tails of it... Is it religious???

RIP...

Did you know that Andre Reed and Jamie Mueller didn't go to Division I schools. Heck Mueller wasn't even NCAA. Benedictine is NAIA. 😏

I am critical of it.

Silly goose, there would have never been no Bills-Bengals game!

I hear ya! Smell what you're grillin'!

No Mario Clark?

We gave them Edmunds. They might be pissed. 😆

Oh... HFBD man! 😉

Happy Birthday Meadster! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!!! Enjoy!

2016... https://www.cleveland.com/shatter/2018/06/who_mows_the_lawn_at_your_hous.html "...The stats seem to line up with traditional gender roles. Women cook and clean. Men mow the lawn. "In three waves of feminism, women have punched through glass only to be pushed back down by thick blades of Centipede and Bermuda," Jennifer Graham wrote in the Boston Globe in 2012. She calls it the "grass ceiling." ... ...But why, when women can push a mower just as well as men? And get some exercise and fresh air, too. And it's not just cutting grass, of course. It's pulling weeds and clipping hedges and using a trimmer. It's harvesting veggies from the garden and planting bushes on the front walk. ..."

Except in one country where men cook more... Can you guess which country... You thoughts on why? https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/10/30/1209473449/worldwide-women-cook-twice-as-much-as-men-one-country-bucks-the-trend
