We've got a blustery wind that seems like it should be blowing some spring in...just more winter though. Maybe it will at least bring us some snow to go with our fridgid temps.

I took off work yesterday and went skiing with my friend Sid Vicious! WhooHooo! 3 feet of new powder and it was snowing so heavily I could hardly find the Bierstube.

Today, it's back to work.....

Hey Chief, you up?

I believe it's German for something, DUH!!! But yeah, it's a bar at the Red Lodge Ski Resort. They have a number of microbrews and other beers on tap, along with whatever else you might want to imbibe in.

Sid Vicious and I went through a pitcher of Moose Drool there yesterday! Then his ski fell off halfway up the triple chair. He he...that was fun!

Last time I skied at Red Lodge, my dad and I were the only ones on the mountain (besides staff). Why? It may have had something to do with the 50 below wind chill. The ski patrol guy in the warming hut at the top of one of the lifts looked at us like we were nuts. We were!

Marty, the wind hit about 2:00pm and got pretty nippy! There's a whole other side of the mountain open that I had never skied before yesterday. They have a high-speed quad and you don't get to rest between runs. I'm pooped today!

You've never skied Cole Creek before? Or are you talking about Palisades? I enjoy Palisades more than Cole Creek, although some of Cole Creek is good. I'm not into that steep bumpy stuff since that is what screwed my back up a couple years ago.

Sid's my friend who went skiing with me yesterday. He's a computer tech geek and has his own consulting service to set up systems and troubleshoot computer problems for people like me who keep messing things up. He was actually working riding up the chair lift talking on his cell phone to a couple clients whose systems were acting up. Then his ski fell off on one of the lifts and he had to hike half-way down the mountain through powder to find it!

I don't have any real ski pants lyra; just some wool army surplus pants from some european country. They really keep you warm and dry, but they're cargo pants and I keep loosing things in all those pockets! I thought I lost my credit card, but it was tucked way back in some pocket I didn't even know I had.

Heck, I've been up since 5:20 est. trying to get HPM out the door and down to Ocala. The rain is just letting up, and the air outside smells so good! Too bad the wind is going to pick up and cool it off. One cool thing is 101st airborne's 200 or so helicopters will be starting their move to Blount isl. soon to be shipped out. I'll be able to see/hear most of these!

Spent last night alternately between watching over one kid pretending to be sick, then another kid actually being sick. Fortunately, my wife did the honors on the second kid, but I still woke up everytime she had to get out of bed to take care of him. I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night, and now I'm at work. Fortunately, the boss isn't here today, so I can probably crawl under my desk for a nap later...


coffee....need more coffee...
