“DORKleaf, I am not sure if I am swinging through the Tree House.

How is Duh Big Ape doin`?”

“I may I havent decided yet either. ill be there on the 19th of this month tho! AND I got you for the ornament exchange. wooohoo!”

“Jack you gunna bring 2 pairs of shoes this yr?”

“One for each feat?”

“Are some of you bringing their tent or will everybody stay in the leanto?”

“Some will stay in tents and some in the lean to.”

“But be warned that most everybody cooks in the lean-to and there have been some spillages by those that will not be named.”

“Yup, bring your ice skates, Hans Dinker.

And don`t forget the hockey pucks!”

“Euro, Mark YGM.”

“YGM X 2, actually.”

“hey! hold my snowshoes and watch this!!”

“If the snow were deep enough I could dig myself in and built a quinzee.”

“Ex-squeeze me?”

“you guys are going to freeze your asses off!”

“In Wyoming they taught us to find a spot where the snow pack is at least 1.60 meters deep, or more, to built a quinzee on it. I guess 1.60m (5ft?) is not going to happen in the Adirondacks, huh?”

“Iglo building on Wildcat mountain (NOLS Jan.2009)

“digging a quinzee


Quinzee Village



spacious three bed quinzee to let:
”

“you should have 5 foot easy”

“We used to build quinzees over a frame of branches. That way one does (ever noticed how the speach of everyone becomes more stilted without apostrophies?) not need as much snow.

You kids cannot appreciate how things are so much esaier nowadays.”

“Sure ting, Pops!

It seems that we had about 1.5 to 2 meters of snow this year. Next year, who knows?”

“Pray for snow, kids.”

“There`s currently 2 - 4" of snow in the Adirondacks. I guess that`s a start.”

“That`s about all it is, Zac.”

“Anything decent on my side of the hills, Zac? I guess I shall take a drive with my new skis.”

“Mo` Snow!!”

“Looks like you may get plenty of it. Isn't there a blizzard heading East?”

“Looks like I`m in the 8 - 13" snow zone for this storm.”

“I hope you have bought enough emergency rations, particulare sardines, to sit out the storm if it comes to the worst?”

“Rations are depleted. Had 60 pounds of venison go bad this weekend because somehow the freezer door was partially open for several days.”

“Oh no!?”

“OH NO!!!!

”

“That is rough, Zac.

They are predicting up to 25 cm of snow here, then rain. I am only getting my snow tyres put on at 3.30.

Euro, did you eat kippers when you were living in UK?”

“I think I never had kippers. Sometimes, when we stayed at B&Bs, they would offer kippers for breakfast, but somehow the idea of eating fish for breakfast was too weird for my continental tastebuds.
:-)”

“Too bad. You missed a great treat.”

“Gremlin, do you eat baked beans with fried eggs for breakfast?”

“I loved the cooked english breakfast, with baked beans, fried eggs, a fried tomato, bacon. I just couldn't stand those little sausages and the black pudding.”

“No, but most people round here do. Actually, I rarely eat breakfast.”

“The Forces served baked beans for breakfast at Val Cartier mess hall when I was there.
And they let us go back for seconds.......the U.S. Army never did that.”

“Gawd bless them Canucks!!”

“Anybody planning to stay until Monday?”

“I”

“Me”

“Me too.”

“Not I. It`s not a holiday I get off.”

“Yup. Gotta post on the Rockburn thread now.”

“Rock on....”

“Mark, are you arriving Friday or Saturday?”
