    I just realized I'm booked every weekend until November 20. FML. Glad I got a day in already. Kick some ass and enjoy all, guess I'll see you in winter!

    I could be down for some early November work. I know I can't make this weekend's trail day (I'm also moving) and I'm uncertain on the other ones. Count me as a definite...maybe.

    "Tree hugger" Bob is rigging climbing gear & sharpening saws as I type. The limbs overhanging Black don’t know what’s coming.

    We'll be camping in the back lot. Should be there by sunset tonight.

    So...Monday's kind of early for making weekend plans but is anyone interested in doing some work at Magic this weekend? Saturday or Sunday doesn't really matter. Temps will probably be brisk but otherwise nice.

    I'm there. Won't get out of OEC practicals until 3pm sat, but if I have to hijack a busload of nuns at gunpoint to get my ass up there I'll do it.

    No sheetrock this weekend, either... There's some loose ends that need to get tied up PRONTO!

    An often overlooked yet irreplaceable staple of guerilla mountain maintainance: der burgers!

    Bumpin' it up for the midweek crowd.

    Looks like Sunday works better so Sunday it is.

    I have little in the way of tools (pretty much just a leatherman), but can bring some foodstuffs to go with der cheeseburgers

    Was thinking about taking a trip north this weekend anyways. Going to be time constrained, but will see what I can do in the way of helping out, or at least stopping by to visit.

    I'm actually spending the day with my Mom for her birthday and wanted to take her on a short hike around Magic since she's not much of a skier, but does enjoy the outdoors.

    We'd be heading up from Middletown, CT on Sunday morning.

    We have a small gasket shop here @ work so we just cut all new gaskets for the snowmaking system. No leaks, more water, more snow.





    Bluebird just sent me this one too. Trick valve house is in place.

    It's rare that I find myself excited about gaskets. Nice work, though!

    That's funny Radam, thanks! You'd be even more excited if you were ever in the pump house while they were making snow & seeing water spewing from the flanges. This should fix it. I sent them enough to replace them all.

    EW was complaining about "leaks" the other day... can you send him a gasket or two, too?


    Seriously, talk about a grass roots effort. Gasket gifts, share sales, tree/trail clearing, etc. I can't wait to ski and try to poach some of these stashes this year. Nice work.

    You can't poach it if we WANT you to ski it, dood!

    Oh’ yeah, these are like the high end custom skis of gaskets. Really hoping they work well.

    CMP-4001 Industrial Gasket Material was developed specifically to meet MIL-G-24696SH(B) for U.S. Naval shipboard applications. It is the only solvent-free gasket material that meets NAVSEA requirements. It is applicable for all naval shipboard applications from medium pressure steam on down. A non-Mil-Spec version is available as CMP-4200

    Same ones that are on our Navy ships. USA, USA, USA!
