    I must miss skiing

    This month I have bought four pairs of skis two set of bindings and built a backyard rail out of the boys old swingset, and I have a ski movie running on the computer almost all the time. My wife just shakes her head when jr. and i discuss proper goggle tint, she says we are sick, but I feel fine. Is this common or am by myself out there?

    around late september freshman year of college i scared the shit out of my roommate. he came back from class to find me sitting at my desk with goggles and boots on watching a skiing flick. We'd only known each other a few weeks, so I'm sure he considered an alternate room assignment.

    EDIT: not just goggles and boots. I think i had shorts on, but still...

    You are not alone.
    I do the same thing. If I could have it my way there would be only 2 seasons, 3 months of Autumn and 9 months of Winter. The only thing that helps me cope with Summer is Golf but I prefer Golf in the Fall.
    No just for the savings but I've purchased most of my Ski gear in the Summer because it helps me deal with the withdrawal. When I receive my stuff by mail or courier its the medicine I need and it helps with the pain.
    My Wife has come to terms with my obsession but she still can't get around my desire to have sex with my Ski gear on, go figure.

    Ya I did that,bought a Connondale bike rode it all the time. My oldest son wanted to "borrow" it at school in Chicago, he had it for a week and let his room mate use it and it was acquired by souls unknown and never found its way home. If you have kids you know what i'm sayin. A new bike is in my future, but not with the passion of a new set of boards.

    Mammoth is still open for another 10 days. I've skied the past five and will probably go tomorrow, hit the mountain bike trails (opens tomorrow), and then go hit the river for the evening hatch.

    Add two googles and a spare lens that was too go to pass up. And a too good of a deal on some Griffin demo binders from Marshal. And the beat goes on.

    ^^^^Damn, glad to hear your dentist business is kicking ass.
    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    HA Ha I just got a handwritten bill from the family dentist, must have gone one too many billing cycles. Paid in full and less than a week later a notice on checkups due. Too funny.
    For whatever reason I also picked up a 67" water ski for use next summer.

    I thought I was bad because I impulsively bought a pair of skis then had to get some used binders to fit them.

    I bought some clothes, too, but it was an even exchange. Had a pair of Cloudveil Koven pants in at Spyder for a warranty (Spyder used to own them). They lost my pants. Didn't want any marshmallow pants so I got a check for three hondo. Bought two pants and a jacket for roughly 310. Gotta love that.

    You're not officially sick until you become a fan of the blurred chronicles

    We encourage the use of fart sacks, so you'd probably fit in just fine.
