    Coronavirus and Skiing

    This is sadly accurate. And regarding Warp's memories of boxing that's what our parents in our neighborhood did with us when we started rumbles. Our parents knew what was going on because we were all outside with each other in plain sight. After a few rounds of boxing everyone was wiped out and...

    Fish Tales

    8/5-Rye Lake with Steve. Cloudy early and fishing was good for about 3 hours. Then it cleared up and the fishing really died. I always prefer clouds to blazing sun and the fish seem to as well, especially in August. We did catch a bunch of decent sized smallmouths while the fishing was good...

    Coronavirus and Skiing

    I think you are going to be disappointed. It's pretty clear that we're heading back to masking and distancing. I just hope there's no parking reservations like last season.

    Toggenburg Mountain Sold

    As a NYS taxpayer my entire life I'm quite happy that ORDA uses some of my tax money to operate ski areas, and I'd have no problem with them spending more. IMO the best use of my tax money I can think of.

    That's what I call the "buy it asshole" sales pitch.

    That August Itch

    That's part of it I'm sure. Also I start my ski season workout regimen in early July and start feeling the positive effects a few weeks later. Making my creaky old body feel strong gets those endorphins pumping.

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    California is screwed. Same reservoir that was too full 2 years ago and almost failed.

    That August Itch

    Skiing dreams started last night. They always start end July early August. Amazing how the mind works.

    The New Normal

    Sorry, I'm having a tough time calling any of this normal. Unless "new normal" means abnormal.

    Fish Tales

    7/31-Back to the EB. Moved around a lot and did some trolling and while I did boat a few nice white perch I was disappointed I caught no bass. Got to the little island at prime time (7-8pm). Immediately boated 2 pig smallmouths. I was alternating between a jointed shad rap and a 5" senko. Got to...

    That's a restomod...it's definitely a late model corvette with 1962 corvette body panels.

    Fish Tales

    I've fished the Oswego river. It was years ago and we spectated at the areas where folks were snagging salmon with weighted treble hooks. We watched a few people miss fish and snag other people. Seemed dumb to me. We fished the old fashioned way and spent 2 days figuring out how to hook and...

    RIP John "Louie" Ehrensbeck

    RIP. I believe he worked at Stowe decades ago working out of the old Spruce Peak lodge. One of my first childhood memories of skiing was going into the Spruce lodge and smelling the hot wax at the tuning shop. I love that smell. So I was pretty shocked the first time I went to McCauley and...

    RIP John "Louie" Ehrensbeck

    Is this the gentleman who tuned skis at McCauley? Did he at one time work at Stowe?
