That is a nice day.

I finally went for a tour in the back 40 today. The quality is lovely and fast but it is still low tide for tree skiing up here. Skis ready: Dog ready: Am I ready? Nice snow but still low tide. My pole basket is bottomed out. The dog poached my line at Secret Hill. But I managed...

Chargers on!

I'm trying a new angle! :cool:

The chair is crooked? Relative to what?

Karhu Guides? Maybe replace with Voile UltraVectrorBC? $$$

Truly. That iron belonged to my grandmother and I've been using it to wax skis since I was a teenager. It's quite heavy, so moves well on the ski. Heat management is by watching for smoke, then unplugging it. Holds heat for a long time. I did update the plug a few years ago, though the cord is...

I've been doing the same technique as you describe but thought maybe the 10 year old bases could use some extra love this year.

Pic from this morning, we received about 10 cm (call it six inches) more during the day. Didn't ski as I was too busy inventing new ways to get wax off skis (see Charger Love thread):

Bump for the love. TFTH Tech Talk 24/25, episode one. Hey fishscalers, don’t be afraid to wax your scales for storage or performance! With all this snow, I decided it was high time to remove the storage wax from the trusty Voile Charger BCs.. When I put paraffin on the scales, I figured that I...

Not to mention the power outages. Hydro workers are amazing humans.

For perspective, this friend lives about 40 minutes south of my house. Her yard was green grass on Thursday:

There has has been a lot a snow activity up here in the last few days. While my image below shows the collective total at SBRHQ from Friday, only 30 to 45 minutes south it is off the charts. Almost 4 feet of snow in 72 hours, major highway closed since Friday night, with trucks and cars still...

As Camp said, it burns well. Not as hot as maple or beech, so good for shoulder season burns. And so easy to split, you feel like a hero every chop.

The runaway gathering strength:

That is quite the quiver clearout. What skis do you have left?

Have you ever had to search for a runaway dog? I have a few times and last night was one of the most stressful. Moira came home last night in a police car! Long story short, she took off after a deer when we were walking off leash outside the local dog park around 5 pm yesterday. Friends and...

Sad day but she went quickly, it is a blessing I can tell you. Maybe underlying heart condition? Dogs are stoics and mask conditions that would have humans complaining and seeing their doctors. Years ago I lost a collie, he went went from perfectly normal to dead in 48 hours due to unknown lung...

Stay strong Warp, the Hinterlandians are sending out the healing vibes.

Then there is this. I had the good fortune of seeing Michael Hedges live in Toronto, what a spellbinding performer, RIP. Even the two minutes of string changing is worth watching:
