Neighbor’s Blueberry patch with Poplars in the background.

A Friday opening eliminates a lot of people who can’t get off of work. Only the most dedicated people will be out so the gaper to expert ratio will be lower. Yeah it’s Pa. so we’ll be lucky to be skiing by Christmas.

Super, I bought a restricted pass. Makes sense for a soft opening to work the bugs out rather than a weekend shit show where novices mix in the WROD

What date are they shooting for?

I was never good at deciphering song lyrics. I like some of his songs.

Pass

Well there are some exceptions 1/22/16

Except when it’s freezing rain.

Leaf peeping before the rain and wind.

Were they autographed?

I dropped mine off last week when I dropped off kids boots for the sale. Picked them up yesterday. They did a decent job.

My buddies call that condition “Swamp Ass” Been a bad summer for that. Glad it’s over! Stoked for winter but not too soon. October snow seems to be a bad omen.

Speaking of skis my new “Old “ skis showed up yesterday. I found another pair of 2007 Rossi B2’s They were in someone’s closet and only used twice! Absolutely pristine except for a small base scratch. Some ptex and a base grind and good to go. This will be my third pair. I snapped the first pair in half bailing on a bump line when someone cut in front of me at Blue years ago. A very deep icy mogul trough . I hate buying a new unfamiliar ski because on occasion I’m disappointed. I’ve bought a lot of ski’s over the years. My dissatisfaction percentage is maybe 20% So I’ve been hunting down a model that skis well for me. When does Blue open their shop?

Paw paw . I was at a customers home and noticed he had a pretty diverse garden. I noticed a paw paw tree and started a conversation about them as I recently came across a YouTube video. I had heard that they were indigenous to Pa. but have never come across any in all my years running around the woods. He gave me a few and I must say they are really tasty, almost a tropical vibe, surprisingly like bananas and mango.

Got another late invite but couldn’t make this one. One of these days I’ll get there. Sounds like you guys had a good time. 👍

Thanks for the flashback. I grew up in the west end of Allentown not far from Wehrs dam. . Downstream a quarter mile was a massive sycamore tree probably 5’ in diameter. After a big storm It fell across the river. It was so massive that the river undercut the trunk and created a 10’ deep hole. The roots were about 12’ above the water. It was a freaking natural swimming hole. Had a couple good months of it till the powers that be decided it was too dangerous. They cut the trunk and the stump went back to where it started.

What’s in Tamaqua ?

Nice! I had an invite but couldn’t make it. Next month!

Going to be an interesting evening.

My oldest is in Tucson. Not as bad as Phoenix. But still who’s idea was it to build a city in the Desert?

I don’t smoke and I prefer Canada doesn’t pollute my safe space with smoke. It’s the East Coast, It always rains.

Would be nice if Canada gets some. Raining from the St Lawerence to Myrtle Beach
