Today I washed my ski jacket. It no longer smells like the basement, not that the basement smells bad, mind you. Quite frankly with my wood stove it smells very good. But I do not store my coat in that part of the basement, I store it in the slightly stinky part of the basement, which I'm sure all of you have. I just picked up my skies from this neighborhood guy who tunes skies out of his house. He is so good my skies looked brand new. This isn't some hippie, unkempt with candle wax, this man is legit. He has all kinds of amazing waxes and the right tools and skills to apply it. I just got my boots polished all shinny by the deaf kid who lives up the street. Just give him a few nickles and him shines them up so they look brand new. So finally I have all elements in place to enjoy my very first day of skiing tomorrow. Cant wait to see you all tomorrow.
