A mature white pine drops a huge amount of needles in the fall.

My place is all mature oak trees that I have to clean up after many times every fall. I have two hand held blowers and a 5 horse walk behind blower. I am lucky in that my property slopes to the creek and the prevailing western wind blows toward the creek. Blowers weren't an option when I was young, we used to rake every thing. I still have a home made wooden rake that is 6 feet wide with 12 inch tines and a 7 foot handle that I can move large hip deep piles with. Back then we could burn so we made a long pile in the driveway that circles my house and burned them. Now burning is not allowed. which I am ok with because I burned once or twice as an adult and was in fear of all the glowing embers flying into the air threatening to land on the roof. I have a system of using blue tarps and an ATV with a trailer to put them in the creek for right around my house, takes about 3 hours. On the lower half of the property I can blow all of the leaves directly into the creek which takes another 3 hours. I always end up doing large parts of three neighbors properties because their leaves end up on my place anyway.

makes sense just feels weird

I guess I am getting old because I would totally worry about identity theft using my phone to pay. It took ma a long time to get comfortable with direct deposit, I was the last hold out at work, they had to threaten writing me up before I switched over.

Sitting on a fat wallet is bad for your back as it causes your hips to to tilt, forcing your back into misalignment.

With a little desk in it?

been to stratton a few times and enjoyed each trip, park at the sun lodge, try to stay away from the trail that goes under the covered bridge.

If I was going to do a cruise, a European river cruise would be the one for me.

I have owned several Toyotas, four wheel and two wheel drive. Great vehicles, no complaints, and I know many people who own Toyotas, they all say the same thing, several of those people have Tacomas. My research on CVT transmissions indicates that they are good when they work but are VERY expensive to repair. Good luck with your decision.

Enjoralas that was one of the best videos of skiing blue that I have seen so far. Nice cameo by Antman. The snow conditions look much better in that video then Saturday's were. I agree with Toast, the reverse angle does make it look steeper.

switch houses when the view gets stale, nice.

Very firm and stayed that way, agree that Main was best, then lazy.

Magic Mountain is an awesome place (when it has enough snow). I hope the new owners are able to make it successful.

The snow storm at blue today added to how great march has been. Decent sized crowd today. Be back Wednesday for opening bell (or beep in the computer age).

Skied from 8:30am to 11:30am today. Beautiful bluebird day, small crowd, no problem. Most every thing was very nice, challenge was somewhat cookied up but skiable, sidewinder started with some cookies but improved as temps rose, as did all the other trails. ROTD - Razors. Really nice at blue, march has been great.

Wanted to be but I can't make it until Friday morning.

Snowed hard in Doylestown, wish I was at blue but work got in the way. I was planning to go tomorrow early a.m. but can't swing it, so I will be there Friday for first chair. Great march so far.

I skied open to 11:30am, No lines, ski on ski off the entire time. It was a little colder than you might expect for the 20th of march, quite a few people went back to their cars for more cloths. Most trails were solid and fast, no ice spots to speak of, blue is in good shape.

nice meeting you as well.

Totally agree. Thursday A.M. was as good as today with less people. Loving march.

Fear will make a person freeze up.

Hope so. He would be missing a great opportunity if not.

My wifey? Please show a little respect. Fig newtons and yogurt with the sandwich.

Not usually. Typically in my office at the facilities center, like right now.

Turkey sandwich.
