20120222 - Ski Scare

20120222 - Up in the am and at the desk all day. Boiled down some sap during the day in between calls. Headed to Mad River for the last night of skiing with D's school. Going up the lift the first time I noticed a mass of Ski Patrol around someone. I frantically looked for D and was relieved to see him on the lift a couple seats up. We skied down a couple of times and then I was called over to help out. It was a girl from D's class that had fallen off the ski lift :-o I stood by to drive the girl's sister to the hospital as she was Med-Flighted out to Children's Hospital. But her folks wanted her to stay there. I made a couple more runs, but the snow was too slushy and not safe for an old man so I hit the lodge and hung out with the other advisors. Drove back to town, got Howdy and some groceries. Home updating blog.

20120221 - UP and L working all day.  J&I to the tax lady's where J played with her dog, D&G home making videos.  J&I got lunch on the way home and then we all cleaned up garage.  We ate and then went to the hobby store with the Mallon's to get some goodies.  We stopped by Army Surplus World, the gun store and driving around looking for firebricks, with two sleepers (J&G).  Once we got home we tried to get our purchases working...  L home and I loaded the fam up for a trip to Schmidt's Sausage Haus for dinner.  It was good, but L&J didn't eat much, they are not feeling well...  Back home and everyone cleaned up watching a bit of OSU basketball, and then off to bed.  Exhausted and sore, to bed myself.

20120213 - Jumper

20120213 - Up to a SLOW start today. At the desk until time to bail out and hard to Mad River. I used some newer rental skis tonight and they are so much easier to control (may have to upgrade...). I met up with another dad tonight and we followed the boys around. Eventually we talked the boy into trying some jump and they had fun.

Home and then heading to BibleBangers,

20120206 - Slopes and Slice

20120206 - up and at the desk all day. L&G into J's school for a 100th day of school fashion show. J had 100 safety pins on his shirt in the shape of 100.  L&G back home with Sam & Lena.

After work I headed to Mad River to ski with D and his school. I got a free pass tonight so that was good. What a nice night to ski.
 
But the snow was all man mad and icy... I had on spill, which in itself was not bad, but the kid on the snowboard that crashed up hill didn't stop...

He slammed into me, broke my pole and sliced my arm...
I took a couple more runs then hit the lodge and found some ice. Heading to Bible Bangers after this.

20120115 - Skiing

20120115 - All up and out to church. Home for lunch and D's friends over for a school project. In the afternoon we loaded up and headed North, with a quick trip to the Home Depot to check out toilets. We ended up at Snow trails in Mansfield for some skiing. Gma&paW came out to watch as LJ&G learned how to ski.

D did really good and J&G got the hang of it right after I took away their poles. L: well let's just say she tried... Everyone had a good time and after 4 hours of cold and trips down the hill we headed home with some TIRED boys and a bruised mom. What a BLAST!

20120109 - Slopes

20120109 - Up and definitely a Monday... calls and desk, at lunch ran to pick up tax stuff, pay Madison89 bank account $1, got gas. Back to the desk for rest of day WebEx. Over to D's school and then skiing with D and his classmates. It was a good time and D did real good. The only time I fell was when D and his buddy cut me off when we were getting down from the chair lift. I drove separate and had nice quiet drives. Up late watching the last college football game of the season.
