Are you a sledder Dean? If so, that 500 pound deadlift will help to get unstuck in that mountain powder!

Thanks! Yeah, I saw that Wolf Creek is opening weekends starting tomorrow! I just bought a new Capita Mercury and I’m itching to test that thing out! Dude, snowboard season is the best season. You got the skins on your rock skis?

[deant]

@Skid Maybe a 500lb tree will fall, block my path and need to be moved...it could happen! . Oh man, I got stuck in a creek and it took me over an hour to get out on a 42” weekend a couple years ago. Ugh...rough!

Permit me a dad brag moment. My sons both play HS soccer (16 years old) and they connected last night. The older (by 1 hour) took a corner kick and connected with his brother who headed it home with some serious velocity. My younger son (who scored) is 6'1" tall and he out jumped a pair of 6'4" defenders to get that header and redirect it into the top right corner. Amazing play...best goal of the season. My younger son's first high school soccer goal (he plays center back and rarely gets to go up for corners). I'm still over the moon about that moment.

Have a great day and thanks for enduring my dad brag!

That's awesome for you and your sons, Dean! Congrats!! Proud Papa moments are great.

Results were good, but I feel a bit like dog poop. Glad this one is over. That said, it is the weekend people...let's party! In teen dad terms, this means struggle to stay up until 10:30pm when the kids get home from the football game and then drag my sorry butt to bed.

Enjoy the weekend!
