Night Cap
For whatever reason (she’s 3), Lauren has been insisting she wear her “night cap” to bed each night. It’s not like she’s cold, though who knows, but it is very cute. Back in February when it was very cold they were both sleeping in their sleeping bags most nights. Again, not really because it was […]
SOA EOS 5
It took until end of season 5 of SOA for it to get really good. really? Why am I still watching this? – b ps. didn’t Breaking Bad end completely at this point? pps. and it was so much better.
Ice Is Done
After weeks and weeks of really cold great ice climbing weather, it broke and broke fast. Our (Craig and I) last trip was Monday night March 2nd. There was a multi-pitch gully we’d heard about in the Jim Thorpe area, but all we knew was that it was near the rail-road tracks, which meant some […]
Raymondskill Falls
Been meaning to post this for a while. Back on February 22, Paul, Craig and I headed up to the Delaware Water Gap to climb Raymondskill Falls. It’s considered a high flow (not my favorite) water fall that requires a good long cold spell to freeze enough to climb. There are three parts to it. […]
Spring Conditions, Variable
We had some free passes left for skiing, so after checking the conditions report this morning Abigail and I packed our stuff and hit the slopes. We had a blast. The snow was soft and the lift lines were non-existent. We went all over the mountain. Hit all three terrain parks. She “tried” some jumps […]
Unexpected Lesson
When following your snowshoeing 5 year old over varied terrain, you’re gonna get cold even if you are pulling your 3 year old behind you in a sled. Climbing up Cascade behind Abigail wasn’t a problem. There was a enough elevation gain to keep me working and therefor keep me warm. Descending Cascade wasn’t a […]
More Repairs
That’s the inside of our washing machine. Earlier this week it started flashing an error code. Turns out it’s the dreaded F11 error code. Spent some time on the internet. Jiggled some wires. Pulled the circuit board out. Considered resoldering stuff. In the end decided to send the circuit board off to get “repaired”. It’s […]
Sick Free Winter
I was just thinking at the beginning of the week how nice it was to get through the whole winter without getting sick. Then Wednesday it hit me. Body aches, chills, couldn’t stay awake. Thursday I stayed out of the office and worked from home. Friday I went in. Today I feel worse. No fun. […]
Family ADK 2015
Another trip to the ADK with the family. Here are some quick pics. Abigail snowshoed her way to within a half mile of the top (4098′) of Cascade Mt yesterday. Lauren lasted about 50′ before she decided the backpack was a better ride Today they both started out in the sled for the trip to […]
Most In Control Skier Award
Goes to Lauren Lu! We headed back to the mountain yesterday in another snow storm. Conditions were near perfect for experienced skiers – couple of inches of fluffy powder piling up everywhere – but a little tough for the little ones. Abigail couldn’t really practice her parallel turns in the fluff, but had fun bombing […]
