What are you cursing Eric?

that the straws are working as a hand mouth distraction

It will have to do for now, I am at a YMCA Ranch after all

Visited the horses today

yer gonna need a ladder

Yep

I got some cool ski pants today, they can go over my jeans for when I got to work, and when I'm playing, I wear just them or fleece leggings under them. So much easier to move around with those than it will be with bulky snow pants.

I found a light weight ski jacket too, might be a Christmas present to myself. I get a good discount on it. My parka is warm but really heavy and that makes it hard walking on the trails.

oooooh someone's on a shopping spree

I just want to be able to enjoy the outdoors and can't stand being cold. But by time I bundle up with all the layers, it's like having an extra 30 or 40 pounds on me and I have to stop half way up the hill to catch my breath.

Besides, I plan on spending more than one winter where it's cold, so may as well get good stuff.

always get the good stuffs

I haven't before and spent most of my time inside. I love being outside, so yes, getting good stuff is a wise thing to do.

Oh, and after trying on both, heck yeah....I look darn good in both the ski pants and jacket

foul i calls foul

in order to use that statement you must be judged by an impartial panel


so let's see

You'll have to wait til I get the jacket. Can't just model the pants...I'd get banned!



I plan on getting it before Saturday for when I go horse back riding.

So I have many options for when April comes along.

I can take a mini break and then return here to work at the YMCA for the summer.

Or I can work for the horse stables that contracts with the YMCA for the summer. I talked with the manager today and he said it would be no problem to get either a stable hand position or the office gal position. They provide housing as well.

I'm thinking I could have a full year of adventures moving around from place to place. After working with the horses, I could go back with the YMCA at a different location.

Guess its wide open for you now, eh?

Pretty much Stu, it's nice to have options. But it's not cast in stone, I could decide to do something entirely different.

True, nothing is ever cast in stone. You never know what other opportunities may come along.

Very true
