Rule #1

Never try to keep up with your cousin who's already skied 87 days this
season.

I did something a little crazy yesterday: I set my alarm for 4:00am, got
up and drove up to Big White to get at least one day this year with my
cousin, who has very happily "retired" for a couple of years and his
snow-hosting there.

Great day. Blue skies, sunshine, cold and dry enough in the morning for
the fresh snow to still be fresh and then an afternoon of high-speed
cruising, but...

....man does Keith have legs on him. I give thanks for the one guy we had
to add to the group at 1:30 so that Keith could do his snow-hosting
thing, because it slowed the pace for the afternoon. Without him, my
legs would have fallen off.

Then Coronas and a hot tub.

An excellent way to spend a Saturday.

I bow to you. I spent Saturday installing a laundry sink in my
laundry room. I shall be able to clean my ski boots in style.


I shall raise a flagon of mead to you in the Mead Hall.

My minions did the plumbing. I gave the orders, and used my magic
plastic card to pay for everything.

I'm teaching leadership here, and a leader takes charge of a project.
And a leader pays his own way, he doesn't ask for, "freebies." But he
does plunder the ATM at the refueling station.

Don't **** me off or my minions will find where you live.

And vote for Palin-Ahhnold in 2012.

Rule number one is to avoid responding to the petty jibes of "truly
gifted
troublemakers"

Rule number two is the adult diaper. Could someone is Jackson Hole
please duct tape one over Jeff's head until he gets a goddamned clue
what life is about?

How many days did you ski this year, Jeff?

No Level II?

Nope. What of it?

No
instructor days this winter?

Lots, thanks.

Yes. You're an idiot.

I don't have a Level II because I didn't take the course.

I offered you a FREE Level I Avalanche course from the American Avalanche
Institute. Since I am Level III Mountain Guide Certified by the American
Avalanche Institute, I offered this opportunity to you as an olive branch,
and a chance to learn how to ski deep, uncontroled powder safely. You
declined with a snark, and promptly exceeded your skiing skills and tore
up your knee.

That was LAST year dude. You had the rest of that ski season, and Spring,
Summer, and Fall to rehab your knee before this season. And this season is
still going strong in the Chugach, so it ain't over yet.

Yet again, you fail, rationalize, and justify your incompetence. You had
every opportunity to meet Abraham at Whistler, and FAILED. You had an
opportunity to become Level I Avalanche Certified for FREE, and FAILED.
You had an opportunity to take your Level II instructor exam, and FAILED
in the worst way. You didn't even try. You QUIT! **** off loser. In
Jackson Hole, ACL's are optional. Hell, a Russki gal raced in the World Cup
for 9 season's without one.
