And now as I try to post this through my regular newsreader, I find
that
Comcast seems to have dropped RSA and RSAM from its list of
newsgroups.
WTF? That only adds to me general annoyance with the lack of snow.
I
can still download and read but I cannot reply -- it tells me that
no
such groups exist. Odd.


Hmmmm. I use comcast and I still have them.

(yeah, just a lot of bitching, I know but a lack of snow makes that seem
reasonable)

Thinking snow (and drinking martinis)

I am using Comcast and have no problems. It may be your web browser, I can
not access any newsgroup on my laptop.

If I'm out wirelessly I don't get them through my account on OE.
Maybe that's what he means.

Canada's long range predictions)

God -- I rode my Mtn bike yesterday.

I know that some of you have extra snow.

Please send it this way as I cannot sacrifice any more martinis per
night than I am now.

Maybe all I needed to do was bitch a little more.

It was snowing 1"+ an hours for the first four hours of yesterday at
the local ski hill.

It is snowing a little bit in town today. My bike is hung up again.

I have my reservations for three nights at Red Mountain next week.

I decided to upgrade to Agent as the main newsreader.

Comcast seems to have found the newsgroups again.

My martini was excellent yesterday evening -- better because it was
actually snowing on the hill.

Has anyone been to Red Mtn this year? It looks like, other than some
condo development, that it is pretty much thesame as last year. IOW,
the massive development psot sale has yet to begin? I did notice that
they put in a "magic carpet" for the kiddies and it looks like they
are counting that as one of the lifts I hope it services some of
the trees off the Paradise side.

Yep, I think you should whine some more. It seems to be pretty
effective. Mt. Spokane was pretty good on Sunday and we are headed up
to either Red or Whitewater for next weekend, as well. I like Red, but
if we stay in Nelson there is more to keep the Mrs. entertained if she
decides not to ski for one of the days.

Ping me off-line if you'd like to get together either on or off the mtn.

They're probably blocking access from outside their network. Verizon
does the same thing. If you still want access from the road, and you
have a 2nd PC at home, you can set up port forwarding with ssh. That's
what I have to do to access my news server from work.

I have slowed the whine down a little bit.

Schweitzer is over 100" all of a sudden and Red is close to that also.

We haven't been to Whitewater is a few years. Should probably put that
on the list.

We are going up to Red tomorrow (Friday) and will ski Friday, Sat,
Sunday. Can't remember where we are staying but it is one of their
famous "ski-in walk-out" places. If you are going to be up at Red it
would cool to hook up for a beer or something with another Spokane/
RSAM local. I don't think that they have changed to lodge up there yet
so it should still be a dark hole with mediocre beer -- just what I
need after a day of skiing those trees off Paradise.

Let me know.

I'll send this off group also.

I was up at Red as well Friday-Sunday and left on Monday and stayed in the
Red Rob condos there with Red Property Management. Did we run into each
other? I was there with my family from Kentucky. BTW, I thought conditions
were great Friday/Saturday with Sunday being great up on Granite but a
little icy and chunky on the bottom - eg. cat track area of Long Squaw.

Have a good one.

Well, we probably did run into each other then since we were at the
Red Rob condos also. I spoke with someone who had a vaguly southern
drawl that must have beenn you. We were on the left side of the
building as you went in -- number 8, I think.

The snow was really good on the Paradise chair and the visibility on
Saturday was a lot better over there. Once it froze on Saturday night,
I ventured down from that side only for food and beer -- and to go
home.

They haven't gotten much in the past weeks so we have been skiing
closer to home but we'll probably get back up there before the end of
the month. I don't suppose that you'll be back, eh?
