Ken, My wife makes an easy "blender" Pesto (basil) sauce and then freezes for use on pasta or as the killer pizza sauce. We change up our toppings for Pesto pizza to include items such as: Sun dried tomatoes (put below cheese) Roasted garlic Shirmp Thinly sliced red onion (on top) Cooked bacon or real bacon bits Top off with fresh grated parmasean For red sauce we buy a big can from Costco - Dei Fratellia http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/40243/dei_fratelli_italian_style_pizza_sauce.html

It amazes me when I leave at or before noon of all the people just arriving. I usually have the main run pretty well trenched up after the first hour? On the weekends I am usually on the first chair up.

Yesterday I smoked an 8 lb brisket, 1 lb of Italian sausage and 1 lb of wild salmon. All done on a charcoal fired Weber Bullet. Good eats!!!

I wrenched my back one year during SES which I believe was due to riding at lower angles ~ 50/45 and over-rotating my heel turns. I usually ride 65/62 and with this set-up I do not experience lower back pain.

Minted Jan 2006 and in very good condition. Top sheet had a small nick from another board stricking it while on a chair which nicked off a small piece of the top sheet; roughly 1/8" x 1". I sealed the void with white caulk (see photo). Side edges polished to 2* and base is at 1* SB250 Core and built for a 200 lb. rider $430 shipped lower 48 via US Mail - Bindings are not part of this offer. Jan 31 - This board is SOLD.

I believe this is a 2004/2005 model and is in very good condition. Ground once in Jan 2006 and has no major dinks on top side or edges. Base has a few very minor hair line marks; not gouged. Side bevel polished to 2 degree and the base edge is 1 degree. Waxed and ready to go. 10.5 SCR $360 shipped to lower 48 via US Mail.

Couldn't let this one go un-announced. Welcome! IMO, the best Warren Miller films featured you!

If others would remove their liners when they break for lunch they might be surprised. Former 324's, snow used to enter near the tongue hinge and around the ankle flex points. Current Suzukas, snow is getting just a bit around the flex or interface points. I noticed there is snow under the clear screw cap on the ankle pivot point of my rear boot (heel side). BOOT GLOVES - have em but no longer use them as I blew out two times on the first turn. Extra material can interfere and give a false positive feeling to being locked in with step-ins.

Most Helmets are designed for a single impact, could be time to replace or have the mfg inspect. I did a similar heel side smack back in 1999 with a hard shell Leedom lid. I could not detect any damage but Leedom said the impact was so hard it fractured the styrofoam at the point of impact and the reprocussion fractured the front. The cost to rebuild was $30 + shipping. When to Replace a Helmet A helmet will generally last 2-3 years under ideal conditions. However, a hard fall or other impact can render your helmet useless. Frequently inspect your helmet for cracks, dents, imprints, etc. Don't take risks. When in doubt, replace your helmet to save your noggin.

Hey Ike - Jan 2nd p.m. was a blamy 7* degrees. Should have spring conditions tomorrow. Study hard Sky Pilot!!
