If you're willing to travel we had a Thursday ride going for a few years at Sunapee NH. Not sure if it will get going again but there were some great riders willing to help (not me I just benefited from the advice). Paul

I'd go $225 if you can throw in some Burton stickers to Un-Gay it a little. Is the bottom as bad as the top? Paul

C'mon TT ya gotta' give us more than that...

I have a 164 I don't use much. Might have 5 or 10 days on it. I don't have pics It's at my camp at Sunapee right now. Paul

What size? If they are the smaller ones I'll take them. Paypal ? Thanks, Paul

That's funny I was thinkin' the same thing. Possibly the rest of the world isn't the problem.

That does not look like a Catek heel reciever. The reciever looks bent too. If that is the case bolting a bent steel plate to the aluminum could have stressed the base. Just an observation I could be way off. Paul

Hey JD I think Bob Jenney and Ben Sherman ride there. I know one of the guys Ben works with does. Paul

bobdea yeah, NH gets you and gets you good where you least expect it. there's a ton of fees for anything you need to get done in NH. pain in the ass. Really? I lived 20 years in MA, move to NH 18 years ago and disagree. What fees are you talking about?

Thanks EZE heading up this morning.

Hey what's it look like out there EZE? Thinkin' I may be "sick" tomorrow. One last weekday.:D Paul

EZE you bailed just in time today. We were there Fri,Sat and Sun GREAT conditions all 3 days but $hit they were in the 3rd lot all weekend. Sorry I missed you to take a run. Paul

Early season there is empty on the weekends. Now the crowds will start on the weekends. So far they haven't half filled the second lot and the bowl has been empty... You just have to get first chair and plan an early escape, it takes the turists until 10:30 or later to get out of the lodge. Paul

I thought I saw you getting on the North Peak chair. We were over on the bottom of Goose using the park chair. The wife was on the alpine board so we spent some time over there. Great day. I'll try to catch up with you this weekend. Paul

Hey I saw you from the lift a couple Sundays ago and never cought you. Were you there Christmas morning? Great day and the lift didn't explode this year ++. I'll be there this weekend hope to get up Friday but don't think I'll make first chair. I had Cataract all to my self a couple runs:biggthump. We were blocked last week so I can't wait to get back up. Paul

Ok here is one my wife and I laugh about every time we go snowboarding. At ECES of 08 there were a couple of rainy days. I had the same North Face jacket for 10+ years I paid $125 at Sierra Trading post for it (total cost less than $12 per yeaar). I love that jacket but the wife thought it was time to retire it. So one of the rainy days we left the Mt. early and headed to The Shed... Now I may have had a couple IPA's... and we decided since it was near the end of the season to go get me a new coat. Well I found one I liked on the 50% off rack but it was a little more than I wanted to spend, I mean 50% off the $675 price tag ($337 or $17 per year if I keep it for 20 years) was over the top for me, since I don't spend that on clothes in a year, but it may have been the IPA talking or the wife pushing me to the regiter. I hand the lady the coat on the custom Kjus hanger, you know they give you that hanger when you buy the coat, and she rings it up. I learned several things that day... don't sign until you look at the total... don't shop in Stowe after drinking lunch at The Shed and don't assume the price on the tag isn't the marked down price. So if I keep this coat until I'm 93 it will only cost me $13.50 per year. Feel free to laugh at me at ECES this year but I won't be shopping a Stratton. Paul

Not bad, ticket is paid for, time to grab the rock board.:D

Saturday... like the 6th... in a couple days? What looks covered? Paul

Hey Dave good to see you back. Hope the health problems are not serious. Paul

If you end up at Sunapee stay at the Back side Inn... yes that is the real name. They have the best food in the area. The couple that own it are real good people. It is 5 miles from the Mt. you can see the back of the Mt from the front deck. Almost Time EZE! Did you pick up your pass yet? Paul

Now that is Diversity! Where is that pic from? Paul

It's too bad this didn't start a few weeks earlier. There was a very good class up in Augusta ME on the 17th put on as an action pistol/IDPA event with a compatition on the 18th if you wanted to.

It's funny (OK not funny more sick) a few years ago you never saw any home invasions or armed roberies on the local NH news now there is one or more stories a day. I blame the violent video games! DOWN WITH WII

Killing is a "banned" word now days in "shooting sports". I haven't shot at anything with a pulse in a long time, nothing against it I just don't. It gives the Anti- something to point at. So since what we do is pretend when we shoot at paper I have a question for you Jack. Here is the scenario. (that is what we call it so we don't feel so stupid shooting $50 worth of ammo into a pile of dirt). You wake up at 2 A.M. to Lassie barking from her crate. She doesn't bark if one of the kids gets up to go potty so yo get up to check. You grab your (now here is where I read the rest of your questions) loaded AR (I'll use the one from your first pic only we'll make it a Bushmaster Made right up the road in ME and we'll put a flashlight on it...good for home defense). It has a round chambered and the safety is off, you step into the hallway hit the pulse button on the light and see Lassie is right. There is a guy with a blue bandanna and three teardrop tattoos 22 feet down the hall. You bring the locked and loaded weapon to the fire position and I'll assume you are a right hand shooter, close your left eye and point it at his chest. Remembering that your POA/POI is off because he is so close. You hear a loud noise and the door to your left flies open right next to him. In the next split second you need to decide if it s his partner with a gun, the wind, your 6 year old. Remember you are locked,loaded,off safe and on target... I think my way is safer.:D God I love Kennedy jokes!

"I'm confused. If it only has one purpose, how can it be used for sport?" In every shooting sport the gun does the same thing, it destroys the target. "I think if you can't trust yourself to control your weapon, you shouldn't have one." To use a Jackism on this. The next time you go to the track you should leave your leathers and helmet at home. If you don't trust you ability to ride a motorcycle you shouldn't have one. "Am I the only one to whom the post above seems like a pretentious non-answer? Let me try:" Were those answers simple enough for you? Paul
