since it's winter and all I'll post a winter pic.  Here's my buddies 15 year old son who has been training with us on the trail since he was 7.  He's a stock car racer that races half of the races in a season, wins about half of those races he races in.  He's the kind of guy that can spin out, end up in last then catch up and win the race.  He can thank me later for the skills he learned from me =)

This pic wasn't staged.  I rolled up, he bouncing around so i whipped out the camera and clicked.  He didn't even know I was taking pictures.  I didn't even have time to properly focus as you see the foreground is in focus.  Much more to come in the spring.  We had to use the shovel alot on this day.

Very nice. I loved riding the sled my uncle had.

I had a feeling you'd enjoy the hat. It's so warm, I love it. It's been getting a lot of use lately as it really hasn't stopped snowing for the last week, and doesn't look like it's going to anytime soon.

I want to go sledding again sometime soon, but the odds of that are slim.

Fox fur?  I bet that cost a pretty penny?  I'm content with cheap old rabit fur myself.

On a side note I got a blanket for christmas from my father made of deer pelts, which he obtained from one of his clients and rifle club members who is an avid deer hunter.  Talk about a badass blanket!

Aftermath of the ice storm in
December. There's about 3/4" of ice on everything, and at about 2:00 I woke
up to an exploding transformer and stayed up because of continuous
crashing of trees falling over and large branches breaking off and bouncing
off the roof. 

EDIT: Damn everything, i'll fix it later
