Whitetail president's day weekend

Went to Whitetail.  The boarding was pretty good, best I have done.  We started out with a green.  then quickly decided the blue hill was for us.  The top of some of the trail was very rough full of moguls.  Then The First Black Diamond...rode!  It was very warm 50+.  As the day went on the mud and rocks started to show through. This picture is of the green hill from the blue hill. 

You can see the mud peaking through.

Update on the XBOX.  The Graphics card seems to have failed.  I got a refurbished one and a 2 year warranty.  The good news is it was an older model which took my hard drive and it has HDMI output to help streamline the wiring.  I probably need to get a new hard drive for reliability, but its ok for now.

February post

Had a bunch of work issues in the beginning of the month.  Went on a mountain getaway to West Virginia.  I was cold windy and snowy.  Only got to hit the mountain one day as opposed to the planned two due to the single digit temps.  This real problem was that the house was situated near the top of a mountain on the steepest road I have ever been on.  Oh and it was snow covered and ice underneath.  It was a set of 180 degree switch backs that were on inclines.  I should have made a commercial for the Lexus GX470.  It was a challenge coming up and going down.  If my new insurance company knew what was going on they would raise my rate back to Nationwide rates.  But we made it.  We had a great time, nice house and when the weather broke Sunday night the views were unbeatable.  I hope the whole group had fun, much food was eaten and much liquor was drunk.  I also won the semi annual Boggle challenge (my studying paid off).

On a less happy note my XBOX 360 has come to the end of its life.  This was a original launch unit that I don't know if it got the red ring of death service, but it is not looking so good this time.
