Damn!

That is some move. I was so baffled the first time that I lost track of the puck. Wow.

An update from the erstwhile housemate. He kind of buries the lede though.

Bumps at Beaver Valley

 

The Angry Beaver

I just realized that the reference below makes one of my friends sounds like an B-grade S&M porn star. Umm. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But it's actually from the Olympics and a skeleton racer named Pain, who came second to Duff! 

Nite Skiing

This whole work thing keeps getting in the way of the things I actually want to do. So, after work, the Angry Beaver and I decided to borrow the fine trails of Albion Hills and get some xc skiing in. Fortunately, the gate seemed wide open (actually, all the gates seemed inviting), so we wandered in and did a lap. Quarter moon and no clouds meant that it was bright enough to avoid using headlamps except on a couple of swervy downhills that were mostly ice. btw - the Petzl Myo is unfathomably bright, and this is coming from someone who owns 5 or 6 headlamps.

Anyway, good times all round, and now we just need more winter to try out some other fun places sans daylight.
