I thought maybe you got hit by a late season storm. Even the ski resorts in the mountains are usually closed by now.

Nah. That will melt... in a month or so...  I do not think he has the joy of shoveling snow in North Carolina. But he could get out there and spruce up the yard. That will help with the WAF. Couple of points.....it has been between 85 and 90 degrees here since Friday - so luckily we have had no snow issues. Second, I am way ahead of you on sprucing and manuvering. I purchased vintage metal lawn furniture that was manufactured in the 50's and 60's last year for her birthday (she had mentioned it in passing and I picked up on it). I took this past Friday off and took it to this local place that will bake the caked on paint off, sandblast the rust and then powder coat it with the color of your choice - all for this year's birthday. As I was "basking" in the approval glow, I ordered the Epic 60 - not bad if I do say so myself

Not bad at all. (she had mentioned it in passing and I picked up on it) Kudos to you for picking up on that. You do realise though that this will be held against you when you apply for your Mancard Platinum.

Most of the mountain ski resorts stay open till may long weekend, but we have been getting 1-2" of snow just about every other day lately.

In the 5 winters I spent out there (a long time ago), only Sunshine was open past the middle of April. Norkway was the first to close and Lake Louise had a lot of mud/gravel at the bottom by mid April. The only good skiing was the sumit and some out of bounds runs you needed to climb up to.

Argon, Don't listen to Fred (God knows we don't  ) . 'Real men' pick up on their wife's nuances (and other crap like that). And as you experienced, occasionally it can be a positive thing! Another one is learning to 'duck' at just the right time! PS. Fred, my mancard gets a demerit. I never plugged the M60 in as a center.

You're right Fred, I just heard Louise is shutting down this weekend, and Norquay was 2 weeks ago(I think), leaving Sunshine the only one left till the long weekend. I must have mis-understood the Snow report I heard the other day.
