Wow, man that's cold Mike. I have to hand it to you, I couldn't ever stand that kind of adverse weather.
Alcohol, movies and music would most definitely be my normal routine during your winters ... or summers.

Uh Rick, I drink like a fish, have a two channel system and a separate HT system. I used to be quite content with my dirt bike and bruises till I moved here. They just pay me too damn much to leave, although I did get a recent offer to manage a major project in Saudi. Tempting…….not!

Hey Mike speaking of the dirt bikes, my son is putting a 500 kit in his 450 ... says he'll probably never have to get it out of second gear regardless of the track.
Now that most of the work is finished on the house and I *finally* have the garage cleaned out (to a T!) and can now find my old bike I'm contemplating jumping back on it for some much needed physical activity ... we went out this past weekend and rode quite a bit, spent some time on my sons 450 and I've been sore all week. Damn it sucks getting old and fat!
Dude, stay out of Saudi ... I have a friend who's flying cargo over there and is about to go nuts although he's making killer money.

My wife and I went to Emerald Lake BC for our 1 year anniversary... It was quite georgous there, it snowed all weekend, must have been 1 1/2 feet. To anyone looking to go, it is an amazing experience, they don't have any TVs in the rooms, and only a wood burning fire place. THey want you to get away from life and force you to do, er, "other things" . The food is very expensive though!

Well, we managed very well without a TV . And we also brought a laptop and rented 5 movies. Its recommended to bring a laptop or something, as well as longs of board games. It was a great time playing board games and taking walks.

Those are some really awesome pics. It makes me feel like I stepped through a wardrobe, and transported to Narnia.

Ya, Emerald Lake is quite something else, just going there makes you feel relaxed. We were there for 3 nights, probably 1 night too many, by the third night I was wanting to go back to the city because of lack of activities. In the summer there are more hiking trails and such to do, not in the winter though. Some more for your eyes since you guys liked the other ones! This is what they call the "Natural Bridge". In the summer they set up a bridge across the waterfall so you can walk right over it. It was closed    Just a bench I saw on the other side of the lake, the landscape was brilliant so I decided to try to take an "artistic" picture
