  1. Congrats -Z-! Glad the show went well!

    And Max - awesome seaside shots and tat! Looking forward to more pics when it's healed! Must spread for you both...

    We had solid rain for two days, and it seemed almost springlike. But then it snowed liked crazy all night Saturday into Sunday, and we woke up to more winter. It was lovely (if freezing) so my Roys & I went out to take some pics...

  2. xpost from Roy x Cone...

    The Roys & I had a fun weekend…

    I got together with a bunch of friends & we headed up to Huntsville for some ice climbing.

    I prefer my soft-shells for climbing, but could only fit the Roys under the hardshell bibs! Turned out to be a good thing, because conditions were really wet! Here are some pics, most of which I got off a friend's point-and-shoot.

    There was lots of wet snow - I switched over to double boots for the climb

    The Roys are pretty loose - they've stretched a lot, but I am going to hold off washing for a while yet….

  4. ranon - thanks for the awesome tour!

    roy6 - you are a nut, my friend. Love it.

    eltopo - the things you do with a camera blow me away. And I like the brown-cast ROYs!

    ROYxConexHeartOfDarkness have some fun plans for the day. Hopefully an enjoyable post in a handful of hours...

    Agreed!! Amazing stuff these last few days - wonderful pics, folks! TG - glad you are back up & running! :)

    Dkatz - looking forward to more of your adventures ;) I have a few trips coming up with the Roys... But just a fit pic for now ;)

    We really wanted to explore this place , but 3 security guards, and barbed wire were a deterrent, especially having the pups with us...

    Had dinner with friends at a great little Hungarian place. Tiny and kitchy lol, but the food was awesome. No pics of that - we ate so fast!!

    Now the long weekend is done… Back to work….

  6. Catching up on some slices of life…

    We had one day of false spring… Unbelievably warm - everything was melting, sidewalks were flowing with water. If it hadn't been for a very brisk wind, it would have been t-shirt weather.

    There's all kinds of construction everywhere - mostly broken water mains & hydro stuff - mud & machines…

    That evening though, temperatures dropped, and winds were hitting 65mph, knocking down phone lines and causing quite a bit of damage in some areas.

    By the morning, all that meltwater had flash frozen, and it was like a skating rink. Then we got more snow, of course!

    Did a lot of the usual stuff: hikes with the pups.
