Glad you had a good time Tom! I'll have to go skiing some day, I've only ever been once.
Side note, took the truck for a nice yesterday after fixing the caliper, the alignment that the shop did for me a few months back is spot on, no pull in any direction, even on the highway!

Utility pole: 1 Ford focus: 0
Wish it hadn't been so dark there was a 20' swath of car parts after it hit the pole that included the grill, both headlights, Power steering reservoir, and unidentified bits of smashed plastic.

Morning
Andy, Harlem Globetrotters haven't seen them in years. A real treat for the kids.
Snow tomorrow. 2 to 5 inches in the afternoon. Nice start to Spring. It will melt fast, angle of the sun and all that science stuff.
Taking one of the dogs in to the vet. She got into something and has had a reaction. Beginning of the week swollen face so I gave her Benadryl. Swelling went down, then as the week progressed stopped eating and started upchucking. So I got to find out what's going on.

Got the car today and was pretty excited about it.
I almost made it home with it. Noticed a clicking noise at low speed when turning. Thought CV joint, but found a TSB online that suggested this noise was commonly fixed by applying grease to the front struts. Brought it by the dealer and they had it on a lift in minutes. Tried the TSB fix and no luck, turns out the driver's side axle is shot. CV boot was torn and grease everywhere. Pretty nice for 35,300 miles.
2 out of my 3 vehicles down for the count. At least they gave me a nice loaner.

Tom keep your luck away from my luck 
Assorted plastic bits is all I see along the main roads now that the massive snowbanks have melted and all the carnage-evidence is emerging.
In case anyone was wondering: poplar is the worst possible wood to turn on a lathe. I got it all for free, and it's not worth it at all.
