Which part, the driving or the sledding? We'd pull each other trying to knock each other off and this one friend of mine I couldn't get to fall off. Soooo...... I headed for a field we hadn't mowed that year that was standing with several briar patches about 2' tall and he came off then.

I don't think it would be a good idea for my big butt to get on toothpicks and slide down a hill peppy. Do they have tubes?

I would gather you didnt hit the link, your askin if they have tubes.
Yes, they do. Never seen em in person. Been four years or more since I've been there. I hear its a bit pricey....not covered under regular lift tickets.
Besides, with the new style skis.......much easier than the old tooth picks.

My buddy lived at the top of this big hill. We'd go as fast as we could up the driveway. The bumpy curvy gravel drive was more than enough to induce the required pain of a good time.

AN hour later edit.....
Man I need a beer and a pool table.
Okay...question for the group. Just from my postings, not a trick question, an honest one needing an honest answer.
From my postings, do I seem to have gotten kinda moody lately? Short? No one said anything.....
I'm just taking inventory?

Same old Pep, maybe just a little quieter as all of us seem to have been. I think you may be a little burned out Pep. Pep is running out of Pep, LOL.

I do believe that could be the case. Peps out of pep.
For months, Work has been better than home. Now home gets a little better, work is a drag. I dont think its amatter of which is better, but which is a lessor evil. Bad thing.
I know you all are aware of all my problems at home.....it seems to be gettin better everyday. Alot more talking, alot less yell, silence, yell crap. So I dont think thats the problem.
I was in a great mood all day. Hell, slept 18 hours last night/today.
Came to work tonight....Sometimes I cant believe these people are over 18 and trying to save lives.
Then half way thru my pot of coffee......everyone seemed more tolerable. No, Its not spiked coffee. Sounds good though.
I've heard of caffine dependance....mmmmm, maybe so. My headache went away too.
Think my wheels are gettin tired of spinning so hard and gettin few places.

I knew a guy who had such a dependency on coffee that he had to be under a doctor's care to stop drinking it. He would shake and shiver and be very irratible. Very bad withdrawal symptoms.

Screw that. Twenty days in a row. No way, couldnt, wouldnt, sure as hell shouldnt.
One day off a week, no less. For me thats 72 hours at least. Seven days would be 84, no less. Thats crazy.
I'd wig out and apply for the post office.

Yea, coffee can mess you up if not careful. I'm not that bad.
I was never 'needin it'. I just realized, if I'm workin six days a week, swing shifts.....thats a pot or more a day.
Not like it was a few months ago. Yesterday and today I had no soda. Therefore no temp caffine fix.
I see now it may be a slight addiction.
