Took the day off today and went skiing with my son. He didn't have school because it was some type of in service day for teachers.   Great day.   

Any pics of you guys ripping and tearing on the mountain?

No, did not take any.  I also decided to try a ski jump for the first time.  Turns out, not a great thing to try for the first time at age 45. It was ugly.  I lost a ski, a pole, and my hat.  No pain at the time - and I continued to ski for another couple of hours and had a great time.  The next day though, it felt like I had been in a minor to moderate automobile accident.  Almost back to normal today.  WISH I had a video - it was epic.

LOL.... I tried it first at age 58 snowboarding.... You'd think I'd have more sense!  :boom: fortunately on the bunny slope practice area at Sunrise... sounds like a similar outcome!  :P

Thats funny, the first and last time I tried to snowboard was at the Sunrise bunny slopes. Then a buddy talked me into trying the black slope. Long story short, I flipped down the mountain. Only broke my new board and no bones. Guess I was more flexible 23 years ago. Decided that day to stick with my skate boards in Phoenix.

Yesterday on the way home from work I saw a GT40... red with white striping... pristine!  Spent my time maneuvering around him for a good look and listening to that power plant... couldn't get a pic (darn) and had enough sense not to challenge him.  Really sweet REAL Ford GT!

Agree with the more power versions.  The car had a long history after Ford decided it wanted to beat Ferrari at it's own game.

Heres's a '69. pretty much the same body styling throughout.  The one I saw literally had this much rear rubber.
