Welcome to the Canteen, who_would_fardels_bear...another curling guy.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Graceful for sure when you sail off the end of the jump.

Y’all had crazy weather today. Cloudy, sunny, cloudy, snowing like crazy, sunny ....

It’s a wide-open view from the airport to the mountains and it was a pretty sight to see the snow roll in, then the mountains played peek-a-boo through clouds for a while.

[Kevmo]

Isn’t that just beautiful?

I recommend the movie Eddie the Eagle. Inspiring true story. The guy did not win, but he got to represent his country at the olympic games and continually scored personal best distances each time. They never made a fun movie about the winners that year, only him.

[Captain Compassion]

Lovely. Thank you. The ice fishing lakes around here are tenuous because of a warm snap. But there is colder weather ahead.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, my...

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Wednesday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Kathy for filling in for Luvie for this morning's thread.

You Are Curling

What you lack in athleticism, you make up for in concentration.

And while curling isn't much more of a sport than bowling, you *can* win a gold medal for it!

You Are Skiing

Graceful, athletic, and gusty - you're willing to put it all on the line.

You're willing to take big risks for big rewards.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, spel...do you ski?

The very thought of barreling downhill with the possibility of crashing into something leaves my skis sitting there just like the picture.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, E...((HUGS))...I need to read about how one “plays” curling.

Hope you and Gizmo have good weather for today’s adventure.

[radu]

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Hey, at least with curling, you can do it inside. :-)

Did you and Gizmo have a good day for your outing yesterday?

[E.G.C.]

We had a great visit to Chisolm Trail Park yesterday. I did have to wash my jump suit after we got back because I accidently fell into the mud while we were walking the beach((LOL)).

Also, Gizmo rolled over in a few smelly spots.((LOL))

[radu]

Oopsie! LOL! I hope you didn’t get too wet when you fell into the mud. Don’t need you getting chilled and sick.

Looks like it was a beautiful day. We had clear skies at last but there was a THICK haze from what/where, we don’t know. What should have been a crisp blue sky was milky.

All the snow is gone...so it’s just COLD!

You Are Speed Skating

You're motivated, aggressive, and willing to work hard to win.
You have what it takes to be hell on skates!

Bull-hockey! I might drive fast, but I'm not motivated or
willing to work hard to win (anymore).
Been there; done that! I'm retired, remember? LOL

[left that other site]

Yep...me too...

[beachn4fun]

LOL.

Good company

;)

[caww]

I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw that!

No snow here but overcast gray skies for the last three days.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

I water-skied and was pretty good at it but snow - only on a little sled.

I remember visiting the friend of one of my sisters in New London, Connecticut in February, 1963.

There was a small hill outside of his house. It had snowed but the snow on the hill had already turned to ice. He put me on a one-person sled and let me ‘glide’ down that little hill. When I got to the sidewalk the sled immediately stopped and threw me out into the middle of the street! That was awesome! ;-)

[pabianice]

Bare ass sledding!!
