Ski Day #6: Loon!
Well Sunday was another ski day. Went to Loon on the bus. We ended up having bus issues (bad alternator) which left us sitting in North Attleborough for 45 minutes. The drive up wasn’t too pretty as the roads were a icy mess. We saw about 5 accidents in total. The skiing was OK. I’m…

Moon shots
During the packer’s game, I went out on the deck at halftime to shoot the moon. I figured it would be fun to share the shots with everyone. The last shot was taken last night (Monday night) when the moon was only one day from being full.

Packers are out, Patriots in!
I have 2 football teams I’m a fan of. I’m a born and raised Packers fan because Dad is from Green Bay… Really no option there. I got into football in high school when moved to RI. So I’m also a Patriots fan, and Dad and I even had seasons tickets one year which was…

Ski Day #5, Sunday River!
Went on another bus trip Saturday. As mentioned before, I escort for New England Action Sports. It’s the only way to go skiing really… Enough advertising though, we went to Sunday River in ME on Saturday. The also had a meltdown 2 weeks ago, but they had had enough time to make some snow, groom…

Baby Update:
Had yet another baby checkup yesterday. Everything is going as scheduled. Nikki’s up another 2lbs in 2 weeks which is on track. The babies heart rate was 140 which is also normal. Nikki and I both have head colds though. It was nice to be able to go to the doctor and ask him what…

Sick & Snow day.
Well unfortunately Nikki came down with a bit of a cold Friday. Being pregnant means she can’t take anything for it, so she’s been fighting through a sinus cold w/o any sort of decongestant. She woke up today in no shape to go to work, so she stayed home sick. It also happened to snow…

Baby Shower!!!
Well we had our baby shower this weekend. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Debbie (Nikki’s Mom if somehow you’re reading this and don’t know) and Katie (Nikki’s best friend from forever!) and the 3 Aunts, Pat, Tina and Ansoo for putting this together. All I’m taking any credit for at all is taking…

Okemo Again!
Another weekend, another trip. This time to Okemo. The weather took a decided turn for the worse over the past week. When we were at Stowe the week before the mountain hosts told us they were expecting rain and warm temps the next week. Well arriving at Okemo Saturday proved them right. Apparently it had…

Mt View Accident!!!
Coming home from work Friday night there was a pretty bad accident on the way into our neighborhood. Click this link to see where. Apparently there were 2 pick up trucks trying to go around that corner at the same time and neither one liked where the yellow lines were… One truck that seemed to…

New Lens: Canon 300mm f4 IS L
Picked up a canon 300mm L this week. The 300mm is to give me the reach I need w/o using a TC with my 70-200mm I’m also toying with the idea of going all primes, so this is my first step in that direction. It was between the 300mm and the 100-400 zoom, but the…

Leica D-Lux 3
I finally picked up a P&S camera that “doesn’t suck”. I use quotes because I’m not sure yet. I’ve had a few P&S digital cameras in the past and I’ve hated them all to the point that they rarely get used. So what good are they then? My criteria for the new P&S were as…

New Lens: Canon 24mm TS-E.
I also Picked up a canon 24mm TS-E this week. The 24mm TS-E is to complete my TS-E collection. These are odd slow lenses to work with but I love them. They’re reminiscent of working with a 4×5 camera for me. I love the mechanical nature of them. I also tend to get fewer but…

Stowe again!
Another weekend, another bus trip. This time to Stowe again. Incredible conditions. They’ve had 165″ of snow so far this winter. Unfortunately it’s warm there this week, and supposedly raining today, but the 2 times I’ve been there this year it’s been like western conditions. The terrain at Stowe is also awesome, I just wish…

Texas Road House!!!
Nikki and I both had a long hectic day. We had another baby appointment in Providence at 3:45pm. The problem with that is they’re ALWAYS an hour late. Sure enough we walked out right at 5pm. On top of that my car is getting it’s 100k service done to it a Yarrowsport, so Nikki had…
