Desk for Sale

Posted on March, 8 at 12:24 pm | Filed Under Blogs

I have a wing-type desk for sales. It’s in really great shape. It’s in 3 pieces, so it’s easy to transport and assemble back together. I’m getting rid of it because I needed a smaller desk. There’s a tray that slides out for the keyboard. On the left side, there’s a cabinet that open along [...]

Yooper Ski Trip 2010

Posted on March, 4 at 12:00 am | Filed Under Blogs

Al and I took a trip up to the U.P. and it was great.
We hit Granite Peak (Rib Mountain in Wausau) on the way up. It was a great way to break up the trip and we got there right at 10am. There was fresh snow waiting for us and not many other skiers. We [...]

Harald Harb Ski Clinic

Posted on February, 19 at 2:00 pm | Filed Under Blogs

We had a skiing clinic last night at Cascade. He got in a little late due to traffic but I’m glad I stayed around for it. We had 2 hours with Harald Harb (http://www.harbskisystems.com/) and there were just 5 of us in the clinic, which was nice.
He mainly went over the movements required to make [...]

Skiing in India?

Posted on February, 8 at 7:06 am | Filed Under Blogs

Ok, I wasn’t skiing in India but got to teach of few people from Chennai how to ski.
Up at Cascade, we seem to get a lot of people in from the Chicago area. I ask them where they’re from and they just say Chicago instead of what actual suburb they’re in since they [...]

Guitar Center… Boo!

Posted on January, 30 at 6:12 am | Filed Under Blogs

I went to Guitar Center the other day to pick up some drum stuff. I needed a kick pedal, sticks and a throne. I enter the drum area and there’s a dude there at the counter. He’s staring at a computer and doesn’t say hello or acknowledge me at all. Ok, maybe he’s busy. I [...]

Warm Day on the Snow

Posted on January, 24 at 2:42 pm | Filed Under Blogs

I think the threat of rain scared everyone away today. It’s usually pretty busy at Cascade but today… nope. I didn’t even get any lessons but had a fun day anyway. I took a clinic with Erika in the morning, then some free skiing with Bob and Jaime C. and then lunch up at the [...]

Ski Season 2009-2010

Posted on January, 20 at 2:30 am | Filed Under Blogs

I think the season’s going well so far. I’ve taught a bunch of lessons and have just been skiing up at Cascade Mountain. We’ve had good snow but the temps have been cooler than normal. This last week and right now we’re in a break from the cold temps, which is really nice. The snow, [...]

Local Ski Lift Disaster at Devil’s Head

Posted on December, 19 at 12:00 pm | Filed Under Blogs

Yikes, you hate hearing stories like this – people getting injured using a ski lift. There was some sort of problem with the lift where people were going backwards for about 2 minutes. People were jumping off while others were somehow getting slammed into a wall or something. Three people were seriously injured and 14 [...]

How We Have Fun in Wisconsin

Posted on December, 10 at 11:30 am | Filed Under Blogs

It snows, you make the best of it. It’s kinda fun when you get a huge storm.
This isn’t me but some students down on Gilman St.
And then a big snowball fight broke out on Bascom Hill today.

Jos. A. Bank Rocks!

Posted on November, 23 at 1:18 pm | Filed Under Blogs

I’ve said it before… you get what you pay for. I’d rather spend $60 on a shirt that I know I’ll wear a lot than a $25 that I’ll only wear a few times because it doesn’t look good, feel good ir always has to be ironed. That’s why I love shirts from Jos. A. [...]

Brett Favre Coming Back to Green Bay

Posted on October, 20 at 8:54 am | Filed Under Blogs

Everyone’s looking at the November 1, 2009 date as Brett Favre and the Vikings (that’s odd to say still) are coming to Green Bay. The Packers seek to beat Favre at home after losing in Minneapolis. Every Packer fan has this date circled on their calendar. It’s the day after Halloween and it’ll be a [...]

Perpetual Motion Magnet Generator?

Posted on September, 25 at 6:48 am | Filed Under Blogs

I thought this kind of thing was not possible. Weird.
A Zero point magnetic power generator is basically a Free Energy Generator. It uses magnets, and magnetic force to induce perpetual motion. It runs by itself, indefinitely without stopping, thus creating completely free electrical energy, which can fully power your home for free. A [...]
