For the gear, it's all kinda pricey, but you can usually find "last season's" stuff online for half off or more, and they last a while. I haven't bought a new jacket in 4-5 years, and I only bought new pants two years ago because I drove all the way up to the mountain thinking I'd packed them, but they weren't in my car when I got there Same with gloves.
My current board is going on 4 years or so, and should still be fine for another season or two. I really like Arbor boards. I've ridden Ride, Burton, and Rossignol (sp?) boards as well, and this Arbor is my favorite by far. It's a "park" board, but still lets me do some back country and all mountain riding without much trouble. My snow here isn't as deep as yours would be, so you may want more of an all mountain board.

"Hi, I missed a call from you guys, but didn't get a voicemail, so I just wanted to call back, I think it should have been test results for my dog Ava from Saturday."
"The vet said she left a voicemail."
"I didn't get one, so can you give me the results, or put me on with the vet so I can talk to her?"
"They're in your voicemail, but basically the test needs to be redone when your dog is in heat. Her voicemail explains why."
"I don't have a voicemail, can you ask her to call me tomorrow so she can explain to me?"
"Sure" *hangs up*
Fucking bitch.
First of all, why didn't the vet tell me Ava needed to be in heat before running the test and charging me $300? Secondly, she's spayed so she shouldn't be going into heat, and in the 2.5 years since being spayed, she spotted once for a few days... I'm supposed to wait another 2.5 years and just bring her in if it randomly happens again? Thirdly, fuck you you stupid cunt. Why did I have to continually tell you that I'm calling becuase I didn't recieve a voicemail?
When the vet calls today if there is any bull shit and they don't say they'll redo the test for free since she knew it would come back inconclusive since Ava wasn't in heat, I'm demanding a refund, and if they don't issue it I'll be disputing the charge on my CC, filing a complaint with the BBB, and filing a complaint with the California Vetrinary Medical Board. If she tries to say she didn't know that Ava wasn't in heat I'm going to lose it. If you, as a fucking vet, can't tell when a dog is in heat, how am I supposed to tell and know to bring her in for the test?
Smash time!

Beer league hockey is the best. You're in MI, there must be 5 leagues nearby even in bumfuck Western MI. Don't be the next Michael Schumacher and go skiing.
We have a four man team. 3 of us have Vets who went to school together for wives and the other is single. It's rare if we miss more than one or 2 answer in a night. Typically 2 games of 10-13 questions so 25 questions a night.

I didn't start until last year.
jambalaya is way harder to cook than gumbo. You have to make a strong flavorful gumbo THEN not screw up the rice cooking in that gumbo. Hard to not have burned rice on the bottom of pot.
