Robert,
Enjoy the skis. I have the week off and would love to get out but the snow in the mountains is not stable (We are burying way to many snowmobilers right now and the snow cover in the valleys is still marginal). We recycle the water around here, with the lake effect this years paddling water was last years skiing snow and will be this years snow again. The only problem is we have a leak in the system and the lake keeps dropping. Austin doesn’t have to go into work until 4:00 today so we are planning on getting in a short paddle on the lake.
