Mccall is a snowy place. The mountain was great for skiing last week but a warm up and high winds have changed it to an obstacle course. Gina and I had great days of deep soft powder with no base below. Caleb and I ripped up Dixie bowl. no time for pictures, it was a powder day, with lots of people so I needed to get rippin.
Other than that, a decent cross country ski at Ponderosa State park is the only other out door activity I have done here.
Went to the bars two nights in a row. The first night I was home by 11pm, the second home by 3am. Foresters is open in McCall and the atmosphere is totally different than the old days. However, the cleaner, smoke free atmosphere is more enjoyable. The sound from the bands is great also.
Went to Gold Fork Hotsprings yesterday for my last lithium dose of the year. Moscow does not have any decent hotsprings within the nearby vicinity and the proximity to hotsprings is one of the spoils of living in central Idaho.

Winter is here and this town is not good at plowing snow. I love the medians of snow that get piled up and make a three land road into a two lane track. I was going to leave for mccall tomorrow but may just get a move on today.

The place I stayed the night in is a house that Mark is building. The frames of the house and shop are made from old timbers from the Potlach Mill. WOW. the house walls are stawbale, the windows are recessed (?) and each has a foot wide stoop and the edges of the walls are curved, aside from the window bottoms, there are no sharp corners in the whole house. So dreamy!!!

Solstice

Winter times in Idaho are great if one has the motivation to enjoy it. Henry and I went up to Moscow Mountain yesterday. A classmate has a cabin up there and hosted a gathering. The snow was deep and the skies were blue on the 6 degree skin up slope. It was a very cold night and thank goodness for indoors and a wood stove.


Henry did very well on the trip. People enjoyed him.

the border collie looks like my dog. Now I have more tricks to teach Henry.

Mi casa

Its another fine Saturday in Moscow (Idaho that is). spent lots of time playing fetch with the dog. Last night I chilled out at my house, tried to relax, ended up cleaning my living room. Here are some photos of the pad.
