Chris, that last picture.  What are those three mounds sticking up into a point?  Did you clear that path with just one pass?  I am assuming the reason for two different types of gloves is for better finger movement? 

Otherwise, grand pictures everybody!

Man, thought I posted here already but it didn't show.  Don't know where it went but I hope it didn't hit the pool room.

Hey Richie, I definitely wouldn't laugh at your terrorist mask as I wear the same kind of head gear (until I'm burnin' up out there then the hat and coat come off).  No goggles, although that's a pretty damn good idea.  If they work for skiing they would sure work for throwing.  I've never been called a terrorist, but I did have one goofball ask me if I was a ninja, so I halved him with the steel blade of my samurai snow shovel.  I think that answerd his question.

JOGO, fantastic "hang time" (as said on another post). No doubt you are the envy of the neighborhood!!! Chris, great pictures! You definately know how to get away from work. My older son has the same hat your son has. Every time I he wears it I need to listen to the following...My hat has 3 corners, three corners has my hat, if my hat had not three corners then-it wouldn't be my hat!(AJace-3 cones=driveway lights maybe?) Take care, Walt

Chris,

In case you are talking about my two photos, they are enhanced for clarity using Photoshop 8.0.  Our digital camera takes really good photos, but Photoshop makes them better. 

Torch (James)  A good non-fogging ski goggle is the only way to go using a snowblower.  Between the ski jumpsuit, full face mask, and goggles, all the wind in the world or even blown back chute discharge isn't even noticed with the proper clothing. If you try the goggles, make sure they are anti-fogging type.  You won't be happy otherwise.

AJ those are solar lamps we put in that never worked, by the time I realized this they were frozen into the ground lol....Oh well  thats what you get when you buy a cheap product sometimes lol...  As for the different gloves I was just happy to find a pair...., last year I found 8 right handed gloves and no left handed ones, I'm not kidding, I think I might actually have 5 kids and have lost one in the house lol....So that was the best I could do.....I was wondering if anyone would catch that lol.... 

Yes Walt, you nailed it! lights but they don't work lol....I love the song, my son does not know that one but it sounds adorable....

Richie yes I meant your pics, crystal clear.  I tried to enhance mine with Photosuite but it did not come out as well as I would like.....

Nice pics Chris and Richie.
Chris, follow your motto. When I saw the pics of your kids it reminded me of how much
I enjoyed watching my 2 sons at that age, sledding and goofing around out in the backyard. One is away at
college now and the other is 16 and would rather be at  the ski resorts. Something about snow bunnies.
So appreciate these times with them now. Nice looking kids.

Richie, I like the goggle idea. I didn't think you looked like a terrorist. I was thinking more,
ummmmm, power ranger.  LOL

Chris, it's a good thing you had two different type of gloves on.  The one on the right hand made it easier to see that thumbs up. 

Richie,  now you've got me looking for an anti-fogging mask that is orange in color.    Anything I wear that is to keep me warm, such as a scarf and rests under my glasses with my breath connected to them makes them fog up.  Then I can't see anything worth a lick.   Owww, that was my foot........

Thanks folks, glad you liked the photos.

Chris, I don't think there is any substitute for Photoshop.  In the future, if you have photos you wish to post and they don't seem up to your standards, email them to me and I'll see what I can do with them.

AJace, They are better with the clear lenes, I just can't seem to find that lens, so I use the shaded one that also came with them. I used to use sunglasses, but the snow would just blow into the sides and you could imagine how uncomfortable that is.

Richie, I meant the whole mask itself not just the lens.  Althought it would probably looks better with the orange lens.  I'll sacrifice for the clear lens.  Now I just have to find a good looking mask at a good price.
