work work work...

Now it is back to the grind for me.  I have been slaving long days for the all mighty dollar.  I had the highest paying winter yet, but still I have to get after it in the off-season to make the ends meet up.  Laying stone all day and slinging bags all night has been my mantra and it is proving just as much of a pain in the ass as last season.  The weather is warm here now and the snow is quickly running off the hillsides.  I am ready for the warmth, but will be jonesing for the snow again in about a month or two.  Spring is always a welcomed season for me cause I get to beat up and burnt out to ski anymore, but after my ailments heal and my head clears I get the jones again. It never fails.  So for now I will embrace the hard work and carpel tunnel syndrome with my eye toward the fall when it all pays off again.  So I will leave you with a photo of my happy place that gets me through the 14 hour slogs.
