Gearfetch is finally turned on - amazing! Of course it's still full of bugs and issues and problems and headaches, but what are online stores for if not all that?
I just got a new hangboard, which is a training device for climbing. After much strife, and lots of tool borrowing, I have managed to hang it shoddily outside the store on the front porch. It's actually been a big hit with the whole staff, as I've seen everyone except Eric go out and give it a whirl or two. Many of them are looking forward to working up to their first pull up.
We've finally had some cold weather and that means that the slopes at Seven Springs are actually worth hitting up. I skiied my little brains out this past weekend, going Friday night, most of Saturday, and stopped off Sunday on my way back from the 'burgh. My legs felt like gummy worms on my last run, but I'm really forward to going again some night this week.
That's all for now.

Paddling in the New Year
I'm told that we're expecting Winter any day now . . .
On January 1, Eric, Lou, BenT and Rich did some laps on the Top Yough, which had some good flow. Some of us were supposed to go someplace a little more adventurous, but some of us also partied like rock stars the previous night. No matter, the Top was still a blast, especially the always-exciting Swallow Falls. On the way back to town, Eric stuffed the bed of the F-150 with as much firewood as it would carry, and then some. This guy really likes his wood.
Drew is in town, doing a marketing internship at WV, and living it up in the whitehouse. He's been showing us that, no, it's not too cold to go playboating, so long as you don't mind getting sick. He'll be picking up a creek boat in the very near future.
Yesterday the Big Sandy was just high enough to be worth the drive out and the beat down on your car that the shuttle provides. Lou, who's turning into a real cfs snob, tried to rope Astrid into going to the Top, but she was Lame, and went to a "farm show" instead. Astrid, I hope you got rained on and that a donkey shat on your shoes. No I don't. Nobody deserves to get rained on.
Anyway, the Big Sandy turned out to be a wicked cool time. Lou, BenT, Rich, Dave, and two of BenT's friends bumper-boated their way down the slalom-o-riffic whitewater of West Virginia's best class IV run. We ran into Wade, of Yoga fame, at the put-in, and he showed us that you're never too old, and it's never too cold, for Big Splat.
Well, that's all for now. Expect updates soon, especially about the progress of the online store, due to launch any day now, and Lou's impending suicide owing to his frustration over the appalling lack of snow.
