Pine Marten Laps

It snowed, so I was able to try out my snow plow. It didn’t work great. I’ve made some improvements and there is snow in the forecast for tomorrow morning, so I am anticipating speedy snow removal in the AM.

Monday was President’s Day. There was no school for me, but there was school for The Bigs. So, I went to college and I did The Mother’s work for her – again. I built a photogate for her lab class. It kind of acts like an electronic eye.

We had a bluebird, warm day on Saturday.

While I was training slalom, Mom and Dad met up with some former students and did some laps. I guess not all their students hate them.

On Sunday, my goal was to ski to the summit of Bachelor.

When we got to the Pine Marten Lodge, we saw that the summit route was closed due to an impending storm. So, we skied down and climbed back up to the lodge a second time, for a total of 2,766 vertical feet. We ran into my pediatrician skinning to the lodge at the same time we were. She was more than a little impressed!

Things we ate this week:

Peanut butter ramen, absolutely delicious but a little orange. We put orange bell peppers, carrots, and sweet potatoes. Next time we will use red peppers and maybe add something green!

Sauteed mushrooms, spinach, and walnuts with avocado and soft-boiled eggs on a bed of COTTAGE CHEESE. Weird? Yes. Yummy? YES.

Em, I’m pretty impressed by your snowplow project and the photogate you made for your mom’s lab class! Skiing continues on and on, and it’s great you keep enjoying it. You’re lucky to have all that snow!

Looks like you’re a pretty good at soldering. You’ll have to try it on some stained glass. I hope when you were skinning to the summit you didn’t pass some perfectly good lifts😂😂. I forgot to mention cool Kinko gloves.

Snow snow snow. Soon it will be biking and hiking and paddle boarding. All new goals to set. Your hike twice up mt batchelor was very impressive. I’m sure your pediatrician was shocked to see you.
where do you find all those food recipes or do you just make them up?
