Snow finally stopped for a few hours. Took the dogs for a hilly mile walk near home. Then thought I would dust off the x-country skis and take a spin around the lake. Hadn't used them for a few years and had a  time trying to get the boots and bindings to mate up. Once on the lake the skis were dropping about a foot into the snow, so I figured to break trail on the way out and glide back. But on the other side of the lake there was slush a few inches below the snow surface which terminally iced the skis so I trudged back as well. I'm sure the ice fishermen were enjoying the spectacle. On the plus side it was a workout. And, rather than get discouraged I'm not having a problem laughing at myself, along with my wife of course.
