Those helmets are oy falling object protection, totally worthless if you take a groundfall.

you kissed some snow... if you'd hit rock, different story.

You're the last of a dying breed my friend, a snowboarding mohican... Pretty soon everybody will wear a helmet on the slopes. It is safer, no denying that.

I prefer skiing sans helmet too, but I just don't want to take the risk anymore.
It's like humping without a rubber, fun, but risky...

If you let go and drop 10 feet before the safty line catches you, you do not want to do bumpiddybump with the mountain. But I'm not gonna keep on saying it, said it once ,that should suffice, I'll let you decide

Well, not rocks... The side of a mountain, really. Yes, lucky.. Once again. I was about 3 when I first gashed my forehead, scarred for life, even with stitches... Ate pavement a number of years later, wear one on my lip too - Oh, I was wearing a helmet for that one... Broke my nose in two places, though it's pretty centered now...

You, my friend, are equilibrially impaired. Gravity is not your friend...

Have you tried chess, sudoku's, crossword puzzling??

Thanks! I figured out the action issue and I have an idea why the tuning is a bit off....

Good Morning guys.

G-Man, ya gotta a remember Sid is 19 and invulnerable. I bet you remember being 19 and invulnerable. He will wear a helmet if survives a few more hard falls.

We have a busy week here. We are working on a big project and there is some drudgery work to do. I guess that is why we call it work and get paid to do it.

Morning Glen,

Indeed I do remember being 19 and ready to take on the whole world. (aaah, only to be 19 again...)
Now I just want to conquer the women (at least 'til I find one worth keeping...)
I did some crazy stuff too, dangerous things. The kind that would make me slap myself on the back of the head if I did them again...

How was your bachelor weekend?? Did you leave the house in ruines, beercans scattered all over the place, pizza stains on the carpet, burning car on the driveway? Passed out drunk in your undies in front of you 60 inch tv?? (probably not I guess )

About work? drudgery and stuff on this side of the pond also...
