Ski Jumping

Its been another incredibly full week! A few trips to the ski hill. Monday the girls had off, so we went. Wednesday was a half day for them, but I gave a neighbor snowboarding lessons in the morning. He liked it so much that he went out and bought his own gear. The girls and I met him again at the hill this morning. The wind was cold! Also got some great snow on Friday and Saturday, so the sledding hill is in good shape now. Snowblower is working really well. 

Managed to make more progress in the workshop. Had an electrician come out and tell me how to wire up the table saw, so hopefully I can finish that job tomorrow. The parts were expensive, though. Also worried about all the condensation on our windows, so I designed and ordered a HRV system. Hopefully that will help. Thinking about storm windows too if that doesn't do enough. 

On Friday night Amélie and I went to the ski jumping competition in Ishpeming. Apparently it's one of the best jumps in the country. It was a lot of fun to see, and quite the challenge to climb up part of the hill! Over a year ago Amélie and I were watching ski jumping on TV and she could hardly believe it was a real sport, so I promised to take her. Abigail and Naomi went yesterday to check it out. 


Fun at the ski hill. 

Figuring out the wiring.


What a sport!
