Snow Day

I went with some friends out on the tundra today to chop down some lumber for a construction project. I also was able to take out a snow machine (snow mobile) for a few hours. They are pretty fun and very reminiscent of motorcycling. Heavier and so a bit slower, less maneuverable but still quite a ride on the open flats. It's hard to grasp how quickly the vistas can change from one clearing to the next when you are out there. There are times when you are in broad rings of trees and can see little, go less than 500-1000 yards in a direction and you have a sweeping panorama of mountain ranges...breathtaking and intimidating mountain ranges.

The Rosanero secured a tie with Udinese... respectable but they need to secure more wins if they hope to gain a berth for the UEFA Cup. Next week is another challenging game against current Serie A league leaders Inter Milan... daunting to say the least.

Tomorrow is a possible X-country skiing adventure. If the weather permits and the body is willing I shall enjoy a solo adventure...
