While searching for how to repair the foam on my goggles, I came across this really kool website with repair tips for ski/boarding gear.

That is an interesting site Keith.  This seems particularly useful:

HOW TO PREPARE FOR NEXT SEASON
This 10-step program showed up mysteriously in our email one day. We thought it only appropriate to share with y'all so you'll be properly prepared for next season...
1. Visit your local butcher and pay $30 to sit in the walk-in freezer for half an hour. Afterwards, burn two $50 bills to warm up.
2. Go to the nearest hockey rink and walk across the ice twenty times in your ski boots carrying a pair of skis, snowboard, accessory bag and poles. Pretend you're looking for your car.
3. To prepare your feet for ski boots, put a pebble in your street shoes and tighten a c-clamp around your toes.
4. Buy a nice pair of new gloves and immediately throw one away.
5. Clip a lift ticket to the zipper of your jacket and ride a motorcycle fast enough to make the ticket lacerate your face.
6. Drive slowly for five hours...anywhere...as long as it's in a snowstorm following an eighteen-wheeler without chains.
7. Fill a blender with ice, hit the pulse button and let the spray blast your face. You'll almost feel like your skiing in front of a snowmaking machine.
8. Go to McDonald's and insist on paying $10 for a hamburger. Be sure to stand in the longest line.
9. Dress up in as many clothes as possible and then proceed to take them off because you have to go to the bathroom.
10. Repeat all the above every Saturday and Sunday

Keith, that's a great site, thanks for sharing.

Snow Bell, being as the rivets on my boots sometimes dig into my ankles, I would have to add 11. Apply medieval screw torture device to ankles and proceed to walk in them for a least 8 hrs. a day.

You could almost cover the alpine wreckers with that one as well.

Lol...so true! They now sit with my array of early 1900's grivel axes, mountaineering gloves, and canteens. Artifacts. I wonder if any British museums of medieval torture devices would be interested?

Keith, any luck on those goggles?

Waaaay tooooo much free time. Kieth, I think you should consider a post retirement job. Any idea whwere to get those cool trash bag coats ? It's been raining all day and I decided yes I like to ski, but not that much. That is all.
