I decided that August is clearly the best time to buy winter sports equipment. All the new-year gear is arriving at stores, and they've got to get rid of last year's models. So, on a recent jaunt to Vermont, J--- and I decided to hit up the ski shops in search of crazy deals. We shopped around, chatted with "the kids" in the shops (it's all downhill from here, folks -- for the first time ever I felt way older than the shopkids, instead of feeling like a peer. Although, one of them did call my sunglasses "rad" so I guess I'm still, y'know, rad.) and ended up getting some quality, brand-name secondhand boards and bindings, and brand-new boots, for less than the cost of a new board. Sweet.
Doubly sweet was that the gear was heavily subsidized by the Best In-Laws Ever!!! I am pleased with myself for accomplishing a financially based goal without actually having to shell out on the financial end. That's what I get for being the Best Daughter In-Law Ever.
Hey, I made peach crumble for a dinner party.
It's really good peach crumble.
