Steve, how's it going this Monday morning?

Really good, man.

Sitting upstairs in my house, staring out the window, watching it snow, got like four

inches yesterday here at the house.

So I spent all day in the yard yesterday building snowmen and slid down the hill and got

to snuck out for a hike with my dog and got to kind of playing with some frame concept

ideas for down the road future.

Yeah, got to test that out.

Yeah, things are good.

Nice, man.

If you hike in the snow again today, I would say where technique is just to make it extra

hard and like make it a solid workout.

Yeah, no, that's, I did wear those, those Hanvag Alvastones and I really like them.

They have that like the only thing I'm going to be picky about them is they have, you know,

what they call like a climbing toe to it and you'll see that on a lot of boots where

it's like a one inch just flat piece of rubber out on the, the basically the kind of tip

of the toe on the on the sole side on the bottom.

And you know, it's, I think if you are like in rocks all the time, it makes some sense.

But man, it's, yeah, you just like when I roll up off the ball, your foot onto that, you

can just literally feel it slip, you know.

And it's, it's just, yeah, it drives me nuts that they include those in a lot of boot

designs because it's, yeah, I guess maybe in Italy when they're hiking on the Dolomite
