I will do my best not to be excessively subtle in the future. It was my assumption that there are no foods that could be eaten in reasonable amounts that would provide high levels of glucosamine or chondroitin. I generally agree with and respect Neil's point that good nutrition is the start...

My knees used to snap and pop and make a dry, gritty sound ascending the stairs in a quiet house... have been taking a glucosamine-chondroitin complex for about two years. After about two months of taking the glucosamine, my knees made a much quieter "swish-swish" on same stairs. YMMV, it has...

Hey, Bob... I was WFH today, too... Yes, George is absolutely good people. We probably have crossed paths and just never known it. I think that I am in MMK most of the week next week, drop by or email me (Knight, Andy internally), and we'll hunt down the best coffee Sebastian's cafe has to offer.

OK, Bob -- that's a little weird... I work on Contra second floor, too -- zone is escaping me at this hour of the night, but I am right next to the CAP fishbowl, so probably pretty close to you. Drop by and say hi sometime -- I can buy you a cup of bad coffee at the Sebastian's. Marty, where...

Not sure where else to post this, so please feel free, moderators... There was a green Suburban (Denali XL?) with VFTT and ROT stickers on the back in the parking lot of the Fidelity Investments Merrimack facility at 2 Contra Way this AM... wondering who else works for Fidelity? Post or PM...

Not thinking mashed potatoes... more inclined to believe things will freeze up pretty good tonight and stay that way through the weekend, with highs in the 20s at the base elevation. My guess is the snow has consolidated considerably -- but 'shoes will probably still be a good idea in places...

A quick Google search turned up this... seems like a good fly-over, based on my annual (non-hiking) trips to Joshua Tree over the past 15 or so years: http://www.joshua.tree.national-park.com/hike.htm We visit every year, typically in the spring, and end up doing a driving tour (elderly...

I bet your right, Waumbek... There (unfortunately) isn't much question in my mind that different district crews have very different levels of ability to keep roads clear. There are portions of 93 from Exit 28 south where you can pretty much count on the road being scraped and well...

4-5" down in Waterville Valley at 3pm on Wednesday. It has been snowing lightly to moderately since about 8am. No real wind or drifting so far.

For what it's worth, from the Clif Bar website: "If you purchased the recalled bars, please destroy them but retain the BEST BY, SELL BY or EXPIRY DATE/DATE D’EXPIRATION code found on the back of the package. For questions or a refund, contact us online or call 1-800-CLIFBAR (1-800-254-3227). "...

Assuming you put the downspout to the rear, though, wouldn't that cause some issues for folks behind you on the trail? Basically, you'd be leaving a continuous wet track like a snail. And if you're really a hot hiker, you'd be leaving an ice-slick up the middle of the trail in the winter...

Similar vein, not quite as sexy as the ShamWow... I bought a little CoolMax skull-cap, designed for use under a biking helmet. It's called a "sweat-vac", and lives up to its name. On humid days, I have long suffered horrendously from sweat running in my eyes, flooding my sunglasses, etc...

Toe Cozy and UnaDogger, I can definitely see reason for dissent with Woodstock Station and Moat Mountain, though both were tops on my list... I will cop to three things being strong influences: * The beer in both places is outstanding, and consistent with my strong desire to live the...

-25 below in Waterville Valley Friday at 7AM, according to my car thermometer (a friend who lives 500 feet away reported -30 on his porch, which probably was more accurate). This morning it's a balmy -21 according to the Weather Channel, though they usually read a couple degrees warmer than I...

Keep driving by that one, and have seen their menu in the local Menu Browser paper thingie... how is it? It looks really good...

In NoWoodstock, you might be thinking of Woodstock Station, which I know is a default choice for a lot of us. Excellent house-brewed beer (try the Pigs Ear Brown or Old Man Stout) and a remarkably eclectic menu, most of which is pretty darned good. Over on the North Conway side, there are some...

Fair question, TDawg, and to be honest, I don't remember how or if we evaluated going up... the subsequent excitement has pretty much purged that from memory. These days, and probably then, too, I tend to scan pretty carefully to see what other skiers are encountering, but I don't recollect...

I complete sympathize with the question, Sandy... Personally, I couldn't take it anymore... between skiing/hiking/biking and other family-oriented outdoor activities, we literally were driving from the South Shore to the Whites every weekend, which meant the entire family was in the car at least...

I am hardly a model of efficiency in hiking -- or much else, for that matter -- but from my perspective the answer is, "it varies based on the terrain". I personally try to maintain approximately the same cadence, but lengthen my strides when the terrain flattens out and shorten them when it's...

About 5" of light fluff at 1500 feet in Waterville Valley, and still coming down steadily. Winds on the valley floor are calm, too -- should be a nice day to be outside.
