My wonderful friend and admin Kay retired after 28 years of workign at IBM. We had a big party for her in the cafeteria.. a ton of folks showed up. SA ton of Kays family were there and they were all such great people. . We all shared stories about Kay. She&#8217;s fun to tease because she&#8217;s just so darn nice. She&#8217;s always smiling and laughing.. and let me tell you.. that&#8217;s not always possible around work. Our offices are side by side and hte walls are paper thin.. so we&#8217;r ealways laughing at each others conversations. She and her husband have been married for 44 years and their conversations still make me blush \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Kay.. I&#8217;m sure gonna miss you ! <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/feb1110\/kay.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Here are Dixie and Vicki showed up for the party which was nice..

The split board is a snowboard we cut in half that can be fit as climbing skis for the way up.. and then clipped back together as a snowboard for the way down. this was Gabe&#8217;s maiden voyage on them. <\/p>\n<p>Here they are separated as ski.. the climbing skins are already on&#8230; <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/feb1110\/feb1110001.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/feb1110\/feb1110002.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">We jiked up through the woods wiht headlamps to guide us.. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/feb1110\/feb1110014.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">we came back out on a trail, and gabe pulled off the skins and coupled the two halves of the board together. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/feb1110\/feb1110015.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/feb1110\/feb1110017.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Then he flew down the montian as I attempted to keep up with snowshoes..
