I went to the ski shop I used to go to and there is back logged until next sunday for waxing.  The technician only comes in once a week in the ski shop.  I guess the volume of waxing in one shop is not enough to support a full time staff.  The suddenly fall early snow in november makes people take out their ski and snowboard much earlier than last year.  I went to another ski shop to wax my skis.  Luckily their technician is in today and clear up most of the back log.  So I can pick up the skis by wednesday.  I can&#8217;t wait to go skiing next week.  Too bad that the project havn&#8217;t tape out yet.  It will look back skipping work to go to ski.
