Yeah, we were blessed with great skiing in and around Vancouver:  Grouse mtn, Cypress Bowl, Mt. Seymour, Whistler, Manning park, Big White in Kelowna, and Mt. Baker in Washington state to name a few.   I made it as far south as Flagstaff, AZ one winter.  I still might try skiing one last time if I can find a nice bunny hill somewhere.  Head and Kneissel were my favourite skis.

While we're on the topic of pogey and skiing, we were always looking for ways to make our money go further.  One of our group was especially devious (he went on to politics) and came up with a scheme to get free entry and drinks at the Whistler Lodge.  Every weekend a band would drive up from the Lower Mainland and play the weekend.  My friend told us all to wear black T shirts and be at the back door of the Whistler Lodge early.  When the band showed up, we told them we were staff at the lodge and were there to help them set up.  When we went in to the lodge, we told the real Whistler lodge staff that we were roadies for the band so we got in for free.  That wasn't the end of it though, all night long we went up to the bar and told them to put our beer on the band's tab, which they did.  I don't know what our final bar tab was but I could imagine the uproar when the band got the tab at the end of their gig.

Oh I have been so busy lately that I have not checked in on the forum…
Yes, I see it’s been answered as to the meaning, yes just any type of sweet treat you could bring to the field…. 
I never knew the origin of it at the time, but when I was stationed in Germany, I was always with the first sergeant when out in the field.  He always asked what kind of pogie bait I had brought to the field, or he would tell me that we were going to detour into the closest town and get some pogie bait !!!

I took my PTO from November 25th to December 30th but I’m not going to be back to work or available for them till January 5th since I’m getting 2 days of administrative since I had go back to the Boomvang to check hot alignment, and then didn’t get to do it !!! 
I now have a sewer tank for my brew house!!! No more relieving ourselves outside… and Mrs. Joyce won’t have to buy her them big binoculars!!!! 
I also got my culvert put in behind my cypress pond, pulled the floating vegetation out my pond that had willow trees growing on it … pulled a few mounds of dirt also !!!
Got some more of my firewood split. 
Now to build a mud room on the back porch for the dogs , and possibly one on the front porch if all goes well … 
But this week I got the youngest granddaughter when my wife is working, daughter in law is going in for female surgery… 
Also gotta get that young bull to the butcher !!! And that thing is crazy and spooky!!!
Was supposed to bring the Hereford! But the Lisa did a pregnancy test and found out that she is pregnant! So she gets a reprieve this time … but next time !!! She won’t be so lucky !!!

My cow have a baby every year. As I only have one cow and as all mules are sterile Buster can not help.

I pay the Vet $40-60 USD do it. She does not mind.

In North Carolina if you have a bull you have to pay added insurance for it.

A bull is to costly to me:

Added insurance

Higher animal tax

Food costs

Have to have stronger fences.

Can not have a bull and mule in the same pasture

Not worth the cost for the bull.

It part of your property tax as farm animals have a value.

You are correct Hoadie but farm animals have a metal ear tag. This is linked to the owner.

Unless you eat it you are out of luck.

The ear tag is linked to the animal life history, family tree.

I do not know how dummy ear tags work.
