Morning warm-up...

It never used to be that way; only a couple of years ago, when I skied, I jumped right into the action and started full-throttle. These days, I act more carefully; I'm not quite sure that I still can do it, so I need to reassure myself.

It's as if I needed to warm myself up, but after a couple of runs, it feels (almost) like the good old days. It must be the engine that is becoming temperamental or, God forbid, is undergoing a Diesel transformation!
