I was never much more than a novice. Got myself in more than one pickle on some hard runs. Mostly Utah and Idaho; and night skiing at Mountain High in SoCal, of course! 😁

Doing dinner up near Heavenly Ski Resort this evening. This photo does not do the steepness of this ski run justice. I MAY have attempted this in my skiing days. 😬⛷️

I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Ironically, we are staying literally one block away from Stateline, Nevada. The Harrah's Hotel/Casino is right on the border. 😁

Actually, looks like E1 got canceled. Truck 1 handling. 👊🚒

You know, Darth, I'm just not seeing it. I mean other than E1, T1 handling an extinguished fire currently. 🤷‍♂️

We did a short hike up at Emerald Bay this afternoon. It's in the southwest corner of Lake Tahoe just north of the city of South Lake Tahoe.

We decided on a quick side-trip up to Lake Tahoe before the wedding in Arnold tomorrow. I haven't been up here in many years. It is really a remarkable place.

I have rarely gone wrong with the "mom-and-pop" Mexican joints. This one was in Gila Bend was so, so good!

Sometimes when you're on the road, you get lucky. We did at Sofia's in Gila Bend.
