Hell, I’m still in the excavation and concrete frame of mind. I’m just old and complaining about the price of things and the weather
Spouse has outlined an ambitious plan for the next 8 months. Let the dominos fall! Haha
Plan is to finish prepping the lots by March. Have them sold in April (doubtful). Take the funds and have a building put up by September. This is going to be a shop/garage/apartment or "barndominium" as I heard some one call it.
Dismantle and re-install free pole barn, converting into house garage.
Re-side my house with a mud room addition.
The kids and spouse are getting a place in Laramie. Rent out the house. I'll live in the barndominium and hire/train someone to be on call while I am running around the Rky Mtns. I won't get to see my kids every day but also they won't be in these terrible schools. The investment is worth it. The gang land BS and brainwashed conservativism is off the charts here and it's on full display in the schools. The choices are war zone public schools or catholic schools.
I told Spouse the only way I'll fly back and forth is if I can get another mtb to leave in Wyoming. She seemed to be on board with that so I think I get to build a mountain bike.
At this point if we can make ends meet and the kids are in good schools, my wife isn't hating on our situation, and I have time to work and build trails, I am OK with whatever happens. If I can get someone on call for half the month, I can likely spend almost half my time in Wyoming.

If it plays out the way we are talking I am locked into 14 years of Rocky Mountain rambling. I'll take that.
Avoid Tahoe.
Noted.
Placer County Sheriff has identified the victim of the avalanche as 66 year old Kenneth Kidd of Truckee California.
Good for you. Sounds like a lot of things to juggle, but in the end it will benefit everyone.
Looks like a pretty classic loading event with the wind that morning. Seeing wind speeds on nearby stations at the peaks gusting to 100mph that morning, that would have been ripping the snow off at that speed, although it definitely was less at times and would have loaded NNE slopes and cross-loaded the gully on KT22. Different than what KCRA reported, but they were quoting "prevailing winds", which isn't really useful, they didn't seem to pull the historical snowtel/weather station data. Anyway, we call that red-light avy conditions. Palisades calls it fun I guess.
Yeah we are getting lots of weird stares and kick back from friends and relatives. But they don't get it.Good for you. Sounds like a lot of things to juggle, but in the end it will benefit everyone.
Dang. You must *really* have shit schools if you're moving to WY for better.
Laramie is a college town and has only 1 school district. Plus the elevation and weather weeds out most of societies urchins.Dang. You must *really* have shit schools if you're moving to WY for better.
I'll take wind over gang bangers any day.Yeah - I'm aware. I was only sorta joking. Enjoy the wind!
