@SkaredShtles: that's snow not rain
Mammoth and the surrounding counties declared a state of emergency 3 days ago. This is gettin nuts. I mean yes it was already nuts but it's about to get really nuts.
my perspective on these things definitely shifted a lot after the car accident.Make as much money as possible by doing the least amount of work possible has been my motto since getting laid off from my first job out of school.
Of course there are times I want to say FTS and impulsively apply for jobs, but I know deep down I'm not going anywhere, at least under my correct situation. I get paid pretty well, have lots of additional monetary and non-monetary perks with the job, and most importantly, my boss doesn't give a FUCK what I do, as long as the work keeps getting done. Sure there's been plenty of weeks I've worked 60-70hrs, but there's been far more weeks I've worked <20hrs too. It all balances out.
I've seen plenty of younger folks with MS/PhDs climb the ladder and surpass me, and I've simultaneously see them stress the fuck out and burn out. There's a reason you see a lot of guys in their 50s still doing the hands-on, engineery shit. Can't put a price on doing what's fun and not being miserable, even if it means never getting rich.
Hope you find a path and mental place that works for you broseph.
town of truckee just declared a state of emergencythat's the forecast?
jesus...
I do the paid garage. Because little kids and lessons (although C Lot would be technically closer the whole point of having a house is to not be up super early ). If I am out of the house by 7:15 I'll be just fine, spot on level 1.You guys aren't even going to be able to find parking on Saturday.
i'd love some snow, especially significant accumulation, but i'll believe it when i see it. also snow this time of year tends to be heavy, and with our trees already budding out that's a recipe for power outages.Looks like we may get all our winter in the next few weeks in the form of a couple of noreasters.
From about 6 mins in:
I hope you mean "isn't"... 'cause if not:at least water is coming up from the floor anymore
You know it’s going to become progressively more difficult to locate an acceptably high enough mound of snow to park upon. Perhaps you should pack a snow shovel in case you need to build the perfect parking spot, DR.I do the paid garage.

trade you for some snow when they fruitBradford Pears have already bloomed and the Cherry tree has little pink buds.
It's been a rough week or 9
This one doesn’t fruit unfortunately. Purty though.trade you for some snow when they fruit
we'll still have some around
It happened in 2017 and 2019This one doesn’t fruit unfortunately. Purty though.
If I thru hike the AT this year then maybe I’ll do the PCT next year. I’m assuming you will still have some vintage ‘23 snow still hanging around yes ?
If those were rain totals though, good god, that would be ark building weather.
Nuckin Futs dude…It happened in 2017 and 2019
The following years snowed on the previous seasons
At this rate the remaining CA glaciers may start growing again
Have you considered the Colorado Trail? It's not such a huge commitment as the PCT or CDT, and the views are pretty nice most of the way. Oh - and it requires no permits (yet).This one doesn’t fruit unfortunately. Purty though.

The snow piles at kid 3's preschool are becoming quite sad. Except for one, which people like to park next to at a 90 degree angle, to my mild annoyance (as it therefore thwarts my summit attempts)You know it’s going to become progressively more difficult to locate an acceptably high enough mound of snow to park upon.

New water well? How deep do they have to go?Good morning everybody! How my morning is going…….with coffee View attachment 190707
deepening the old one. 615 down to 715. I’ll be glad to have it down so I won’t run out of water for a while. It was dirty and suffering draw down issues due to dirtiness.New water well? How deep do they have to go?
Holy shit. . . What kind of gpm can you get? Round here 100 is deep.deepening the old one. 615 down to 715.

Yes, I have considered the CT. It looks freaking amazing. I want the commitment of long distance thru hikes as it gets me away for five plus months. Five weeks would be great too, but I need moar, much, much moar. Problem is just money and my lack of it. Hopefully there will be some happy couples looking to get hitched this Spring or one or two anniversary spendy rings for sticky sweet older rich customers.Have you considered the Colorado Trail?

I dunno about your neck of the woods but around here its $100/foot for drilling wells. The water tables are highly variable also. Some people can get away with 100ft but many have to go 350ft and much deeper - below 1000ft. This is all within a 25 mile radius too.Holy shit. . . What kind of gpm can you get? Round here 100 is deep.
I would imagine shitting out a Lego would be worse than stepping on one. So you should know how many are down there.Happy Fryday folks! Just traded 2 dozen eggs for a bag of fresh roasted decaf beans. Score for my lady friend who prefers decaf always.
It snowed another INCH here last night. Whens this shit going to stop.
Also, sometimes I wonder how many legos end up in my septic tank.
I’m told about ten.Holy shit. . . What kind of gpm can you get? Round here 100 is deep.
Actually that's a fairly good point. As someone who lives by part of an is always being subject to the dumb management of the PCT, that whole scene has gotten pretty ridiculous. WAY too many people shitting all over the place every year. Gettin pretty crowded. There are some other options on the west coast that you can put together that uses parts of the PCT but then detours off of it enough that you might be able to get away from the hoards.Have you considered the Colorado Trail?

Yeah - I'd recommend if someone *does* do a thru-hike of the CT, they strongly consider not hiking on the weekends. Hit town and soak in a hot springs/hot tub for a couple days.Actually that's a fairly good point.

I have seen some intermittent shit recently.DNS resolution on the monkey is super-slow for me today. Other sites OK. Huh.
