I asked my wife while in one of the lift lines if she would like to skin up some runs instead of waiting in lines on such days (when we're up here because all 3 kids have programs)
she said she'd rather wait in said lines. so here we are

Family lifting day. I skipped bench today and did only one set on deadlift as the bar felt heavy after during squats (and curls, and box jumps). Wife sat this one out but kids joined in.

three screenshots from Saturday because why notSkied. Long lines but mostly < 15 min. Good snow. Not cold, and sunny. Good day overall. Drove back post skiing for a shorter weekend for the girls.

so where this water came from is still a mystery. my best guess is that the floor drain got sluggish and then the water softener and house humidifier's output into it just exceeded its capacity for a bit
insurance crew hasn't even made its way out yet so going to cancel on them. I'll pull the carpet up outside the door and run an industrial fan at it for a few days--that's what they would have done anyway.
also got a 50' drill-attached auger and a 50' borescope camera coming from amazon, as that plus the fan is still cheaper than calling out a plumber would be. I didn't unearth anything with my 25' hand powered auger setup this morning but the water level was unnervingly only a few inches below floor level.
"Buy a new house," they said...
got steam cleaning set up for Friday as well with a company with the big van-mounted unit and all. $149 flat rate for 5 rooms, 1 hallway, no stairs, up to 1000 sq ft of carpet. that should cover the basement and maybe I'll have them do a bit of upstairs to finish out (the basement being 900something square feet but also new carpet so the only area I care about is by the mechanical room).
greenish water from hot tub drained a few days ago, and today I got it clean enough to refill and such

Scrubbed off grime with polishing pads (and more effectively) a magic eraser + elbow grease + window cleaner. Rinsed it out, sucked up residue with my shop vac. Now refilling it! I bypassed the water softener since I don’t want soft water for this in the first place and so as to not burn...

Solo lifting day—I’m working a 4-10 pm shift today so now’s the time to do it. Deadlift still felt heavy but I got through 3 sets of 8.

posting for my future reference post-ski season
Land Cruiser will need an oil change and I am getting the feeling it could use some new shocks as well. getting more pitching motions when coming to a stop now, and it is 187k miles old, after all. I have AHC/AVC and would like to keep it so will go to a specialist shop, but I don't need Slee's services since I want to remain stock.

I might need to bribe you with some curry bread or shuttling me and S to GGSP to ride with you and borrow that if possible once snow season is over.
I bought one last year, but accidently got the "soft" cabled version and it won't get around the underground pipe bend I need to check. The hiring cost from HD is stupid money for half a day and when we got it the underground pipe was still blocked with ice so wasted money.
It couldn’t get around the bend in the floor drain so is going back. Apparently I got the same crappy one!
Goings on
got carpet cleaned in basement and on main floor, too
replaced the other side 3rd row seat cover. This one is cloth due to me apparently ordering the wrong part but at least it’s the right color.
packed full to head to mountains—both 3rd row seats up since we have my FIL
deck needed shoveling, so it was done. Snow left from last weekend compacted down to ice but now that it’s uncovered maybe it’ll melt?

Potatocam quality but evidence that yes, these 116 mm width skis get up on edge just fine

'tis factually correct
The sublimation of solid ice happens just as quickly as the evaporation of liquid water
One might expect water to evaporate much faster than ice. Surprisingly, researchers from the University of Amsterdam have now shown that for small droplets of ice, this is not the case: ice and water droplets disappear equally quickly. This explains a fact that skiers know well: freshly fallen...
happens below freezing regularly here. air is comparatively less moist and it just wafts off over time
planning out more summer things. kids camps have been long nailed down. going to do this Glenwood Springs trip (hot springs, rafting, mountain adventure park, cavern exploring) and a Colorado Springs one as well (Great Wolf Lodge with all that entails, and the cog railway).
then local horsie riding as there's a stable in Cherry Creek State Park that'll do two up parent + little kid riding for our Baby Aya, with the bigger kids on their own horses. A Basin ropes course and zip lining out of Conifer also on the docket.
going to boost the Colorado tourist economy, we will.
$329 is for all 5 of our tickets together. it's slow. but that price is fine by me in exchange for not driving and having room to stretch out, walk, see canyon walls etc.
I guess for $66 a ticket that isn't bad.
When I took it, it was part of a trip from Toronto -> Niagara Falls -> Buffalo -> Chicago -> Denver. It was something stupid like 36 hours of travel or something. Including a train switch in Buffalo - where the station is out in the middle of no where and I was stuck there twiddling my thumbs for 4 hours.
I could be wrong trying to remember, but I think the ticket was somewhere around $550. Cheaper than flying for sure, but still expensive.
But way better and less sketchy than taking the greyhound across the US, which I've done as well.
I'd meant to message you and say there's an archery range in Bear Creek Lake Park that your young archer might enjoy. I know nothing about it, other than I ride past it on the C-470 trail occasionally (like on this past Saturday).

cool, thanks for the tip. she's happy with our backyard mini range setup for now, and one of her chosen camps this year out in Washington has archery.I'd meant to message you and say there's an archery range in Bear Creek Lake Park that your young archer might enjoy.

I watch approaching drivers like a hawk, with my flashing Outbound helmet light directed towards them

Popped my sweet Baby Aya’s bike on the back of the cargo bike and rode back with her from preschool at her pace. Figured I should take advantage of this spring-like weather since I have flexibility today.

hopefully we'll see some more employee housing and new, larger lifts. Explorer and Olympia definitely should be 6 packs at this point.

but if one can avoid the crowds there for a fresh run it is
... only to become trapped in the corral for Eagle Wind to get out of there
