Those names were doomed.
Been getting lots of rain here and snow in the mountains. Which is good, we were short on our snow levels.
Unfortunately it looks like 9 people were killed in an avalanche near Tahoe.
Really? That's good considering the water-struggle california has year-in year-out.Quote:

Looking at the USDA SNOTEL data for California (it only covers 5 northern basins), there is the same pattern that Idaho is showing: Precipitation is above normal, but snowpack is still well below normal. The storms of the last few days helped fill in the hole, but the hole is still there. We'd need a few more like that to make it to average snowpack.
I went camping up in Bogue Chitto State Park over the weekend. Apparently, there's an enormous wildfire going on close to there that started the day we left.
Like I took I-12 that morning to get to the Northshore to head south and everything was fine, but by the time I got home they had shut down that part of the interstate.
You southerners are strange. Camping in Feb. Sheer lunacy. :)
It was actually warm all day Friday and Saturday then it plunged down to the 40s Sunday morning.
That fire was pretty insane in the path that it took. I jumped the interstate twice in both directions.
Thankfully it happened in an extremely rural part of the state, as of right now, despite 180+ acres being destroyed there's been no report of property damage or lives lost.
That's why fires in Idaho don't make the news very often. We have huge fires each year, but we also have LOTS of wilderness. Some of those fires impact almost nobody. Heck, I ended up walking through one. I hadn't heard of any fires when I set out on a 16 day hike. About halfway through, in the heart of the Frank Church Wilderness, I thought it smelled kind of smoky. Then I stepped over a log, and as I stepped over it, I noticed flames shooting out one end of it. Turns out, I was IN the fire, it was just a low and slow fire just kind of smoldering along over a wide area.
Your jumping capabilities are impressive.Quote:

I guess falling could be considered a vertical jump. It'd be more impressive if you could jump vertically that far in the opposite direction. :)Quote:

Great weather the last couple days. Plenty of sun, in the 70's, suppose to be 78 tomorrow. Such a nice change, we've been under fog/low clouds with no sun for most of the winter. Not very many windy days to clear out the valley.
Yeah, upper 70s in February. What will the summer bring?
My daughter asked me today for some "man tweezers".
She wanted pliers for her costume jewelry.
That's funny. Did you man splain what pliers were???
lol no, it took me a while to figure out what she wanted though.
A week without a post here. Slackers!!!
Egad!
This is as good a place as any to test this:

Well, some tests passed. What did you learn?
I learned that image tags work if you use [img]{{url}}[/img]
url has to die.
url is a person??? I thought it was a mountain range in Russia.
Well, url singular is just one of the mountains.
High 70's today, suppose to get into the 90's next week. That's hot for March here. With such a low amount of snow pack that's not good.
Yeah, this wasn't much of a winter. We aren't as desperately dry as we were when the winter started out, but the snowpack is still really bad.
We had a cool winter that lasted a bit longer. Now it's back to being warm and in about a month it will be hot.
I cannot wait.
Awfully quiet @ here.
We're having record high temps for March, will be like that for a few days. 90 in March, good start for a very hot and dry summer.
We'll be on fire. Not sure how it will end up impacting my bike ride this summer.
I managed to write 5 lines of code today.
In total.
It compiled on the first try.
Not bad for a Thursday....
My wife started making breads.
Just when I thought I couldn't lover her more, she said "hold my beer".
Growing up my dad would bring my brothers and me to church on Sundays.
When we'd leave, we'd go grocery shopping.
We lived out in the country, so it was about a 20-minute drive into town.
As a result, what we'd do is buy two loaves of French bread when we'd go shopping.
One would hold us over on our drive back home.
The other was used for whatever we were eating that night.
Which was typically a ham because my dad would want to use the bone for the red beans the day after.
All that to say that I really really really love bread.
You doing the cross country ride you talked about?Quote:
