Thunderbird Club

[scuzzy]

Played the new bird yesterday at rehearsal. I'm genuinely shocked at how versatile and fitting the sounds were for the music. It fit great and sounded great. Was also incredibly comfortable for the entire rehearsal.

Winner winner!

First accumulating snow. We only got an inch, but a couple of miles west there was 4" on the ground.

That's already likely more than Seattle will get for the whole winter

bark....

Is that ?

Yes it is, fortunately. My office upstairs has the same view. Better than at work that's for sure!

I love the smell of hot tubes in the morning (or anytime). Hot caps not so much....

That did it, now I'm really really homesick

And more than the LA area will get in the next century.

Not an insignificant part of the reason I chose to move to Sacramento. If I ever get the feelings of missing winter in the mountains, I just need to drive about an hour or so due easterly...

Wow! That is awesome. Maybe I need to plan a trip to Kentucky.

I'm fine with that. It's nice to look at but nasty to deal with. Yeah, chances of me moving to Canada are -3210. Not till a good deal of global warming gets there first!

I'll turn the bed down in the spare room where you can stay while looking for a place. Bring a bass or two if you don't mind! Bring your clubs as well. You'll have to go solo there as I don't know a thing about golf. I do have about 5 donated golf balls ready for you.

C'mon over. I'll leave the light on! Just bring something artistically shaped and in blue of you don't mind!

I miss Sacto. I still have an office in Rancho, but I haven’t been to it since February.

My usual skiing destination as of a couple of minutes ago.

And no one skiing as the government decided that... Well I don;t know what they were thinking, but they closed skiing.

Outside the front door, no snow.

I love a whiff of ozone when starting up anything electrical. It smells like the space age!

Nice! Our favorite for decades has been Heavenly, 90 mins east of Sacto. They’re open with COVID measures in place. Don’t think we’re going this year and didn’t last year; we usually go for a week in March. But we’ve been talking about planning the ‘22 trip now.

Completely understandable. A use of gravity (controlled fall) down a mountain is far more dangerous other things. Just looking out for those who want to challenge Newtonian physics.

Has anyone seen the milk jug that was by the door ready to go out with the garbage...?

My daughter did her first black diamond run here:

I want to take her skiing at these two (once travel is allowed again)
