Close to another foot of snow in most ski areas, which is good as the snowpack is still only 50% of typical. As the latest snow was very dense, the avalanche threat is very high. The prediction is folks will trigger one or more avalanches this weekend. Hopefully no fatalities will occur.

Quote from Bo Peep: “My latest scone creation...chocolate espresso. When reviewing the photo, I realized the sparkling sugar looks like salt which gave me the idea to (next time) sprinkle them with sea salt and drizzle with caramel sauce. I couldn’t help it and ate one this afternoon (after drinking a cup of coffee). At spin class tonight, I started having palpitations from the caffeine and chocolate, lol. It only lasted 15-30 seconds. ” Might try drizzling the caramel first and then sprinkling …

Have two Morakniv knives I bought in Sweden long ago. One is paring size while the other is just at 9”. While not considered a true chef knive, they serve a wide variety of roles in the kitchen.

Once on campus, stopped at the fitness center, showered, changed clothes, and went to class. When I needed to park on campus (library and labs), I used a piece of paper under the wiper to mimic a ticket.

A buddy has this bike and he’s very happy with it. In fact so pleased, he equipped it and rode across the US last summer. He initially thought no fenders...extra weight, but after several days in the rain he grew exasperated with mud coating the bike and him. He picked up a set of plastic fenders and using hardware store metric fasteners along with zip ties, finished the trip with no issues. Rather than enduring the expense of panniers, he mounted a pair of kitty litter plastic containers to a r…
