I need this in my life.

Triple Decadence World Wide Stout 4pk, 12 fl. oz. Bottles

Raise a glass to 30 years of off-centered innovation with Dogfish Head’s Triple Decadence World Wide Stout. This 15% ABV imperial stout is aged in wood barrels from three iconic barrel-aged brews: our Palo Santo Marron Ale and Let’s Get Lost Whiskey along with Sam Adams’ Utopias. With notes of rich coffee, vanilla, and warming sweetness, this limited release ale offers a port-like depth and a full-bodied finish. It’s bold, complex, and brewed to age. Just like the journey it celebrates..

It’s phenomenal and worth a pick up.

Even though temps were in the 50s today the look of the clouds and the bare trees totally triggered my snow jones.

Fresh Bluefin Tuna. Paid 14 bucks. Imagine what this would have cost in a restaurant. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and Japanese Seven spice. Fuck yeah.

Welcome to the high Sierra Cordillera, Lucy's Washington DC Edition 2025.

It finally managed to fall to 32 degrees. Ground FINALLY managed to eke out a white coating. This, at 9,000 feet in the Sierra in mid to late November!

It's finally cold enough for snow at 9,000 feet and the snow is super light. Damn. Out of moisture. Sound familiar, DC'ers? We're playin the Lucy game here at Mammoth this winter! Local meteorologists up here are frazzled and humbled as storm tracks end up all over the place! They are not even sure that Mammoth will ever see enough snow to open up at all anytime soon! That damn RADAR is making me want to walk the Ledge again! All the heavy stuff is moving northwest, AWAY from Mammoth! DAMN!

Its been so damn bad up here that the resort was forced to POSTPONE the Saturday Opening! Why, you ask?

NO SNOW! Just mud.

It's called La Nina.

That means warmer than normal in the Sierras, Deep South and Texas. Cold as fuck in the Midwest, Great Lakes and Mid Atlantic and the Northeast will be particularly hard hit with Ice Age-magnitude cold and snows.

At this rate I will soon be so despondent about thin snows at Mammoth, that I will soon be ripe for reaping.

It's THAT BAD!

Gonna have to develop some snow futility markers for up here! Like the fact that it hits 32 degrees then bounces back up to 33 - all night long. This ensures hardly more than an inch accumulates - even though it snows hard as heck all night, like last night.

Good wins for the Hoos today.  Pounded Duke (offense finally showed up after being MIA for a few weeks).  And in basketball, man - we haven't played high level teams yet, but the team is looking good.  Dropped 104 on Marshall.

I haven’t done any raking yet this year, but I just looked out front under my huge swamp maple, and I think I’ll get away with just my annual late, leveling the grass, snow-prep mowing.
