Let's not forget rule number 1 at the boat launch (assuming they eventually get the boat trailer to the water's edge) which is to leave all the truck doors wide open while parked on the ramp. Holiday weekends are a good time to break out the lawn chairs and watch the comedy.

The Sierras make a nice backyard.

Went for a hike and a swim at Powell lake in the emigrant wilderness (not to be confused with Lake Powell in UT)

I would imagine it is metric since it's a Japanese engine.

Drove to the top of Mt Patterson yesterday (11,673 feet).

Sardine falls this morning

There is the option of not eating out. We pretty much gave up that habit when COVID hit in early 2020.

Took a hike yesterday to Sword lake in the Carson Iceberg wilderness. Lunch and a swim.

We live in the Sierra foothills too. I think it's less about which type of mower you use (we use an rfm) and more about how much time you spend clearing rocks (box scraper). We've built lots of rock walls from the 7ac we cleared around the house.

Took a hike to Waterhouse lake in the emigrant wilderness yesterday.

Went up to Glacier Point today for the first time. The two waterfalls to the right of half dome are the ones we hiked last month.

Hiked up to Sonora Peak yesterday.

I once used my samurai to pull my busted rv off I-5. Granted I needed 4-low to move it, but we made it safely off the freeway. I always view towing a car as an insurance policy for when the RV breaks down.

When we bought our current place, I mowed a giant peace sign in one of the uncut pastures (about 1 ac in size). Kept it mowed that way long enough for Google satellite to snap a good picture.

Went for hike at Hetch Hetchy today
