Snow Summit say Chair 7 and Log Chute are open, which makes a return
visit worthwhile. Tomorrow???!!!

Bear Mountain is working on Chair 4's slopes, which would make a visit
worthwhile when open.

Mammoth hasn't opened anything since I was up there two weeks ago.


Not here, Heavenly, [realistically,] has two lifts, three runs,
Dipper, Orion, Comet, and 4th, if you count the California Trail, and
5th, if you like the long traverse/glide, Crossover, and with Ante-up
terrain park open, it'd be hand-full for you flatlanders already.

What we really need is "snow!" I do my part of snow dancing,

Today Chair 9 (who cares?) and some new trails are listed as open.
Gotta go tomorrow. *My son says he want to go Friday. *We can do both.


Now if Bear Mountain could just catch up.


Damn truck wouldn't start

-click- *-click-

At least it happened in my driveway.


Auto Club towed it to the dealer and it started first try.

Good news - Bear Mountain opened Chair 4 today - so now it's worth
going there.

Had a brand new 85 Nissan car that had exactly such symptoms, consistently.

Dealer couldn't diagnose, but I eventually figured it out with the help
of others with the same problem (had to meet them individually broken
down along the road - no intratubes yet) Idiot Nissan engineers used a
mechanical fuel pump mounted next to the exhaust manifold and the pump
would vapor lock just like those wonderful old cars we all imagine we'd
like back. Added a wrecking yard electric pump in lead position tandem
with the existing pump and no more problems. I can't to this day believe
any automotive engineer would do such a thing.

I still won't look at Nissans when I shop for cars - given the Japanese
corporate group-loyalty crap, the guy probably runs their quality
control now. Idiot.

The dealer found that oil is leaking slowly from the valve cover
gaskets and dripping onto the starter motor. Starter motor is crap
now.

New starter = $100. New gaskets = $20. Installing new gaskets =
$1200.

That's how I now feel about Gubmint Motor Corp.

I'm in the market for a 3/4 ton diesel pu. And would love to get the
GMC. But as long as they are obama motors I will buy something else.

I don't know how much GM stock Obama owns, but the federal government
is down to about 33% ownership and may yet break even on the bailout
with GM.

Holy ****. This teabagging asshole is ****ed off that Obama saved
hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Good. Buy a Japanese truck, government didn't bail them out and you
hate the American working man.

As long as you're reading your buddy Baghdad Bob, any comment on his
comparing me to Saddam Hussein? Saying I should be tried and hanged
for the crime against rsa humanity of exposing both of you as
pathologically lying cowards?
Happy to discuss this with SPD. Contact info? Maybe that cop has a
GMC pickup, you never know.
