The view changes a bit through polarized sunglasses. ;)

The mountains, trees, and water of Lake Tahoe

It was certainly a beautiful area.  This was the view from a nearby ski lodge.  We drove up to take a look. :)

You can tell winter is here…

…by the pieces and parts of cats that are hanging out from under the dresser where the furnace blows, haha.

Andy working on his dynos… Dymnamic climbs. He’s a beast for sure…

 

Just another pretty shot of the mountains around Lake Tahoe

We were staying in South Lake Tahoe.  It was right on the California/Nevada state line.  It was nice to be able to take little rides out to see this kind of beauty while we did our final prep for race day. :)

Andy has been known to sleep just about anywhere…

Julie came in to find him HERE one day after his nap time… I was on my trip to Lake Tahoe, so she decided she better capture this shot.

Isaac thought this looked a little “fire hazardy“

I think I kind of agree with him… ;-)

It's not obvious what I'm doing here, but I have a battery powering the AC adapter to my laptop, then I have a second battery charging the first battery at the same time. I can get three hours of runtime from the two batteries and another few hours from the laptop battery. The batteries did get warm, but their internal fans kicked in too…

My mom and I had a few minutes to enjoy the sights of Linden, Michigan last weekend

This is a beautiful view on a pre-race ride

We were starting to get excited about what the ride around lake Tahoe held for us to see. :)

Enjoying nature while on a pre-race walk in Tahoe

The blue bird was really pretty and interesting.

Surprisingly, my mom had pictures to share…

…along with stories backed up by diary entries I'm sure!  Her nephew Jim is shown here enjoying the memories with her.

Back to modern day and road trip with my mom last weekend.

We were off to see the visitation for on of her nephews.  Bob Morey.  A decent way to spend a Sunday together❣️

The big weekend at Tahoe

In a couple pics on my RetroBlog, I hinted at training for a 100-mile bike rode around Lake Tahoe.  Well, here we are the day before our big event (with my riding partner for the day).  It was certainly a beautiful vista!

Random pic from Spain

I don't know why this was out of sequence in my photo albums, but I thought it was worth sharing anyhow.

The benefits of 21…

For the longest time, Johnny has wanted a nice big revolver to shoot.  Well, now that he's turning 21, he can get one.  So, what did we do to celebrate his birthday? We went shopping for guns.  Savannah, he and I enjoyed browsing and happened to stumble on EXACTLY the brand and model he wanted at a great price, so… Stay tuned.
