My house is right around 5800 feet. But on the Eastern Sierra so we're sheltered by the "rain shadow affect". We don't usually get as much snow as the Western side of the Sierra.

The snow levels are holding pretty high right now but are expected to drop this weekend with an approaching cold front. We'll see how much precipitation actually makes it over the big hill to the desert side.

Okay, you can roll over my share of the winnings (that you spread to me) too. Let me know how much our winnings grow to once we hit all of the numbers!

How do you win the lotto and only get 3 bucks? Awful small lotto if you ask me.

Heard Friday nite it'll be around 1000 feet but no snow here, still a lil too high. You might get some slush.

Simple, you spend about 35 bucks on a bunch of tickets and when you finally go check them at store, voila, 3 dollars matching mega numbers. Pretty sucky odds huh?

Happy friday FTE. I'm over in Santa Clara for work until the 30th. On an FTE note, I'm using an F750 for a while, and will be working on an older F700 this weekend. The F700 is getting a few adjustments to pep it up.

Turbo, intercooler, bigger injectors, and 5:38 gears right?

Happy Friday FTE! Still no rain, but at least it looks like it might rain today, the past three days have been sunny and a bit humid.

5.38 would be too steep. This round I'm just doing fuel rate, rpm, and timing. He may do turbo and injectors later when it gets an overhaul.

Well, the 700 is a big heavy truck, gotta put those 5:38's in it to get it movin' off the line in a hurry!

Well, against my better judgement, I activated my 2nd Eve account, so now I have a person to mine ice, while Suki gives her bonuses in the Orca. Or when doing missions she can keep my shield up, and repair my drones.
