Just got off the line at the Davis fire. Thankfully on days. They put us up in hotels as we were told there are no available shower or sleeper trailers, all committed to incidents. Now it’s So Cals...

So after a 20 year hiatus from the game I’ve gotten back into it this summer because there’s not a lot else to do in the desert. I played competitively in high school and have been hitting a bucket...

Lots of pucker factor all over the west going into this weekend. Record heat wave with the potential for dry lightning. We're attempting to upstaff engines.

I like my M&P 10. I put heavier recoil springs in it and the G20 as I carry 220 grains while elk hunting. I’ve toyed with getting a 460 conversion kit down the road…just to say I have one. I also...

Kind of a 1cm whore, I own 4. Curios to hear how that 220 runs with various ammo and if it needs any tweaking. I'd love to own one some day. Sounds like the Xten's, like a lot of new 10mm, were...

Formula 1 is entertaining again.

That would be rad, bring a fly rod as well as we're real close to Pyramid.

Nada as well, bought the lifetime license for the kid and I before we bailed though so I be in the resident quota for life. Heck of a deal.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for your family L2S

Here a good podcast that covers dog nutrition, aimed at sporting breeds, but if you have an active dog it’s applicable. Covers nutrition, bloat, protein metabolism etc....

Boeing firefighters are locked out starting tomorrow due to inability to reach a new contract agreement with management. Boeing brought in contract scans to cover. Odd times.

Here’s an update after working in TC for a couple months and commuting from Idaho…we get the keys to our house in Ferntucky next week. We struck out multiple times in Carson. It was cheaper to buy in...

It depends on the tag/zone. Some have early archery bull that turn into rifle cow later. Many however are single weapon/season, especially if there’s a controlled hunt in that zone. For example...

My gut reaction is not in my lifetime, but then again finger thoracotomies and blood products are becoming a norm so who knows.

That’s why the Lucas device was invented. And with how good they are, there are CPR induced consciousness sedation protocols floating around. I’ve worked codes where the patient is gripping handrails...

The finest in my collection, also going down too fast.

Appreciate all the vibes. I made it home. Process seems to be running its course. Real bummed for Mrs Snapt.

I'm away from the wife and kiddo for a few weeks starting a new gig. She had a 10 week appointment for thing number 2. 7 week was all good, now, no heartbeat. We were cautioned to not panic yet but...

My commute from Blackfoot to Driggs thats usually an hour 20 took 3 this morning, and 33 was the best part of the drive. Got pounded by lightning while snowing in the snake river plane all morning....

Pappy 23 is not good. Skip that one. Seriously.

I went to Japan with my ex who had lived there and she was adamant I keep my tattoos covered as folks would think I was Yakuza. Our friends born and raised there thought it was hilarious that she...

Tahoe City for work 2 days a week. We'd prefer Reno/Carson/City/Sparks/Minden. Not under any illusions we could afford Truckee at the moment. Toddler and 2 dogs make it a little more challenging.

Well my marathon week has come an end. With job offer accepted. Now the hunt for housing starts in earnest. If any mags have a line on a rental that dog friendly ping me. Perhaps I can sneak out for...

Voltaren NSAID gel is a goddsend on the hands. Costco has the best price on the big tubes. It's mostly metabolized via fat so it takes it much easier on your kidney's than oral NSAIDs.

Welp they closed 80 on me. Shocked out how cheap I got a room in TC. And for all the shit people talk about California god bless your fine establishments that still serve cocktails to go.

How spicy is my drive gonna be over Donner Summit tomorrow? Likely will pass through around 8pm.

It literally cost me 98 cents for two scrips when the wife and I had it over the holidays. Back to normal after the first pill. Get some lemons drops on hand as it leaves a real shifty taste in your...

Casey Collins at Habitat does good work. He worked at skinny skis for a long time.

3/2 is more than adequate.

Looks real nice compared to Blackfoot…



That would be fantastic. We’ll have to drag you down for a late season hunt and pyramid session. The waterfowl scene is slightly intriguing and I still...

I live in a Methy town and commute to a ski town for work through summer traffic, construction, storms that often close the highways etc so I’m used to all of that. Usually on the road around 0500 to...

TC or KB. SFH is ideal. But we could do a condo so long as it had a small yard for the pups. 90 min drive is fine. I’m amicable to longer for the right spot.

I recently tossed a job application in for a job in North Tahoe. I read some pre pandemic threads about Reno neighborhoods for commuters but I'm wondering what's still relevant in 2024 after the...

Afton

Heard there was an incident up Mail Cabin as well but no other details.

Stateline it was, per TCISAR facebook post


The TCISAR team has come such a long ways since I moved here. Props to those folks for getting everyone home on a cold, dangerous night.

SAR response on the pass.

There’s a couple hip young lawyers out there who are acting as agents for action sports athletes/influencers negotiating contracts for a cut.

Antique doesn’t exactly bring the heat but to each their own.

Well the last 12 months went by in a blink. Hello toddlerhood!

The Bernheim Barrel Strength is another good wheater. Comes out of Heaven Hill as well.

Y'all are killin me!

Still awaiting ECBP C923 to hit Idaho. Anyone have one they’d want to trade?

Kiddo turns 1 here in 2 weeks, crazy how fast it's gone. He's been on his feet since 7 months and by now has really good balance and can run, hop etc and enjoys moshing around in the snow. Any recs...

Underrated advice for folks who live in paradise. Usually the health care is sub par at best, worth the drive to a big city facility rather than seeing the Podiatrist who’s staffing the ER for the...

Little Alaska Burger hut in Hakuba. The vending machine at Hakuba Powder lodge for a beer. Bring skis or you maybe end up on blades for rentals. 3 days is pretty brief to figure out all the nuances...

Ducks open 7.5 favorites over the dawgs.

I was morbidly going to look up avy fatalities on these lean el niño years but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Shitsu's are the new cockers!

We applied with several brokers (MIL works in real estate) and even with the friends and family connection nobody could touch Idaho Central. Our mortgage person is awesome and has worked super close...
