Only a Day Away

When Spring was only a day away ...





The forecast says that more of this is on the way.

Longboards Sesquicentenial

I have posted about the historic Longboard ski races before: here and here (both with video links); but this weekend is something even more special: It was here, 150 years ago, that the first downhill ski races in the world were held. As described in Forbes magazine a few years ago, "... raced by drunken miners with boards the size of telephone poles strapped to their feet". This weekend that spirit (and those spirits) will be revived again. Come join the fun if you can.

There are several events planned, but the Longboard World Championships are Sunday, March 20th from 11AM to 4PM at the Plumas-Eureka Ski Bowl (map). As the poster above says, it promises to be "The world's greatest ever gathering of longboard revival ski racers".

The day after:

Yes, the sky is this color.

Hopefully no plans 'til Spring.

Remnants of last week's storm sliding off a roof yesterday as we await the next big one today and tomorrow.

Today the ogre brought a fire-breathing friend to play.

Rafters

A rafter of turkeys outside my classroom window early Friday morning.

Taking advantage of the recent good weather, the windows are in and shingles are being put on the rafters of the Learning Resource Center.
