Another brisk day at 7°F w a slight breeze. Made a few laps, but legs are tired on day 26 of the season. Yesterday the Frenchman's chairlift broke down and people needed to be evacuated. They were lowered from the chair to the ground by rope and harness. In one instance it took an hour and 10 minutes after the lift stopped to get down, some may have waited even longer.

I always glance at the sleds to remind myself of the risk on my way by the Patrol Shack. Not sure why the flag is at 1/2 staff.

Thank you. Fortunately they were mid-mountain out of the wind and in the sun. It's absolutely frigid in the shade. Hopefully they didn't have to pee!

@againstthegrain, that reminds me of one of my favorite movies, where three college students get stuck on a chairlift at a ski mountain that is open only on weekends. It's actually pretty good!

@hawkdon, I'm glad you got your door un-stuck! I had to use a hair dryer to un-freeze one of my windows one time. It had gotten stuck open, and temperatures were falling fast.

Busy day today! I worked hard and got two assignments completed and sent out, then I met a friend for coffee. I stopped by the grocery store on the way home, and I have one more assignment to finish before I can kick back for an hour or so before going to bed.

I hope everyone had—or is having, depending on where you are—a good day.

Guys dya remember DD's Little puppy Lenny ? ..she calls him Lenny the Loon because he's into everything as he would be as a 6 month old pup, and just enjoys everything...

so she made this poster...
At the top are the names in memory of the beloved dogs we lost on the same day 2 years ago.. Stan, & Digger as they were PTS together and at the bottom she's signed off as made in the Pixielicious studios... which is the name of her 15 year old Chihuahua who is Lenny's mentor and surrogate mother

Per above post, spent several hours mis-processing the first 3 of my GoPro 11 in several ways, until I got it correct. Then recorded a short process of notes to do so and have since knocked off 9 with 8 more left I should work through tomorrow. Various online shotcut directions for performing various operations are rather pathetic mainly because many people on the web today (especially on YouTube) have poor teaching skill abilities to explain how to do things to others without basic knowledge.

A common problem regardless of intelligence due to not understanding how to explain technical things to others that lack even basic knowledge of how to do something. Most common is using terms for objects or processes that mean nothing to those others. In this era at least one can web search to understand what they were referring to. Something teachers must learn but many others never.

When I worked in engineering that was a continual issue with all manner of documentation and data books as many even intelligent educated persons cannot adequately put themselves easily in the position of those that understand far less.
