Maggie’s What's Your View II

I love it when a homeowner comes out and seeing their system torn apart just turns around.

I hate replacing reversing valves.
 
Photo from top of Jelm Mountain by Michael Brotherton. When I was growing up my father, two brothers, and I used to hunt deer around Jelm Mountain and Red Mountain to the south. We also hunted a ton of prairie dogs around Ring Lake below Jelm. The mountain in the background in Sheep Mountain, and the lake to the right of Sheep Mountain is Lake Hattie. We caught great rainbow trout fishing from the shore of Hattie. That was 50 years ago.

You grow up in Laramie Ron?
 
Gorgeous!!! Some of those slopes seem to be begging for a few linked knee dropping turns!!
Those narrower shots in the middle are calling my name, as are some of the "looser" tree areas.
As are some of those rock drops on the top right of the peak, but I do have sense enough know not to go over 25" these days :cool:
Not sure the base is enough and it makes me think about it.

Im over the libs and crowds and I do miss an early AM skin track, sunrise from up above treelike with hot coffee and a perfect pow run or 3 before heading back to the truck.

At a different mountain, not far from here: I was riding the lift with a friend, many years ago, when we saw two specks climbing the chute on Gunsite Mtn in the pic below. My friend, an ortho Dr. said those guys are nuts and I agreed. We watched their progress as we rode up and skied down a few times and finally they made their run. We continued to question their sanity and then as we got off the lift they came skiing by; it was my 15 year old son and his buddy. 😲 I never had the desire to climb that far and knew my own limitations, so I never tried it. He skied it many times without injury.

One great thing about seeing Frank out in the world is towering over someone besides my 9 yr old, being all of 5’7” myself. 🤣🤣🤣

@clcustom1911 - oh dem shoes!!!! 😍😍

I'm 90% sure I briefly saw him at the Denver airport once a year or so ago. I wasn't about to go running through the terminal to find out if it was him but remember doing a double take when I was walking past the electronic people mover thing he was standing on, going the opposite direction.

I'm also not sure WTF is up with those shoes.

When I first looked at the pic, I thought he was wearing my orange mountain biking shoes.

I bought them because they were ugly...
 
More Context to the pic above:



I loved seeing that in the other picture, especially in regards to the ships namesake, in the back of my mind though I am thinking I hope the upper echelon means it.

All this talk of standowns for extremism and new oaths......I hope that display is a message "American Patriotism and love of our history is not Extremism".
