More precip forecast to fall starting with rain showers then turning to snow then back to rain back to snow as temp fluctuates calling for near a foot of snow per the snow lovers or haters enjoyment or hatred. So far at 10 AM temp is 33 degrees at 3960′ elevation, precip is liquid. Hanging here at the overlook in anticipation of being snowed in. So far action is just rain and I have healthy windshield wipers that I did park off the windshield last night. No need or want to drive anywhere, I am prepared. Internet is slow here is only drawback. Burning the cat infra heater does not need battery power which makes the faint solar gain sufficient to maintain sufficient juice. Drawback is heavy condensation on inside of windows and clammy 51 % humidity. Tomorrow is mechanical detachment of Propex, my hope is that roads I will travel are plowed. I do not like to drive this van on snow. Yesterday I saw water flowing in Dry Beaver creek along side rt 179. Dirt is wetted but so far temps have not been low enough to freeze the ground.
I now own a Mighty portable vaporizer. It allows a larger charge that I fill to resulting in inhalation of more good stuff meaning a bigger buzz. Getting buzzed where the previous units just teased me. I count 6 hits per session. I burn thru my stash faster now, it’s just money.
Pot. Except for the several seasons that I was very focused on getting as much effort as my body would give for mtn bike racing I have been a daily consumer since 1969. Speaking of just my odyssey time copping was and is interesting. CO legalized rec pot in 2014. That year I bought legally for the first time in CO while my bike was being serviced at a bike shop near by. And while in the state I had no apprehension of being searched for pot. OR and WA legalized years later as have other states. Being able to buy inspected pot in a dispensary and legally possess it is satisfying as it lessens paranoia which comes from the high level of THC. The stories of street cops in no rec sales and punishment states were numerous and creative. Street cops are as good as the seller and from the grower, you accepted their word that it was mold and chemical free and the weight was just. Somehow over time the price for a quarter has remained $80. Dispensary prices fluctuate from street price sometimes dependent upon THC content.
I ventured outside for a short walk in a sucker hole. I made shelter before next squall so I will call it just a weather window versus a true sucker hole where one is adversely weathered on. Otherwise creating this and watching intermittent snow squalls.
And life continues in my 66 square foot box.
