Hey Gene, we don't mind you "visiting" So. Calif. but the rule is no pictures of our weather. It's enough trouble with the Rose Parade advertising beautiful blue skies.

Rub it in Gene. It's 22 F here and very windy.

I froze. And then froze again. Twice frozen. Did I say I froze yet?
(In case anyone who lives up north comes bragging about their sub-zero temps, I get it, your place is colder. My condolences. I'm still frozen.)

You can have either eARC or Ethernet but not both at the same time. eARC uses the same pair in the cable that was originally allocated to Ethernet. In practice I'm not aware of any equipment that actually runs Ethernet over HDMI.

Wow. That's good to know. Although for the current tv in the audio room I'm using HDMI and wifi. I don't use eARC though.

I believe we got just below freezing last night. I know yesterday's high was around 44 best I could tell, and windy as hell in the morning.
Not ideal short pants weather.

That's because we're old Boonie. The boys around here wear shorts all the time, even in the winter cold. I expect they'd try to scale Mt. Everest in shorts. LOL

For sure. Well I've worn sweats I think 3 times so far this winter, all the other days shorts. But I mean days here in winter usually get up in the 40-50's so not killer cold to me unless it's windy.
Would def prefer 60's. lol.

OK I lied. I would prefer 70's.

Talking about the weather but no one ever DOES anything about it. Wait.....

I went to Basic Training at Ft. Knox in Kentucky. Crappiest weather I've ever been in. Snow/sleet/ice. Yuk!
Did a night compass course in the snow. That was fun. lol. Was pretty easy though.

Having to be in California, you are lucky you don't have this view....

Lucky you.

Well they just need to rake the forests.
I know, not really funny. I hate it for the people affected.

A view toward the backyard. One of our local deer families looking for something good below the snow.

We have received more than two feet of snow since January 1. More is coming tonight.

Another shot of the wildlife.

Take up model railroading, barfle. It can be just as frustrating, perhaps even more.

We need a model railroading section, as Iam getting close to starting my basement layout. Only been planning and buying for 30 yrs
Mainly MTH stuff
Next Wednesday is heavy trash and Iam making room
