drove up to Tahoe for good today with a car full of work toys.

felt ok, but I wasn't trying too hard

still ok, but again, playing very halfassedly.

slow jog around the block. butt felt alright as long as I wasn't going uphill. ankle hurts a bunch (same crash as the butt) and the back was a little sore (from limping around the last two days). but I needed to go do something.

pulled my butt muscle halfway through the game. wow that hurts.

More unpacking and watching it snow. Had a few inches by lunchtime, but then it turned to half rain and started disappearing. Almost gone by the time I left for Reno (which was good because I wasn't looking forward to driving the uhaul down the mountain in a slush fest). Flew back to LA for one more week down here (and to get the car).

There's a trailhead about a block down from the house that ties into a trail around the perimeter of the Tahoe Donner property. Really nice trail, mostly singletrack, steep in places, flat in others, all covered in pine needles. Some of it seems a little like running through people's backyards, but other parts are totally out in the woods. About an hour into it it started to get dark, and I didn't really know how long the loop I was doing was anyway, so I bailed out to a road and headed in the direction I figured was home. Then it start raining. Wow I live somewhere that it rains. How cool is that? I sortof recognized the street names from all the wandering I did looking at houses, but not enough to know how to get home. Especially in the dark. Wow I live somewhere that it gets dark. Real dark, not LA dark. How cool is that? Eventually hit a big road that I knew where it went, and followed that back. Started snowing towards the end, and was thoroughly frozen by the time I got home. Sortof guessing at the distance.
