SpaceX launch is still scheduled for this evening at 6:08 PM. Because this one is so long after sunset, it will take a good 4-5 minutes to reach sunlight. Be sure to watch this one through at least 6:20 PM. It will become more brilliant the higher it goes. This launch is almost straight up, instead of a more traditional low-earth orbit trajectory.

Per Caltrans: All Chain Restrictions have been lifted in the San Bernardino Mountains, however, you must always carry chains when travelling to the mountains in the winter months. For the latest road conditions visit socalmountains.com/roads

Took the doggos 🐶🐕 out for a walk along the North shore.... Roads are decent.... Just a bit icy in the shadowed corners ... Probably will be melted n a couple more hours. Just be aware the wet road will probably freeze up (black ice) later tonight when the temps drop

So razz, do you interview and vet your renters? Lady i work for goes through a comprehensive interview and vetting process, and if anything is the least bit suspicious she wont rent the house. My duties in retirement are just to maintain the spas and i do some creative spying always at a different time. Sometimes more than once. My owner has an excellent nose for funny business, i can put you two in touch if you like...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:

White stuff failing again, mush-sleet.

WEATHER UPDATE:
Big Bear City is now reporting RAIN. Temp 36F

Oh man, Raz. That is so disheartening to hear. These homes are opened up to them to enjoy for the holidays and there’s just no respect anymore. What is the matter with people these days? Sorry it’s impacting you and your holidays, Raz. Chin up and look out for the good folks as we are here for you.

Sorry to hear Razz.... Such huge disappointment with the visitors.
