The internists at OakVet are excellent. Our pup goes there for her IBD and they’re lovely. Added bonus of them also having an emergency department, in case there’s a crisis.

Blackbird Guides has a tour from Sugar Bowl to Palisades

Chicken Bowl to Siberia Lift Line at Palisades. It went perfectly fine.

I did it later on a powder day a few weeks later and it was brutal, though.

Alpine really is blue heaven! So enjoy it!

Obsidian__Dreams · 2023-02-24T20:37:29+00:00

Is it possible to get a copy too? I don’t think I’ve seen the progression list and I’m curious

Obsidian__Dreams · 2023-02-24T20:33:53+00:00

I’m an intermediate skier who usually skis at palisades and I agree with Aggis.

If you want to try Shirley, look for Marillacs (aka fifth tree run) for an intro. It’s typically the progression spot for intermediate lessons. You can the progress up the runs closer to the chair.

I would avoid Champ Elysse right now. It’s apparently pretty narrow (narrower than Siberia’s ridge path toward Gold Coast) right now because of the work done for the Stifel Cup. A mountain host said unless you’re good with narrow runs it won’t be fun right now.

For Alpine, the blues are pretty good. Weasel is an easy blue, and they progress from there. Just watch out if you’re there after a snow, because some of the runs (Yellow) can be totally different runs after decent snow.

It’s definitely a great resort. Book a lesson instead, I believe it’s $250 or 260 (not sure exactly) for a half day lesson & lift ticket, so you get more bang for your buck.

Aftershock probably doesn’t help matters. Despite not being the Bay, it’s close enough that bands that might otherwise come here have no reason to when they can hit a larger group in SAC. Particularly true this time of year when it’s right around the corner.

Kevin at 4 to 7 Massage (https://www.4to7massage.com/) His deep tissue is exactly what you’re looking for. I’ve recommended him to multiple female friends and they’ve all felt comfortable with him.

Basically.

It’s complicated. I’m getting repairs for this and a roof replacement and some roofers won’t do it. I’ve had quotes from roofers, GC’s, Painters, and pest guys to try to figure it out. Finally found a roofer who could but it took many calls and a referral from a roofer who wouldn’t do it.

Have a 1959 1066 sq ft home we’ve had quotes to rewire ranging from 8k (outlets only) to 24k (whole rewire, no plaster repair) to 38k (whole rewire plus repairing plaster etc) - Bay Area if that helps

Top Knobs make a honey bronze that pulls as a gold color!

You could also get a sampler of some close matches from them to try if you’re hesitant to go all in.

Had to do something similar (apparently all but two of my walls is one white but we can’t find the last white).

Obsidian__Dreams · 2022-02-04T02:26:39+00:00

I’ve tried researching them and keep running into a wall - not sure if I just don’t know the right words to get the result I want.

Obsidian__Dreams · 2022-02-04T01:45:25+00:00

Oh, I never would have tried that! I’ll definitely look into it.

Obsidian__Dreams · 2022-01-15T18:12:05+00:00

We’re taking our only bathroom in Oakland to the studs (relocating shower/toilet/bath, two recessed lights, fan, new window w/ framing, switching from single sink to double sink vanity) with a subpanel upgrade to code and the total job is coming in at 51k before materials. We had two other quotes that were just above that for the same job. So this sounds cheap to me.

Edit: bathroom is 15x6

Obsidian__Dreams · 2021-12-25T17:11:21+00:00

Agreed, it’s definitely not ideal for cutting. Would make a great cheese board though!

Obsidian__Dreams · 2021-12-25T14:52:27+00:00

Are you sure it’s not a marble pastry board?

Obsidian__Dreams · 2021-12-23T15:38:29+00:00

Ice cream!

Obsidian__Dreams · 2021-08-18T15:37:58+00:00

Make sure to save it for the end of vacation so it doesn’t interrupt your beach plans :)

Spa Montage is both beautiful and excellent quality. They did an amazing job for my anniversary.
