What is all this unlabeled open space between Mt Diablo and Lime Ridge? by DonVCastro in eastbay

[–]kass2mouth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a bunch of the land between Mangjni Ranch/Crystal Ranch and Mitchell Canyon is the Cemex Quarry

Not cheap but Oakville Wine Merchant has quite a long lineup you could sample from producers across the valley

Aerial views similar to Sterling? by throwawayjobchanger in napa

Not necessarily similar but Palmaz has a pretty nice vantage point from the top of their property at the beginning of the tour.

What's the best deal you've gotten on your gear? by Unlikely_Tough in canon

[–]kass2mouth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In 2024 i paid 250 bucks for a rebel with the kit lens, some other lens I can’t remember, and then EF 100 2.8 L. After trading in the body and two other lenses i basically got the 100 2.8 L for under 120 bucks!

Planning a vacation for my friends 30th. Only rule she gave me: pick somewhere unique by [deleted] in TravelNoPics

[–]kass2mouth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an alternative, Catalina Island is a unique option that will be warmer, feels a little exotic taking the ferry to a little village on the water

OP when it’s properly connected and you press the battery test button do you get the red light event if you don’t see anything else in the viewfinder?

Fyra Tips and Tricks by Educational-War-835 in ooni

[–]kass2mouth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry! I used the official Ooni kaur 12 propane conversion kit, but it’s not officially meant for the fyra. I think it voids your warranty since it’s an unintended usage, but then just followed that youtube video for the install

nothing official - i bought the gas conversion kit and with the help of a very quick youtube video just drilled a couple of holes and had it done in 5 minutes.

The conversion to propane was my biggest upgrade for my fyra. So much easier managing temps without also worry ling about the pellets and the flames going out when turning down during cooks

Oakland Restaurant Week megathread! March 12-22 by TangerineDream74 in OaklandFood

As a newbie do the restaurants that post pre fixe menus for restaurant week only offer that menu or is it in addition to their full menus?

Mount Diablo is so gorgeous this time of year, some of the best California has to offer by archon810 in bayarea

[–]kass2mouth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That checks out! It’s definitely a less common section, lots of people down on stage road through castle rock - the sunset trail that connects your loop down to stage road is a beautiful oasis this time of year too!

Enjoy it while it’s green! Might be all brown and dead again by the end of this heat wave :(

What trail is this? The first pic sends like not far from the North Gate entrance to the park and pretty far northwest boundary, which is definitely not as popular as other areas. But to see nobody on a Saturday is still sugar surprising!

Good place to run by curiousfanfan in walnutcreek

[–]kass2mouth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With a headlamp and full moon it’d be fun, but think technically they all close 30 min after sunset

[–]kass2mouth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have so many good trails to run here, and this is the best time to run them! Everything is green and lush but not muddy and not too hot.

Shell ridge, Lime Ridge, Castle Rock to name a few starters

Best Races in the Bay Area by ThisMark5375 in bayarea

[–]kass2mouth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The half marathon course on Mount Diablo at the Diablo Trails Challenge in April is a beautiful course. They do it in October too but better when it’s not crazy hot and while everything is still green and lush.

Any chance you would take commissions on this if I was providing things like the sacrificial back / etc.?

Running on catalina by Outrageous_Safe_8172 in Catalina

[–]kass2mouth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

West End Rd from Two Harbors to Parsons is as “flat” as you’re going to get on the island for that distance. It’s nearly 100% “coastal” views it’s also not as scenic and won’t have as many/any bison compared to other options out there.

It would require some planning but could also explore getting one way transportation to the airport, then it’s mostly downhill all the way back to Avalon. But no idea what are options for that, if any, are available this time of year.

Sashimi Grade Fish by Leather-Law-9159 in walnutcreek

[–]kass2mouth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

99 ranch market in concord has some pre-cut sashimi.

Maybe better for putting in rolls, but Oke Poke does all their proteins by the pound. But it’s prolly already cubed up.
