1st day at any vacation rental is the day you figure out how to use the coffee maker's timer. Coffee was delayed but all worked out well. Everbody took off to Squaw for the day. Tommy was there w/Eric and Carl and Lauren got to experience it anew w/Viktorija and the crew. Breakfast was 'fend for yourselves' but tomorrow's gonna be steak and egg burritos due to left over steak from tonight. I worked, and before going to Squaw to pickup Tommy and Lauren, I prep'd the steaks I'd bought after getting some cooking times from Jen. I walked about the neighborhood and, before getting the kids, headed up to Incline and Nevada side. The late is simply stunning in the winter, it's not something I've fully experience or appreciated but I really appreciate the seasons that can be experienced her. I'd welcome the chase to retire in a lake house but I don't have 5+ million laying around, so, that's not an option right now. Lauren helped w/the steaks and they & the asparagus turned out great. Paired well with a 2015 Malbec. Tahoe Creamery ice-cream desserts. Started to feel the walls closing in as the kids played games and dominated the room, when the GNO option popped back into my heads and I jumped on the call for about 40min w/JS and JG. Plan for tomorrow is get up and make breakfast, work and perhaps go explore, maybe even hike a bit before kids return. Not sure what 'll do with Thursday, considering a full lake-drive, as spending 6hrs at Squaw feels like 5hrs more than necessary.
