We are at 9200 feet in Colorado. We can have snow in June.

Took the boat out for the first time this year on Monday, nice day. Lake is 8700 feet in elevation. 

Started snowing yesterday afternoon. Temp was 40 degrees so some snow melted.

Woke up to 20 degrees, 3 inches and snowing.

View from the lake with a small island included.

Still snowing, 22 degrees. Deck pic has lights reflecting in it, much needed moisture. Got some work to do.

Cool!  (No pun intended.)  I remember one year we were on Pikes Peak in August and it started snowing pretty good--my grandparents were freaking out.

On a June Yellowstone trip 2 years ago, my family and I ran Into a mountain top snow storm in the Big Horn mountains to the East of Cody Wyoming.

Caught us by surprise and had to wait for a state highway truck to plow the pass we were on.

Couldn't navigate it in our Ford Edge rental! LOL

Funny thing is by the time we descended into the flat lands near Cody, temp was 86 and somewhat humid out. Shocking for sure.

Beautiful part of the country you live in diyer2 :thumbs:

Late 70' s rode my bike over Yellowstone in mid June from east to west. 80's at the base of the mountain Stayed at the cabins after dinner. Woke up to three feet. Dug the bike out of saddle deep snow and rode down the west side wearing everything I had on the bike.  By the time I got down the west side it was in the 70's.

11 Mile Reservoir. 

I was on this lake and a hail storm came through. I had an inch of hail in the boat.

Luckily I had a winter coat with a hood and thick gloves.

Still wanted it to end.

I had an inch on my hood this morning.  I live NE of Denver.  It's still snowing here at my office downtown.  The wife wants to move west.  She wants more trees.  It's beautiful, but more snow is keeping me from jumping on the bandwagon.

She's from upstate NY, so she knows trees.  Unfortunately, we are both very entrenched in our jobs here in Denver.  So even if we move, it will still be in commuting distance to downtown.

 

Otherwise, I'd be pushing for somewhere in Texas, maybe the Austin area or the hill country?  Maybe when we retire.

Lived in California for 7 years.

It was nice but I got tired of the same old weather.

Too many people.

Agreed about California.  Way too many people.  Plus, they don't call it the land of the fruits and nuts for no reason.  That's definitely not for me.

Truth. Get me out of here.

Colorado or bust.  Although I am considering parts of Montana or Idaho.

Don't know about mushrooms.

We love our house.

Been here almost 3 years.

Wife's a native.

I've been here 34 years.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
