SoCal Weather = Tacoma FUN

Good morning everyone!

Had a super cool weekend thanks to this insane weather we are having in SoCal. Friday night consisted of driving through the most intense SFV flooding I have ever seen in my life. Saturday I drove up to Big Bear to enjoy the fresh powder. After Bear, I drove back to my house to shower and pack a bag and drove from there up to the lake house in Bakersfield. It was so unbelievable flooded up there, I am so glad I had my Tacoma! Had some fun in the mud! Here are some pics:

 

I envy you West Coasters- you guys drive out of your way to get the snow and salt- mean while us in NY fight the corrosion of our dreaded winters

 

I've driven to the snow every weekend for the last month LOL I love it! Putting the Cali4nia season pass to use! lol

 

Beautiful

Wish I had a house in Bakersfield

 

You could always move...

But please, dont. Our property values are stupid because of the influx of people moving here.

 

Right? Those snow pics... if I looked out the window and saw that, I wouldn't even get a sweater on.

 

Considered it Last year after a few trips feeling out the construction industry in SoCal but no offense it's an over inflated market MOSTLY full of low balling rookies that take on builds out of their league. I'll be there in a month though strictly vacationing SoCal and SF/Napa

 

So fucking weird... when I left socal things seemed normal. Bullet button in an AR, smog checks. But now people who ACTUALLY want to live in Bakersfield?

 

Nobody in their right mind

 

From what I understand, people only want to live in Bakersfield because it's too expensive to live elsewhere lol.

 

Farthest I could BRO was Temecula. I need to be able to bug out and hop that riverside/San Diego line if it got too metal mulisha for me.

 

Wifes father lives by a beach. Hes a huge Harley Davidson guy. He polishes his bike every weekend before moving to the beach area recently. 4 months later his bike is rust. It's not just the snow we gotta watch out for.

 

Coincedentally it seems I NOW live a few miles north of where sandeman lives. Weird. Too much snow for this desert kid.

 

I was dead set on San Diego, almost prematurely signed a lease but then I looked at my future earnings and I was like NAH BRO stick it out or move to South Beach lol

 

are you a westchester-ian?

 

Don't go to SD, you made a good choice. It's pure heaven there but if you work for a living it's tough. And I saw the eastward migration of brand new McMillan homes being pushed from chula vista to damn near el centro, and then that housing thing happened. Fuck it.

 

No by a few miles I mean like an hour. I am Aaron, of the hill people. I come from the land of saugerties, across the river. At least, that's where I found myself landing after my great adventure.

 

We slowed down during the housing "crisis", always kept busy- recovered quiet well here. Now I'm either giving clients a 6-9 month wait to start or turning down jobs- from what I saw, between SD and LA, the higher end areas, the construction industry never really recovered

 

Yep that's about 2 hours from me. I'm in Kingston area every so often picking up special orders from the supplier

 

In San Marino
La canada
Arcadia

People are paying 2-5m to buy property and tearing down and rebuilding

Tons of HK,Chinese,Korean cash money
