Hello from Luke

Grilling, you say...   😯  

Yup, and jerky 🤠, I'm planning to do a batch this weekend.

For the grill I went with a Pit Boss that I got from Lowes on sale but last night I was eyeballing the Tragers at Costco.  Somehow I managed to get to the register without the Trager or any electronics in the cart...just food...I'm quite proud of that 😆

Hi Everyone!

My name is Luke Moussa and I live in Tucson, AZ where I work as a GIS consultant in environmental remediation.  Some of my favorite things to do are building/woodworking, writing, hiking, and grilling.  My current exploration vehicle is a 2017 Outback 3.6r and my project vehicle is a 1995 Toyota 4Runner.  I'm excited to be part of Team 4X and look forward to getting to know everyone.

Rock on!

@luke-moussa Nice to see another AZ Team 4X member.  You mention one of your favorite things to do is writing. Prior to retiring in 2018, I was a technical writer/editor for a large semiconductor firm in the Phoenix-metro area. Any writing I do now is purely for fun (i.e., Blog and forums). I'm curious as to what type of writing to which you're referring. I live about an hour north of Tucson and hope we cross paths at some point in this adventure journey. 🙂

@debaru Likewise!  An hour north of Tucson ain't too bad, I'm sure we will cross paths at some point 😀.

Same here on the current writing side of things.  I'm just doing it for fun but I did get to publish some research with Kent State University.  As cheesy as it sounds, I'm working on a cops and robbers story right now.  I'm interested in exploring some other themes but for now this is fun to get started with.

What types of Blogs and forums do you write?

SNOW DAY!!

San Pedro River Road, Tucson,AZ

🤣 you got more snow in AZ than we got in Eastern WA

@shovel the weird just gets weirder. Bone-dry all summer (no monsoons) and dry all winter, then it started up high yesterday and then touchdown today.  I looked at my work computer and said, "you got this, right?" 😋

If we get some more I'll send it over 😀  

That snow was awesome, although that's why I left the east coast. After 40+ years of bad weather, I had enough! But I have to say I was as giddy as every other Arizonaian watching that stuff come down!

@brian-schott haha! totally true.  We go bonkers over the stuff in southern AZ.

I saw Mt. Lemon got hit pretty hard with snow. Did the ski hill open @luke-moussa?

@4x_admin they did open up with about 12 inches of snow I read.
