'friends', see posts only from friends or friends of friends, sort
friends into groups as well as the entire group and use an
ad-blocker. 'Social Fixer' FF/Chrome extension might make things
better, depending...
I have 104 friends, mostly people I've 'met' through RMD and the
skiing newsgroup, some of whom I've met in RL. Plus actual RL
friends and relatives, of course.
Go to literal RMD.
Facebook is sorely lacking. Would anyone else like to re-establish this group? I "know" people who could be persuaded if there were a real possibility. All it takes is a little typing...

Somebody posted a picture of a new one which looked about as functional
as it's possible to be. Might have had an electric motor because it
sure looked different.
News from FB: John Aiton died. The Big Guy is getting rid of the boat.
We all hate California. Probably other major news, but that's all

That's what he thinks. We were glad to get rid of my son's little boat
with the 40HP outboard. It looked a lot like a 1955 Chevy, so we
painted it red and white. Once around Castaic Lake. "Wanta do it again?" "Nope."

I got so cold, I permanently damaged my hands that day. Going up the mountain
was easy. The rear wheel would step to one side just a little and it would climb crab-style. Coming back down the rear end would step out and just keep coming around. I crashed so many times, I stopped counting.
Deeper snow was easier than packed. There had been an ice storm before the snow
so underneath was about an inch of glare ice. Thin snow would put me on the ice, packed snow was just like ice. Fresh snow was easy if it was deep enough
to keep me off the ice.
Given the nature of your weather, you might consider taking up skiing.
