Our State tournament happened this weekend. The HS I used to asst coach at had 9 guys and 1 gal that went. All lost two, one made it to the semis and then lost the semis and lost his next two matches pretty badly. He did real well to get to the semis, and then tanked. But the guy that beat him in hte semis toasted him, and that guy got…[Read more]

The cold weather just started to break here. 52 yesterday and mid 50’s through Friday. Sunshine and looking forward to it.

That youth wrestling tournament was a nightmare. I had no idea it was going to be that big. #2 son’s boys cancelled out because of colds they picked up Friday. There were 22 brackets. No.1 son’s boys had 17 and 22 in their…[Read more]

Actually feels kind of warm here. Lows in 40s and highs in 50s. But with that is lots of wetness word.

Temp was 28 today but the windchill knocked it down to 5. 2 more days around 30 then into the 40 for 10 days. 5 are just a blink away.

Had a great weekend. It snowed a little on Friday, just a dusting . My wife and I went to Ballard (a neighborhood in north Seattle) and that was fun. had a great weekend. Congrats on the 36 lber. going up a weight class and an age group is a lot harder at 36 than at 176, not that I would know. I wrestled at 115 my senior year word.

Absolutely crazy weather the past week. 2 5″ snowfalls followed by b50’s which melted them away. 3 days of wind gusting to 50-60 MPH. Now we’re heading into 3 frigid days with highs of 30F just before we get hit with more snow Wed/Thurs somewhere between 1 and 12″

We’re saddled up inside and that rowing machine would have been a nice break.…[Read more]

We have a basement workout room. Universal gym, squat station, treadmill (not used much) and exercise bike ( used everyday). We do have a rowing machine that would be a good work out, but my shoulders are no good right now and I don’t see that helping at this time. But maybe when they get fixed I can do that word.

The Eagles defense totally dominated KC forcing Mahomes to make bad passes. You know he is accustomed to completing unreal completions that he seems he was overconfident in his ability. Still, he landed a few bombs in the 4th Q and that last 65
yard bombshell to the endzone. was right on target The Eagles O Line stifled the KC D. They…[Read more]

My son got influenza A which is even worse. My wife has been down for a good 4 days, with 3 more not feeling well. Not sure about today.

What a beatdown yesterday. It was brutal on KC. I am an Alabama fan and was happy for Jalen Hurts word.

Sounds like wifey may have picked up the norovirus that’s been roaming around. It’s been brutal for those affected. It’s quite common for it to be communicated through kids / schools.

I hate to do it but I’m rooting for the Eagles this year, more or less for Saquon Barkley, the former Giants via Penn State running back from NJ. He’s been the…[Read more]

Earlier this week it warmed up melted snow and then froze. I slid down to the main road, that was scary. But that is mostly clear now. They have either closed school or started 2 hours late every day this week except today. Heating the classroom (our garage) for preschool is tough, those poor space heaters are having a difficult time…[Read more]

No snow here, just sleet, rain and now ice. That’s a miserable combination because you can’t do anything outside and can’t go anywhere. The guessers are saying maybe 2″ of snow tonight.

We have about 3 inches of snow and 2-3 inches more are supposed to come. Finally some snow word.

Thanks for sharing V.

We have bird netting over our blueberries and that has helped a lot. Seems to deter the deer as well. We got snow, schools are on a 2 hour late schedule. I live on a pretty steep hill with a steep driveway. I may work from home today, may go in, not sure. My tires are sport tires so they don’t do well on ice and slush. But it was sure…[Read more]

I can’t do any kins of berry. The birds and squirrels get them just before they ripen. I’ve been trapping the squirrels and dropping them in an orchard 20 miles away. They keep stealing the apples.

Our local mountain pass is getting 2 feet of snow over today and tomorrow, which means it is raining here ha ha. We are slated to get snow this weekend, but who knows. Lows going into the low 20s next week. It’s been cold and gonna be cold again. Highs will be above freezing, some just barely. So colder than usual for us.

We hacked…[Read more]

Yup, beautiful while it’s coming down, but then please melt away. They say 2 inches of rain tonight. The ground is rock solid, frozen to about 4″. There won’t be any ground drainage, so I’m expecting major runoff and flooding. That’s unfortunate since we are still deemed high fire hazard due to the fall drought. It looks like we’re are losing…[Read more]

I had opportunity to ice fish when I lived in MN for 7 years. Not even in an ice house. So kudos to grandpa for going out there and doing it. Not much opportunity for that around here. It should start raining again in a day or two, but they are saying snow next week. I love the snow. But here in the PNW, it is very wet and very…[Read more]
