Yeah, my son hasn’t said anything about that. He works 3rd shift so hopefully he is ok.

We here in PNW have gray skies and rain. It is wet outside all the time. Today it got down to 32 but I didn’t see anything frozen anywhere. So not quite there yet here word.

You my friend, are not retired!! My wife is similar, she thinks something should take 30-40 minutes and wonders where I’ve been for 2-3 hours. I have a few projects around here to do. Prune apple trees, prune blueberries, put new cupboards that we dragged out of someone’s remodel into our shed. That will be tougher as she will need to…[Read more]

Happy New Years to y’all as well. We had a low key celebration which did allow for getting up at a decent hour and feeling good the next day. I had to go to work yesterday and today. It’s rough times when you have to go to work word!

Ha ha. Nice last line.

It has rained here in abundance. I got a new jack for my riding mower. It weighs a ton but I’m excited to get to use it. My MIL is now visiting for a week and that should be fun also word.

Merry Christmas everyone! It is now the 27th and we had a great Christmas. All the kids (but one in DC) came and it was great. I hope you also had a wonderful Christmas.

Cold and rainy here but 11F higher than the average for this day. Still feels cold at 54. Got almost an inch of water over the last 24 hours. It is supposed to get warmer and the snow level will go up to 8000 ft. That’s really high. Our ski areas are at 3000 and 4000 ft levels. So hopefully the snow level gets down lower.…[Read more]

Funny how that works. Make life easier on criminals, and crime goes up. Funny how accountability changes behavior better than no accountability. Whodathunkit word?

I agree. WE are facing the same thing here in WA and specifically in King County. There is no penalty for juvie offenses. They have a diversion program. Last week a 20 year old had a 17, 15, 12, and 12 year olds trying to steal guns from a local gun shop. All were caught. An alert cop noticed something was wrong there. Anyway, what…[Read more]

The people here in WA gave enough signatures to repeal the State law that prohibits police chases. During the time police couldn’t chase, auto theft rose exponentially. The legislature did not want this initiative on the ballot so they passed it. Guess what? Auto theft is down by double digits (percentage wise speaking). Who would have…[Read more]

We got rain, and rain, and more rain. Mild temps. Grandaughter stayed the night. It was a good day despite the rain word.

Longer days will be good. I agree. But that has to wait until Santa comes to town word.

Test worked!!

Welcome Shamus and Viratas,

It has been awhile since you have been here V. It would be great to see you more often word.

Went to work it was 27F out there. Kind of chilly.

We have an electric mower for a small front lawn that the rider cannot get to. Not battery powered, so the electric cord is a hassle. But otherwise, does a good job. Lightweight and all that.

It warms up starting tomorrow and and starts the rain again. HOpefully we have a white…[Read more]

Hey AC!! Glad to hear you are well and have had a great Thanksgiving. I do not appreciate you bragging about not losing power due to the Bomb Cyclone! I thought it hit everyone!! It is just for that and other circumstances (about 4 times a year we lose power) that we have the generator. I changed the oil in the Generator on Saturday.…[Read more]

I have never thought of buying a pinball machine. But it would be fun no doubt. I don’t remember the baseball machine. I from the world of Pong!!! Happy Thanksgiving word!!!

That’s a lot of rain!! We got power after going to a Mexican restaurant on Saturday. I think we will do that from now on. We were out since Tue evening. All my gas tanks are filled so we have gas for a week or so of generator use. No need now. Internet came back also. So we are back up.

I think that bomb cyclone is still out…[Read more]

Yeah, the gas stations and grocery stores are suffering along with us. My wife went to get gas for our generator and she couldn’t get through so she left. Too many people trying to get gas and gas flowing too slow. Puget Sound Energy is still saying tomorrow at 8:00 pm we will have power restored. Lines remain on the road in our…[Read more]

BOMB CYCLONE HIT!!!!!!!!

Training two new guys and a grandson is pretty good work if you can get it! Got my GFCI outlet finally installed after I finally figured out why it was not working. So that is a good thing word!
