To answer your other question, we might be visiting other extended family in the vicinity of your area on Monday before we we depart for Vancouver, BC on Tuesday. We return July 31st and will be hanging around through August 1st thereafter.

 

We depart for Sarasota FL late in the evening on August 1st.

 

So most of your trip is in Vancouver BC... beautiful city.   Hopefully you can explore that area... maybe some people on here can you give you ideas for activities up there.

 

Sounds like you will not make it out to North Bend.   The drive from Bellevue to Snoqualmie Pass along I-90 (through North Bend) is gorgeous and there are lots of hiking trails all over the place if you have time on Monday.    Its much more mountainous and lush than the Everett area.    It takes about 45 minutes to get to North Bend from Everett.   And another 20 minutes to get to Snoqualmie Pass.  

 

You can also visit your old stomping grounds around Stampede Pass... lots has changed and its growing fast!  You might not recognize it.    :lol:

Yeah both cities have a lot to offer depending on what your interests are. Missoula definitely has more of a "College Town" feel to it with UM more integrated into the city. Whereas in Bozeman, MSU is

Fine, dude.   Today from that restaurant near Pike place market.   http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww243/phillywillie/Mobile%20Uploads/E72C43E9-3067-4863-A570-5355F6B29690_zpsfvmguw8k.jpg   http://

Some crazy weather in central Chile. It's snowing in places that haven't seen snow in 40+ years.   This is Santiago right now.   http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww243/phillywillie/Mobile%20Uploads

Only 52 more weeks to go until there are 8.4 weeks left until the autumnal equinox.

 

And in just a mere 26 weeks we are gaining something like 22 minutes of daylight in the last 10 days of January and the cherry blossoms will be getting ready to open!

We're considering a hike, actually. I'll post pictures and video so Jesse doesn't think I'm making it all up. ;)

Up to 71 at SEA now... might end up with no high temperature below 70 for July.   Also a possibility that there is no high above 90.   

 

Every high temp this month so far at SEA has been between 70-85.   

 

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more perfect.

A forum for the end of the world.

It looks like the PDO is crashing now... this is the 7-day change.   A negative PDO and a ENSO neutral winter sounds like a good recipe to me.

Here is the ECMWF surface map for Monday.   Looks like an absolutely perfect PNW summer day.

I'm kinda worried that I'll lose the heat tolerance I've built up over the last 6 weeks being out on the Canadian waters for three days. Either way it'll be worth it, though. :P

There's simply no way the human body can build tolerance to constant 145 degree heat indices.

More like 125, but you get the picture. B)

So you decided joking about child porn actually was in poor taste and deleted your post? Good choice.

I don't think he wants to go down last year's road when the n-word apparently became short term comic gold.

You were the one who made the initial porn joke. Stop crying and get over it. All I wanted was help with the Euro site.

      That's good. I started really packing away for retirement about 2 years ago. Later than I should have, but better late than never. I don't really care if I ever retire, I know at some level I will always be doing something, but my hope is to be in a position in 10-15 years where I can do something I really enjoy. I took a new job about two years ago, it was a big pay increase (Yay, barely keeping up with inflation!), but it's just turned into a job job. But I can't really complain.

      All this mileage talk reminds me of the opening scene of the movie Used Cars. Classic.

      Both have good jobs now but they are also still paying off debt they accumulated with us over the last few years. I would probably just let it slide but my wife is very insistent on holding them to their word. My son who works at Boeing is also investing at least half his salary into IRAs because he did the calculations and knows its best to build up investments early and let time work for you over the next 40 years. I wish we had done more of that in our early 20s.

      Also, I wasn't implying your kids are freeloading. I know they are not. One of them works at Boeing I understand, probably makes more than me. The world is tough to navigate as a young person, some people never figure it out. Sometimes it seems like things are intentionally confusing. In many ways technological advancement has made our lives much more stressful and unsatisfying.

      Yeah, I don't care if my kids live with me after high school as long as they are in school or working. They'll have to contribute though. I'll probably still be up here or in an even more rural/isolated area by then, so they might not want to hang around too long. Once they are out of high school, they are on their own financially though. But, I see my wife and her parents haven't fully cut the cord and she's 35. Her car was in their name as recently as a couple years ago. I brought it up and they transferred the title to me... lol
