Apparently the autopilot deflated and couldn’t be blown back up and the plane crashed. RIP June Cleaver. Guess I’m watching something else now as I have been staring at that little dot in the corner for 10min now hoping the movie would come back on.

What a terrific alternative ending. 😆

Well since we are on the subject…My dad passed away peacefully last evening. Rough stuff but both my sister and I have an odd calmness over us, he battled so many health issues since the late 1980’s w

Said goodbye to our 17-year old lab today.   He was such a great companion for my sons growing up.  So many adventures.   He has been on every mountain peak around here.    Sad day... but it was time.

Dude I seriously almost started crying when I read this last night. Totally reminds me of Dewey. He lived for the water and the snow. Regardless of the time of year, we couldn’t drive up to Larch with

Only 39 today after a low of 35. What a wet year, 38 inches of rain since Nov 1! And 85 for the year.

Your area was weird this year.  A lot of the state was quite dry up until this month.  Even at that many places ended up below normal.

Airplane is back on! New Year’s Eve is saved! In other news here is my total precipitation for the year. Almost 20” below my 5yr average of living here.

Looking at the 0z EPS vs the 12z you can see everything has torqued clockwise a bit.  That is usually a good thing as it means more back digging over the NW in many cases.

The eastern slopes of Olympics and hood canal area has got massive precip this fall and winter.

EPS is better. A step in the right direction

The same thing happened to a lesser extent along the east slopes of the Cascades.  Another part of the state that bucked the dry trend.

Grey Goose is pretty yummy. From my many years of alcohol consumption, I've found that quality vodka is definitely easier on the hangovers than cheap asss shitt.

Ugh....My one and only bout with alcohol poisoning was when I had 6-7 solo cups of screw drivers over the course of a day. (I was about 16-17 at the time.)  To this day, I can't touch vodka, and I very rarely drink orange juice (I think I can count the number of times on one hand.

I'm more of a whisky and high end tequila drinker now....$60-70+ bottles, so needless to say, I don't drink too much.

I played a drinking game with roomates once and got alcohol poisoning. Vomited for a whole day. Mostly bourbon

Great area to grow up in though.  My mom grew up in Philipsburg on acreage with horses... was always super jelly.

I know that area well, my wife's family homesteaded the Flint Creek Valley near Hall back in the 1800's (whenever that area was settled) and the ranch is still in the family today.  IN fact, the original log cabin is the core of the current main house (there have been 3-4 different additions).  They own a good chunk of the land in the canyon north of P-burg up towards Maxville on Hwy 1.  I would place pretty good odds that your mom's family and my wife's family at a very minimum knew of each other. 

I almost tried to drag my wife back to that area for a Controller job at Ranch at Rock Creek, but the property around P-burg consisted of either million dollar log cabins up on the ridges overlooking the valley, or $40,000 trailers or houses that should be condemned.

I love that area a lot, and could totally see myself living the ranching life....well maybe not now at my age, but when I first married my wife, we used to go back alot and I helped out on a few cattle drives.   Very hard work but very much worth it.

Sunriver absolutely kicks asss. Probably the only upscale high elevation community in the state. You have super easy access to Mt. Bachelor and are only minutes away from probably the most geologically interesting area of the country, Newberry Crater. Sunriver has great bike paths and is close by to many lakes, rivers, and some terrific fishing. Plus it gets tons of snow. I've been there many times. I've seen pics where the snow is up to 6 feet deep. What's not to like? It is super expensive, but if you've got your roots planted there, you're in great shape.

Oh yeah for sure, I love sunriver and don't take it for granted, it's an absolutely amazing area, in my opinion its the best town in oregon, but I also love the whitefish area, and do miss it sometimes. I'm a very regretful person even over things I shouldn't really regret, I guess that's just how I am.

Both the GFS and EC showing a couple inches of snow for here. Would be a wonderful way to remember this winter.

I had to skip a couple of pages, so I don't know if this was commented on, but looks like MIchael Snyder is NOT on board at this time.  He's not ruling it out completely, but does not see a proper alignment of the stars for anything more than things cooling off and mountain snow.

 

I'm not really feeling it either.  I don't know if that is a protection mechanism for myself knowing we are in a Nino, but I almost feel like we need a pool to figure out how close we get to "go time" before the rug pull happens.

I'm just glad to get back to at least having it drop into the 30's at night.

 

Happy New Year everybody!!!!

      May 6-9 Multi Day Severe Weather Outbreak

      8 miles south of Warrensburg. It's just puking rain and small hail. Good thing it's 8am not 8pm or this would have been a different animal.

      May 6-9 Multi Day Severe Weather Outbreak

      Early yesterday morning I got 0.48" of rain. Just perfect to soften the crust on the garden. The sweet corn and other things are coming up nicely.

      There is no alternative at this point. We are stuck between a f*cking horrible former president or an even worse current president. Third election in a row where people will go "well I guess this one sucks slightly less" because people can't pull their heads out of their asses and care enough about the contest to participate in the primaries. Now we will reap what we sow, again. I'm not saying this NY fraud trial isn't a sham. It's easily the weakest of all cases and it's pretty apparent that it's main purpose is to fork out salacious details about an affair that occurred almost 20 years ago that the media can run with. Doesn't make the juxtaposition any less frustrating though.

      I think Noem wanted to appear like a tough, strong women by putting that in her book, but she definitely screwed up by doing that, and didn't realize many Americans think just as much of their pets as their children! Children should be much more important, but animals shouldn't be abused either. I always hated killing anything other than pests like insects or mice and rats that p**s me off.
