Three weeks from today, I'll be in Florida.

In the screw zone again here. Just 0.09" today while it seems like everyone north of Portland and south of Medford got a lot more. April is running a smidge wetter than normal but water year to date is still ~10" below normal (with no snowpack).

Oh man I need to still get that knocked out.
