Sun and Snow
We had a pretty good snowstorm yesterday, at least two or three inches of heavy, wet snow. Today the sun is out and the snow is starting to melt. Weather forecast is calling for 50 and sunny by the weekend.

Winter Is Here
Last week was sunny and in the mid sixties, today it’s snowing. Pretty good dump. I drove down the hill into town about 11AM, an hour and a half later there was a couple inches of snow on the road. No snow tires on the truck yet, so plenty of sliding going on. By nightfall, … Read more
Between Storms
The late fall/early winter storms are rolling through the Pacific Northwest on a regular basis now. It rained yesterday and this morning, but the sun actually came out early this afternoon and it was an awesome day, albeit a little damp. Everything is wet and the autumn colors are starting to fade; most of the … Read more
Cool, Sunny and Moist
We had a few days of rain here, not a torrential downpour, but a misting, drizzly, showery weekend. Stopped raining yesterday afternoon, the wind blew overnight and dried things out a bit. The clear skies following the storm made for a little cool weather; last night was the first night of the season in the … Read more

Thanks to Connie, the WebGirl from Hamburg and Sayontan, the guy who designed this nice Suffusion WordPress theme for helping me … Read more
Off To Oakridge
Tomorrow morning we are off to Mountain Bike Oregon. Always a great time in a beautiful area. Weather looks good, not too hot and a little rain to keep the dust down. Speaking of beautiful areas, how about the view from the back door? There is a saying that goes “If you don’t like where … Read more
Loving Summer
The warm weather has dropped the water levels in the alpine lakes and it’s been kind of windy, so we can’t really do a lot of fishing. As long as there are trails and open road, we can still ride our bikes, and that is what we are doing. Yesterday we did a nice off … Read more
