Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.
Have done a pretty good job of holding the couch down today, wouldn't want it to blow away, and watching the race.
Got up to 60 MPH winds today. Heck of a bang, sounded almost like a small explosion, but wasn't able to see anything. Thought it would all blow over the top of us and go visit Tiny, but apparently not. Power went out 7 times during the race. I had set the DVR to record it and when it was all said and done, I had seven recordings. It looks like I only missed a few minutes, none of the wrecks and the last 30 laps were uninterrupted. It will rerun on Fox Sports tonight Tiny if you didn't catch it all.
Not only did Harvick win Dave, but Busch the kurt is back.

Morning all!
Well the two kids that have made me sick in the last month, both have stay at home mom's and they are special needs, so there is more leeway for sick days for them at school. It boils down to not wanting to deal with it and passing it on to someone else. That is what annoys me.

The warden works in the tourist industry, With all of the bugs and mutations that all of the Hispanics, Europeans, Asians and others that bring that crap in, it surprises me that OHSU doesn't open up a research center in the Events Hall!
Later gang, I am 12-2 in quarters EOW - loosely translated, going 10-7 to the horizontal position.

Get a UPS (Battery Backup......Uninterruptible Power Supply) and plug the TV and DVR/Sat receiver into it. Short power interruptions won't be a problem and the surge protection is far better than most anything else.

Have a 2500 UPS on the one computer and a 1200 on the other. Never got around to putting one on the Cable box as they are on the grid as we are so when the power goes down, there is no cable to watch. Everything is protected by either the UPS's or surge bars, including the pellet stove which I can run from an inverter on the pickup, a generator or an RV battery.

I now and currently out rank an Admiral so I'm not too worried about the SIQ Chit. However, the Warden, (whom I do not outrank apparently) is giving me a ration of &*^% because I haven't driven into Sick Bay over in Salem. If it keeps up for another day or two, I will - if I can get in. The last time I had an "urgent" but non emergency situation they were real good about getting me in that same afternoon. I also have my veterans choice card and if I feel like it going down hill, turning into pneumonia, the Wardens doctor is right around the corner in the West Valley Medical Clinic. Failing that, the vet is only a mile away!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. As a person who likes to bring things back to original condition this turned me off.
