Good morning. Looks like it will be a drizzly morning here. It's supposed to clear up later on though.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 50.2, dry, overcast but have a lot of blue sky to the west of us if it makes it here. 50% chance of T-Storms today.

So far, the blue sky is a no show. Don't know where it went, but it certainly wasn't here.

Blue sky and tall dark clouds, there have been lighting strikes to the ocean off of Astoria this morning.
Have a good/safe day folks, we are off to Forest Grove and Hillsboro for the day.

Loved the pics Roy. Looks like a good time is being had by all!




Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. I think....53.5 climbing fast at the moment, clear and sunny.
Got bad news yesterday afternoon. Thought sleeping on it overnight might ease the sting and help...it didn't.

"Jim I finished installing water pump and belts around 11:00 am and decided to check sparkplugs . I found trouble, and checked compression on one hole and had 0lbs. Did not go any further.
There was serious signs of water on both sides of block. Watermost likely coming from bad exhaust manifolds. Leaking between riser and lower manifold log. When engine is turned off. The water in the manifolds drips intothe cylinders. I am sorry. Maybe you could fish with trolling motor. Have to gonow will talk Monday."

We are leaving in 8 days for High Mountain Lakes in the Cascades. Guess we will put around at 3 or 4 mph. No time to do anything else with it before we leave.

Happy Father's Day to all my fellow dads out there. I had a great one with my boys, wife, and parents. Jackie even got me an awesome Traeger Texas Elite grill to replace my 7 year old charcoal one that was getting rusty! This thing is sweet!
