Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 38° and raining cats and dogs. The instant rate scale is showing it at 1.12" p/hr.
Thanks Roy. The Warden is really conflicted right now. He was her uncle, her dad's brother. In earlier times the family out on the ranch in Eastern Idaho and Darby Montana were their own little community. But, in the last 3 years, also the king behind giving us so much grief and costing us so much money in regards to the MIL and I'll leave it at that as I really do not wish to speak ill of the departed. I am also thinking that if there was ever a time to bury the hatchet, this is probably it, or at least the time to make the effort.
We have to go into the care home today and break the news to my MIL. That's the part I'm concerned about right now. She worshiped the ground he walked on so we'll see how that is going to go.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. This day went down the tubes faster that the Titanic!
Delivered the news about Uncle John to the Wardens mother. She struggled a bit, but accepted that Uncle John was gone.
After getting home, I took off for the gun show in Rickreall. Yes, for the most part I was a good boy. I only walked out of the show with 2 new Glock 17 mags.
Then the Warden called and said her car broke down just as she was getting to work. Didn't make it into the lot and it was parked on the shoulder of "death alley". So I went out to Grand Ronde to look at that. Antifreeze all over the drivers side of the engine compartment. Wet, rainy, windy and suicide drivers plus we couldn't locate the source of the antifreeze. So I called a tow truck and had it towed back to town.
Then, as I was starting to pressure wash the boat I was notified that my MIL was telling people my oldest son had died. So........I spent the rest of the afternoon and this evening on the phone getting all of this straightened out. She told one person who must have a megaphone for a mouth and half the state of Oregon on speed dial!

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 34° and lots of water. Pretty good lightning show going on when I brought the Warden home from work last night.
Stopped by the shop this morning, but Corey wasn't in yet. Heading back down in a couple to talk to him and take another look at the car.
I have found that if I stay out of the Cat Houses, don't go for the kinky stuff and keep my hand out of the cats mouth...my hand won't get bit!
