Morning Andy, looks like another wet, soggy day down here. How goes it up yonder?

Same up here. Word has it that tomorrow they plan to bring the sun back out. We may hit our hottest day of the year so far tomorrow, 70. Usually by now we have had at least one day in the 80's. I got materials coming Friday to build a cover over the out door kitchen I've been doing so I can stay dry while grilling. Looks to be a cool wet year for us.

We've had a few really nice, warm days. I'm hoping those return soon, so I can get my damn honey-do list done, and move on to my 67!

Good soggy wet morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 41 in the back yard and 39 in the front yard. Raining cats and dogs at the moment.


Going to Roseburg for Friday afternoon and Saturday. Going to visit with some friends and go to a Memorial Service and then come home sometime Saturday afternoon or evening.

Anyone know who's buying used/dead car batteries these days, ideally for more than $5/each?

Wilco seems to infrequently do a $10 gift card per used battery deal, but they haven't for quite a while, unfortunately.

I think Corvallis Battery on 4th near Safeway does. I don't know how much.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Pretty nice day after the morning deluges. Seemed like after that the only time it rained was when we went outside at the Air and Space Museum to look at the outside displays of aircraft. As long as we stayed inside and looked at the inside displays, it stayed nice, dry and sunny outside.


See the nice weather outside? Wet sidewalk, but currently blue sky. We had just been outside to look at an F 14, PBY, Air Force 2, a Thud and others, and got soaked.

By the way, anyone want to argue with a Sargent.......?
