Morning all. I'm beat. Long weekend involving family, a wedding (step son), out of town step daughter and her fiance, and my own daughter.
Yesterday we left home at 0900 for brunch in Buena Vista at 1030, left at 1200 and headed to Newport. Drove up the coast to Astoria for dinner, left there at 2100 and headed to PDX to drop off the step daughter and her fiance who had a flight at 0030. Not much sleep and probably the longest route to the airport ever.
Step daughter lives in Texas, fiance is from Brazil, and he's never been to Oregon so we gave him a whirlwind tour of our central northern coast. whewwww...

Belated good afternoon Oregon and everyone everywhere else. What a day. Slipped back into my Sherlock Holmes hat, looked up some old contacts sent a couple of emails and I must have hit a nerve someplace. Within 45 minutes of my last office visit, phone call and email, I had an email from a person who was "off duty". We now have a telephone conference call set up for noon tomorrow with someone who can most likely give us most of the answers and information we have been wanting on the camper fire.
Sun is shining so I need to get out and get to work on the electric winch on the boat and get a couple of other things done that I am now behind on.

Morning Andy, Light snow falling here, but, it's about 36 degrees, so it's not sticking. Looks like we'll be on the temperature roller coaster for the next week here.

Good frosty morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Clear and the sun is poking its head up, but the temp is going the wrong direction! It was 30 around 0600, then dropped to 29.5 around 0650. We are now at 28.5, a new low for the day.
