Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 50.3, overcast and quite soggy out there. Headed to Tommy's for a Board of Directors breakfast meeting this morning and then off to the range for new member orientation and maybe a little bit of a range work day, depending on rain.

We had 5 of Mason’s friends swimming at the YMCA pool for an hour and a half and then a couple more came over to our house for cake and ice cream after. We had some pretty decent thunder and downpours while everyone was here.

We survived the thundering herd of 9 year olds.

Good afternoon / evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Got home from the range, got some lunch and allowed the sunshine to suck me into thinking I was going to wash the pickup and camper as well as do some work on the Mazda.
Went out after lunch, got some tools out, stretched out the garden hose, filled the wash bucket and moved the camper and pickup onto the 'wash rack'. Hosed the pickup and camper off...and that is when the sun went away. Looked really nasty off to the west and it was moving in fast. So, started putting everything away and got the pickup and camper moved back onto the concrete driveway. Just got the tools put under cover and an extra tie down on the boat cover when the 40 mph winds hit along with a deluge type rain fall. I was really looking for an excuse to kick back and watch the All Star Races....

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 50.3, under blue sky with scattered overcast at the moment. Marine layer lifting up over the coast range....

Skating had nothing to do with it! It was dangerous weather conditions...That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
