Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.
Last night was quite the blow and bang show. Then it started snowing.

In Newport for 3 nights. 47th anniversary celebration is underway.

Good morning Ford gang. Yesterday was Diane and I's 52 year anniversary. But I spent the day fixing a 4" water main break in the HOA.

Morning all. Another soggy day. Mowed some lawn yesterday. Not sure I have ever done that in December.

Good afternoon Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 35-40 mph with reported gusts to 60.
Happy Anniversary Allen & Diane, a day late.
Took an interesting drive this morning. Heavy rain and wind, car bucking and rocking. Flags and lights up for the bar but couldn’t see the tips.
They used to call our “Special Reduced Rate” at the Hallmark the “December Storm Watchers Special”. They don’t call them that anymore but it would still fit.

I noticed our yard in Sheridan could use a haircut Rich. I suppose I need to unwinterize the mower and go throw a Rooster-tail next week. Bravo isn’t too bad and if we get a layer of snow I could ignore that.

Going to the Aquarium or lighthouse after lunch. Haven’t decided yet. Member at the aquarium & a Federal Disabled Access pass for Federal Fee sights so we can get into both for no charge.

Yesterday afternoon….

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. High winds, heavy continuous rain & having a good time. Meanwhile I’ve gotten two emergency alerts for heavy rain and flooding in Sheridan and one for dangerous high winds at the Gilchrist property.
No need to charge off to either place when I can stay right here in Newport and have all 3 conditions in one kettle.
