Good morning Oregon,

Jim, Good luck with the squirrel elimination today. Do you still have a camera on the large hole along the driveway?

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.
No rain today and a high of 82. Dark clouds building on western horizon before dark so we’ll see if the ‘showers’ get here tonight.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 56 with some steady heavy rainfall since 0300 this morning. So far it’s looking like an inside day today.

We decided we would get rid of cardboard boxes that have been being accumulated ’n case we ‘needed’ them. Filled the pickup full to the brim with broken down cardboard.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 50 with a heavy fog this morning. Weather forecast says it's supposed to cloud up this afternoon with a chance of T-Storms. When I checked the traffic cams, it appears that we have fog but no one else does. Probably just a band along the Little Deschutes River.
Need to get the cargo nets out this morning and put it over the cardboard in the pickup and drop it off in the recycle bin at the county transfer station. Then we have to come back and load the bags of garbage and take them to the Transfer Station. No room to do both in one trip.

Side boards aren’t worth the problem for the amount of use they would get. It’s only a few miles to the transfer station they have hidden in the Forrest.

Found out that the Warden was looking at the days and hours for the main county landfill over 90 miles south of us. Our little Transfer Station was closed. So, we decided to go climb a cinder cone volcanic vent, a part of the Newberry Stratovolcano that Bravo compound sits towards the southern end of.
















Does anyone remember the movie with Pierce Bronson, “Dante’s Peak”? It was filled in Wallace Idaho where the Warden has cousins.

The “real” Dante’s peak is right here in Oregon in Paulina Lake!

Good Monday morning Ford Tinkerer's.
Jim if I had to run everything to the county transfer station I would use side boards.
