We got nowhere near the two inches in two days prediction that the weather guessers said we would. Today is cold and cloudy but no rain in the forecast.

Happy Tuesday Nor-Cal. Beautiful day here in the armpit of California. Wee bit on the cold side, but sunny and bright nonetheless.

Good morning FTE , I made it home safely, I ended up rerouting and came down to the 5 for storm concerns, the Sierra‘s and cascade mountains already had Snow but more was expected to be slammed, my truck is 4x4 but I’m smarter than that to stay in weather conditions that would jeopardize travel, I knew roads would be better on 5 vs no plow on upper mountain roads, I haven’t totaled my fuel receipts yet , I’m kind of scared too .
have a great day y’all .

My truck is a 4x4 but I have never used it in 4x4 mode only to see if it actually works. I wish it were a two-wheel drive model so it would get better gas mileage. However, as little as I drive it, it is a moot point.

Happy Saturday Nor-Cal. Going to get some free food at a local church's food giveaway. Other than that, no plans for the day.

Smoked some homemade jalapeño poppers and chicken thighs, 41/2 hour Apple smoke , the bacon grease dripping on the chicken made it moist and the skins were really good

Happy Tuesday Nor-Cal. Raining here at the moment. We can use it, but it is not going to last too long. At least according to the weather guessers.

We got a little over an inch of rain yesterday (Monday), and so far today, a bit over an inch. It's adding up fast.

I was surprised at the amount of rain we got. They stated we would get an inch today, and it might have actually happened. Don't care either way, because I stayed indoors all day.
