Noisy here, the Pacific is growling, 40 knots worth of breeze, heavy rain.

Today, every time one of our Spanish-speaking planting crew would say "entonces", which means "then", I would think of Toonces The Driving Cat:

If dogs drove cars, all you'd have to do to create a horrible wreck would be to roll a tennis ball out into the road....for retrievers that is. Other dogs might be more apt to brake and go at squirrels and kitties.

Since they don't have thumbs, I think we are safe.

I have never heard of this Tonces kitty. Is he/she a good driver?

Our weather??? Just rain and a light breeze. Not even heavy rain. I was getting psyched up to go somewhere nearby that would be sunny next week, but that area no longer shows happy suns on their weather forecast. Just clouds and rain.

I have been vacuuming everything that I can't throw in the washer and trying to depollinize the bedroom. I only found one sock to decrease the Socks Without Partners pile.

Toonces is a horrible driver, the skits always ended with he and his passengers flying off a cliff and bursting into a hideous, raging inferno

Wow. How did I miss that?

It was on Saturday Night Live in the early 90's if I remember right, I was just a wee pup at the time but I seem to remember John Lovitz riding around with him so that would be about the right time frame

Oh, that was when they were doing away with my job. Not a good time.

What do the arrows mean? If I click on the Portland radar, the storm arrow is just about on top of us East Countians.

 

[RandyMac]

Thunder cells.
We got them too.
We call it Cape Mendocino Effect.

we get the pink triangles now and then.

The arrows are the direction that particular storm is moving. The sections of the arrow indicate how fast that cell is moving. Your arrows have a black square at it's beginning. That indicates a normal rain shower storm. There are different symbols that go at the foot of the arrow that depict different types of weather ie: hail, tornado, etc. There is an area on the weather map that will give you more info on that, and you can shut off the arrows thingy.

about 2 more days of serious catbriar wading, thick entangled waist deep catbriar chasing scattered to moderately good timber. makes navigation and escaping very tiresome.

Hi Joe. Hope all's well over there.

 

[HorseFaller]

raining sideways, good day to hideout in the shop.

I did the same. Still sucked to go out in the downpour to cut cookies.

Way to early after three weeks off, just to take a two and a half hour crummie ride.

 

[paccity]

going to have to break out one of the boats here soon.:msp_rolleyes:

This wind stuff, what ever it is needs to stop. I worked monday, 2 hours tuesday, 2 hours wednesday, 6 hours yesterday. I listened as my neighbors hours get squished about 0DarkThirty this morning which ment the fire department was there all night. Party lights flashing and making all kind of unnecessary noise. Time to drink another pot of coffee.

That makes for a long day. Any place to park a travel trailer up there?

 

[slowp]

I think I will be making a boat in my ridgetop shop. It has been dumping mass quantities of rain here.

Up the road or down the road?
