The Whining Thread

[redprospector]

I despise land owner's that do not take care of their property. So far the crew has found 12 trailors, 2 RV's, a hand full of campers, about 2 miles of fence, 3 bath tubs, 2 motor cycles and what looks like a Model A frame. Most of the crap was burried under black berries, scotch broom and some other forms of very annoying brush.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I have a hard time with people who aren't making the payment's, or paying the property taxes on a place that feel the need to tell the one's who are what they think they should do.
But then again, I'm not in the PNW. Maybe that's the norm there.

Which invasive came first ?

Which invasive came first? Most likely laziness.

Or oldness.

I'm trying to clean up my place, but it gets overwhelming. The former occupants were not old, but it was not a happy place and I am slowly hauling things to the dump or recycling. I found another washing machine, and have found several caches of rotting cedar fence boards. They worked at the cedar mill.
I've got a pile of cedar siding that I'm saving cuz it might come in handy, and a pile of metal roofing that is the same. That came from the demolition of the mobile home that came with the property.

I have seen old mobile homes totally covered in blackberry vines.

What kind of bath tubs did you find??

 

[RandyMac]

In our search for a house, we encountered blackberry houses, it doesn't take long for the vines to invade the walls and grow inside.

Weather is noisy here, soon to get noisier. I need to gas up old yellow, I may need to staple my hat on like Harry Ford did in Lost Ark.

Hmmm....we're taking off Wednesday for the coast. Sound like I better take the rain gear.

 

[RandyMac]

Bob, if you are headed for the Valley, you might need pontoons. They are saying 10 inches is possible.

Yup! its slowly moving in on us, at my place wind was 20-25 and gusting to 40-45 rain at times, everything is fueled and ready, drive the 73 VW cuz they float

 

[slowp]

About 3/4 of an inch overnight here. There is wind, but not scary wind, but it hitting on the east side of the house. So git yer fire gear ready, we've got east winds.

About the same here, the next surge is promised to be stronger.
I left the Texas tied up, this calls for a bigger boat.

Waterspout caught on Doppler, Cape Mendocino.

I'll bring my galoshes. We'll be at Honeydew for Thanksgiving and then, weather permitting and the road hasn't washed out, we'll head up the coast and over the Wildcat into Ferndale on Friday.

I was telling Slowp about the waves breaking clear across the road near the Cape....I think she thought I was exaggerating.

 

[RandyMac]

No exaggerating, once you made that left on the the coast, you are at the mercy of the Pacific, I have a photo that shows that section, covered in sand.
Just south of CC, 101 floods, waves continue across the swamps.

 

[mile9socounty]

What kind of bath tubs did you find??

Not a clue. Looked like some old shaped steel ones. Most of them were located in what looked like a old horse pen. No cutting brush for me today. Wind. So the boss has me going through all the saws, cleaning, putting an edge on them and replacing the worn out parts. But thats done and over with. So beer thirdy?

Catching up after vacation is more work than "real" work.

 

[RandyMac]

The front is just getting here, gusts in the 50s, they promise more in awhile.
Going to make lunch while the power is still on.

 

[slowp]

It has warmed up here. I noticed the snow line has receded on the peaks. I was not looking forward to my putting about in the shop, but it is quite pleasant which is unusual. I am doing some sticker maintenance on the Barbie Saw.

The rain is almost back to drizzle strength. Time to look at the hydromenomometerthingamajig site and see how high the river is.

Hold on they are calling for 55-100 later on , 45-50 gusts at my house at 2:00ish, this might turn into something after all, and they made fun of me for gettin the camping gear out.

 

[forestryworks]

First freeze was over a month late here in Far West TX.

And I think Fall is just as confused about its identity as the Republican party is :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[slowp]

The power flickered here. I was working on what you will soon see posted in the Chainsaw Thread, and realized I'd be in a bad place if it went out. I was in the farthest corner from the only window in the shop which is a 6" square kitty door. So, I marched to the house and got a headlight. No flickerings since. I imagine the power is out in the Cispus area.
