raining harder and the wind is picking up here, generator needs a fuel tank, crummy only has a quarter tank, have 2 gallons of unmixed gas, one dead colman lantern, 2 colman stoves (though one is a serious fire hazard...) but the wood shed is full... and I think there is still half a tank of propane for the crab cooker if I need bath water...

Think I'll throw a saw in the truck tomorrow...

This one's gonna be fun. The way things funnel down here at the house we get it as bad as the headlands, we're right in the neck of the funnel in this hole. By the map we're skirting the 80 zone there. This one if it shows as they say, should have me gone for a few days. Got the kiddos all stocked up and ready. Neither want to mess with the generator. Got a couple saws ready for them and me. Last big blow I had to cut my way home around the back way. Funny thing though, I just couldn't seem to cut my way back when they called me to come in? Funny, how that works, huh?

Hang on, enjoy the ride and let us know how everyone holds up. If it stays dry I actually enjoy wind storms, specially warm ones.

Anyone want to fishing? What's wrong with 20' at 16 sec? Or with swells coming in at three different directions at the same time? There's ling cod to be had for the brave. That doesn't count the size of the wind waves either.

This shows the entire west coast if you flip through it some. Some of the charts are impressive for the forecast they are throwing.

A few bar cameras when daylight is around.

20 at 16? That would be a ride.
 
used to stay at the red building left center at the base of the bridge. big water would shake the hell out of it. kinda cool to sit on the bottom floor and watch out the big widows overlooking the channel and ocean . depoe bay or.depoe.jpg
 
We're in the Sierras again for a while. The worst of our storm will come through later today. Not a lot of rain yet but it's windy and the pines are bending over pretty good.
LOL...the County called last night to see if I was available to cut downed trees or whatever. I told them yes but I'll be perfectly happy if the phone doesn't ring. The guy I talked to just laughed.
I remember having to work on days like this...retirement is good. :drinkingcoffee:
