I helped Dale and Kathy with their slow cleanup of his parent’s house and grounds. I brought some wood home, both old boards and tree parts. The latter are still in the back of the truck. Most of it is green, so not to be used until, maybe, 2025. The old wood is likely 50 to 70 years old and catches fire easily. I use the radial arm saw to cut it to proper lengths.
Supposedly the Cascades are having a major snow storm. So far the snow is causing accidents and the winds (NW Oregon and SW Wash) knocked power out for thousands of folks. No problems here. Five inches of snow, and now some rain – for a week.
Significant rain will start soon in Oregon and Washington. Flooding on the west side of the Mountains is expected. We’ll see.
Friday I had lunch in CWU’s Theatre Arts building, with the Chair of the department providing the “scholarship” lunch. Afterwards, Christina gave us a backstage tour. The stage was set for a performance of A Christmas Carol. While intrigued, I still didn’t go to the actual performance. The drive to town costs me $5 and the price of admission is $20. With nasty weather and being “cheap”, I stayed home.
Three of the 5 lights I’ve ordered have arrived. They are a modern design to replace the 1970’s look. They are also the LED type and ought to last longer than I do.
The same can be said for the new WA driver’s license I had to get. This one is good for 8 years. I don’t expect I’ll be doing highway driving in 2032. That’s a scary thought.
