shipping Delays from Oregon

USA_Eli_A - 22-12-2008 at 10:14 AM

well, #@%$#!e, I've got 12 inches and i'm at 200ft above sea level. everything is closed or dangerous here. so if you are waiting for a shipment..I'm very sorry to report that due to hazardous conditions and tons of delay and the fact it is still snowing...I'm not shipping anything before Christmas.

Not good news, but I'm a one man army and can't get it all done and maintain a respectable quality of life.

Ah come on Eli, you call that snow? We've had about 24" since Friday. We got a solid 12" yesterday. Snowed from about 9am to 9pm. Nice fluffy pow which is a rarity in these parts in seems.

my truck has been parked here for 24 hrs in this photo....taken last night, before 3 more inches fell....

some might ask, is he snowkiting in that snow...I'd say hell yeah, but the winds are gusting into the high 30mph range, and in the city, it's bs to try to ride...but I'm getting a ton of sledding in...

rigging a rope to the care for some tow snowboarding...

all the highways are closed, and I'm stoked...

Kite NW...DOOD CAN WE SEE SOME PICS THAT SOUND FN SWEET!!!


well, like I said, since 1980, I think it's rad to have this much snow. I'm not at all worried about kiting in it...because I'm so lucky to get to kite nearly everyday...I'm just having some mirrion pond pale ale and huggin my honey...+ I have a very cranky husky who is rather tough to keep up with..

for me this is rad having all the snow around. Ellis said he's got 14in in his yard + whatever comes today...

happy holidays!!!

Hey I'm over near Portland and it is freakin' wild- people driving snowmobiles on a 6 lane road. There's been some grinning idiot (ok- guilty- it's me) doing a lot of cookies and plowing through snow drifts in parking lots. Local government stuff is even closed, and yesterday's high was 21. We just don't get this kind of weather around here. Crazy fun.
