Great! Just in time for my bike ride home- seems this is the second time in less than a week ....

Although it is hard to believe :dunno:- it's quite sunny out now.... but that's what I was saying on Thursday before the storm hit.

Couple of twisters that day and gusts to 80 over in Mollala. I was at work, lost power to the plant when a transformer blew. Nice little fire on the hill across the road.

Aim low. Reach your goals, and avoid disappointment.
