Random Photos ‘You took’

[special-K]

WOW!! The flooded truck left to sit a week was enough. Then the not so small fire?? Jeezy Peezy, that's some real carnage right there! It's like a boat sitting out on the water burning till it sinks. Only this would the whole marina. That sky view really sends it home. Shewee!

And a Hummingbird in the snow?? Certainly never seen that! They are long gone from here long before the first frost

I took the week off with the plan to work out in my little shop. Snowed day after Christmas, about 6 to 8 inches (quite a bit more other places around here). Next couple days we’re mid teens but no snow. Yesterday it wasn’t bad (still too cold to be in shop) and with the wind and sorta warmer it helped sluff off some snow. Then it went and snowed again last night. Weather app says maybe more? So today will make another day of me not working on any of the projects I was hoping to get done. I have heat out there but it isn’t that effective. Too chilly for my PNW bones to want to work in. Probably balmy in there compared to what you Midwest folks are used to.
Think I’ll start a fire in our little fire pit and sit in one of our overstuffed fluffy chairs

Water is an unbelievably powerful force.

Wife took it at Ground zero near the reflection pool Wednesday this past week . Didn’t know squirrels could read

After seeing Dieseldawg142 pictures, I'm not going to complain about a little snow shoveling! So very sad to see all that destruction. Did get the 70 freed from it's snowy grave yesterday.

also affected our work. was off for 5 days, couldn't get no materials delivered to our local jobs, and couldn't get out of here for our out of town work.
when the water receeded enough to open some roads, this is what we found at one of our job sites.
it's a seismic upgrade to a skool roof. we tear off the old roof, then the contractor's crew comes in at night and does the seismic work to the roof, then we come back and watertight them up.
as it's the winter, the contractor hired a company to come and hoard the job site (basically shrink wrap the roof). we got very lucky, the hoarding stayed on the side that we had the roof ripped off of, the side that went is not done, but at least we had the roof based in. as it was, there was damage, 'bout 15 G's of water damage and a couple grand of physical damage from the hoarding smacking stuff...
check out the water blister that helped bring it down. we cut one blister open and approx 5-600 gallons of water gushed out

like i said, we had countless slides all over the place...like this unfortunate guy down the road from me, don't think the geo-techs are gonna let him move back in.
thought it was just another slide, till ya drive around it and see where it came from....poor guy..


slides all over...


worst part imo is we lost pretty much every back road and FSR road. me and the dawgs have not been able to get down pretty much every single back road we tried. the valley will look a lot different for riding next summer.
there was never a river or creek in this area, took out approx 3 miles of the road

I have friends just outside of Abbotsford that are still trying to save their home and business from flooding caused by a landslide. The rains just keeping coming without let up making things worse.

Those are some amazing pics.... the damage there is mind-boggling.

You wouldn’t know it was 80 degrees here with tornadoes just 2 days ago.

I saw yesterday on a YouTube weather channel that some of you down there were supposed to get snow, and frost/freeze warnings all the way down to the gulf..... Bummer..

My area got about 5" of snow but thankfully majority of it has melted off of the main roadways.

Road find .

I've never heard of a Fendt either. I first saw a Deutz tractor at the first tractor pull I ever attended. It amazed me with it'd torque. My dad said German Panzer tanks were Deutz powered. You know, Diamond Reo tried producing Deutz powered trucks. They had a distinctive look. The first "ant eater". They did not go over well, possibly for the lack of heat



Running this must have been a hateful job . I wonder what they did for a defroster?

i don't know what they did for heat?maybe a gas heater like a vw bug?a 100 years ago when i was a kid in Montreal,there was a girl in my class,her dad was a salesman for Diamond Reo,i think back then they had Mack cabs?you're probably right about the Duetz engines in Panzer tanks.i did see a documentary one time about WW2 and they talked about some of the German tanks with Maybach engines and being so complicated and hard to work on out in field,it led to alot of them being left behind?interesting stuff.

Dieseldawg, I'm going to quit complaining about the cold weather around here after seeing your photos.

Hello fresh and me are becoming really good friends…

[special-K]

Mmmmyummy! I'm a fresh ingredients guy myself.

Last week I had left over ground chicken taco meat and made a pizza with it. Salsa verde, Mexican four cheese blend, taco meat, refried black beans, chopped pablano pepper and onion bits (also cooked in the taco meat), and some pickled jalapeno slices. Out of the oven i crumbled some blue corn tortilla chips over it along with sazon and adobo.

Before going in


I grilled marinated chicken breasts last night (smoky habanero). With leftovers I'm going to make another pizza tonight!

some of our local mts the last few days

[dieseldawg142]

a little bit of the snow on the mts melted....made a mess of the FSR's (and them glowing things are my dawgs eye's..)


logging companys are bringing their equipment down off the mountain. them foresters are pretty big when ya park next to 'em. the cutting head alone is as big as my hood and prob weighs more than the whole truck...

I do believe Majestic applies here. Wow!

We've had a heck of a winter, even for us.
