How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood in the rain?

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could Chuck Norris? All of it!
(I know, it doesn't really make sense, but it's kind of funny anyhow)

Regarding rain - When was the last time you saw an umbrella here in the Northwest?

Regarding Californians - The boss at my last job was a displaced Californian. Nice guy but Californian through and through. He had his big house by the water in the Bay Area with his $300k boat docked out his back door. All the time he was in Oregon he complained constantly - the rain, the people, the roads, the drivers, the rain, etc.. Mostly he complained about the rain.

More power to you. Speaking of power, did yours come back on line?
And why bother saying "the power is out here" when you won't say where "here" is, O lala lad.

Yep contrary to the global warming nuts, the weather here is getting back to normal. Probably back to 9 or 10 months of rain and heavy snows again.
We don't need sun here. It only gives ya sunburn and snowblindness. Mold and moss are our state fungus. If you stand still long enough ya form a natural ghillie suit.

Reminds me of a Christian comic who talking about when he was a kid in Indiana and his drunk abusive dad died. Bob said, Good things will change around here. His mom moved them to Aberdeen, WA. He said the only thing he knew about Washington was that it rained a lot. He says, well in Aberdeen...it rains a LOT MORE.

Yeah, it came back on and disturbed my peace :-/
Damn.. I had the fire built ready for dinner and the alladin lamps filled and ready.

First, great posts !!!
Second, No one mentioned, "the Chair is against the Wall" ....
Third, and most important: "you can tell a Californian" but you can't tell them Much.

Now, for serious stuff, Taku: I have, for Six continuous years, light my house by 12 VDC LED Lights, got one on right now, as a night light. Much better, that Kerosene Lamps, though not with ambiance, if that matters...

Go to Batteries&Lights or whatever the names changed to... Or Orange Box... Get a sealed Lead Acid Battery, and talk to a lighting specialist, about their LED 12v bulbs. I use one on my Band Saw, as a mini Spot Lamp, equivalent to a 100 watt light, with no heat, and just 7" away from the cut!!!! Nice!

Same bulb is all through my 27 foot RV, as reading lights,... Then, there is what I am using for my "night light": it comes from the boating/marine section of wal-marts, has Six LED's... I can leave it ON, 24/7 connected to an 18Amphour SLA, for Three Weeks, before it sort of is dimmer... Not real noticeable Dim, just dimmer...

Hope that helps, and that last one: it is weather proof, so when it Really gets wet, in your house (I want to live, under the sea, ... Beatles...) you can still see!

philip, its really time to sleep now,

G'Night from the bottom of the BoonDocks, with a snorkel to breathe in my sleep....

Yep were going LED too. All my boat lights, trailer lights, and gradually putting all LED in the house.
I still like the old Aladdins though. Also use the colemans from time to time.
When on the farm we heated with only wood for the last 28 years.
Bought log truck loads of swamp oak for good prices. Had a good splitter and conveyor.
Don't like all these damn utility bills now.

Sunny and hot here in Cancun. It's not all fun and games as it's a work related trip. Sure beats China though.

Why LEDs?
Isn't that a greenies expense putting on us?
Ae they much cheaper to run than these high energy?
And more light?

They keep the utility bills down and I can buy more ammo
They have the 60W equivalent in the soft white for the home for about 9.00 each now.
Last year they were $65 and they use about 5% of the power a normal bulb uses and seldom burn out. I still have an old edison bulb from the 20's that still works like new.
Incadescant are a racket. You have to get the 130V versions for them to even last a yr.
LED's on a trailer are brighter and last forever, even on a boat trailer. And no power drain.
Most will run on anywhere from about 5 to 30 volts also. No surge isues. Not sure what the range is on the 115V versions.
