They are already telling folks to expect power outages.Only if the power stays on. I'll be somewhat amused if the grid ends up not being able to support all the demand this weekend.

I think we will be ok here. I think the proximity of the dams/BPA/etc. helps. Neighbor works for ACE and they have been doing a lot of work on the dams - upgrades and such. Of course, the dams are just the source for the grid, but I get the impression that the grid in PNW is ok when it comes to heavy loads. Wind storms/ice/etc., not so much.Only if the power stays on.

That's not a bad thing IMO. As long as she obeys commands and stays off the kitchen counters.At least yours thinks he's part another dog. I'm afraid mine thinks she's part cat.

(yes, she is standing on a 6" window sill)
Yes and no. She's almost as tall as me on her back paws (5'7"). I don't leave her alone in the kitchen with food out, anywhere, any longer.That's not a bad thing IMO. As long as she obeys commands and stays off the kitchen counters.
The old saying goes, that you can trust a dog with your children, your life and your house, but not your sandwich.Yes and no. She's almost as tall as me on her back paws (5'7"). I don't leave her alone in the kitchen with food out, anywhere, any longer.
With how often she's brought back moles and rabbits, I'm surprised she doesn't eat the cats. If it gets super hot this weekend, she's the one I'm most worried about. Easily overheated on a short hike at 80 degrees. She looks German but she's a husky through and through.
No joke, I used to hang out in the 104 degree hot tub, during the day, in Phoenix, in summer. That and Bikram Yoga will make a hot day actually feel cool for awhile.
This is a "dispersed" camping site up by Lost Lake:

Great little creek to hang out by. Our next trip there, I plan to hike up and downstream a ways to see what's there.
My wife is working the PDX Night Market, so we'll be sticking around here for the weekend. She's hoping the AC they promised will cool the place off enough to keep her resin artwork from melting!
I love the big blue swamp cooler. There is suppose to be onshore breeze coming up the Juan that should moderate here by at least 10 degrees over the Seattle metro area.We just camped over at the coast (Beverly Beach) for the week and it was great, wish I could have found another camp site and stayed the weekend! Family was getting a little cranky. Stay safe fellow lead slingers
The blender is out! (non alcoholic, of course!)

Yep. Snow is gone. That picture is from Memorial Day weekend.I know where this is.
Can you even get up there yet?
A lot of my favorite places in the woods are in that area. I know you can access it from 2 routes.
Rake leaves in the fall? Isn't that why God created money and neighborhood kids?Whats funny to me is how few people understand what having a nice big tree shades your house from the heat. On my street I am the only one for blocks that has trees. One on the south side and one on the west side. Big maple trees that are great for shade in the summer.
I can hear my neighbors AC kick on hours before I need it on. I love trees even though I rake leaves in the fall.
I hope you can appreciate my hard work designing those spacious 13" wide access doorsAs someone who does HVAC-R and is on call this weekend…. I predict enough overtime this weekend that'll pay off my mortgage!
