@louis Not true. We've had some showers off & on, but nothing of any significance. The upcoming rain
front is the only thing to get our attention recently.

@hedgehog They announced it on TV today. It's true, there's only been one sunny day since the beginning of the year! 😲
@louis Yeah so much rain this winter, the clouds are stuck over us, saying that as I type this the sun is actually shining, no warmth to it just eye candy.
Stay Bright

So glad your wife is on the way to recovery mate, how are you managing the running of the house, ?@panzer-lehr Yeah, Bay Area is going to get it with a significant rain storm starting, uh, about right now.
Good news is the wind isn't expected to exceed 20MPH or so. The last one hit 55MPH at Montara Beach
and just wrecked all the old trees around me. Fortunately the power was only down about 36hrs.
Fingers crossed.
Oh, and the wife is fine. Or as well as one can be after surgery.

Sacramento checking in — cold rain down here, heading up to Grass Valley later where it sounds like rain turning to snow in spots. Good day for coffee and turn files. ☕☕
Have a great morning everyone — stay warm and happy gaming.

@panzer-lehr I thought you were headed to the Montclair District of Oakland. When does that happen?
@nort .... before year’s end, if everything goes to plan. 😀

After almost 3 straight days of rain I thought I'd gotten lucky and I guess I did...mostly.
Woke up sometime around zero-dark-thirty this morning when the power went off. No rain or wind
at the time soo I'm thinking maybe it was just repairs being done? Tossed and turned worrying about
how I was going to deal with today with no power when...BLIP! Power came back on about 0945.
Might be a good day after all. The sun is out all nice and shiny. 😎

Had a great time up in Grass Valley seeing Josh Stone, but we got snowed in and had to stay an extra night.

☕️☕️Morning All. Ted sounds like a lively day ahead for you — those little ones never run out of energy! Hope you enjoy the visit and survive the mischief.
If the boss and I can break out of Grass Valley’s epic snowfall, we’ll be rolling into San Francisco this evening for dinner and theater. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
