mornin Randy.  How are you on this cold winter morning?

Warm and wet.....went from a low of 8 deg and a total of 30'' of snow to 50 degrees, sideways rain and flooding

Gotta love NW Washington winter weather

On the bright side, I have my power and running water back and we can get in and out of the place again

You guys usually get a lot of rain this time of year, right?

Oh we get some rain year round, but not like this.....12'' in 24 hours in the Olyimpics and  6+ in the cascades with the snow level back up to 7000 feet.  Just about every river and stream is flooding     We are usually pretty mild and don't have these extremes but once every 20 or 30 years. Now add 24'' to 30 '' of snow melt to the mix and you have a recipe for disaster

I've seen it on the news....it's pretty rough out there on you guys.

we had major flooding here last week when we lost all the snow.  Now its back to winter.

[RaptorRandy]

Well, luckily I live up high enough that I'll not have to deal with any flooding and just lots of up rooted trees to cut up and some erosion on the driveway. I do feel sorry for the people in the low lands though.

We've got plenty of snow up at my parents place. I'd say easily 1' more than 1 hour south.. in st paul
enough to where my bro is driving to west south dakota to pick up a sled this weekend.

[socalrappy700]

Has your bro had anyluck with jobs or selling the quad?

[Flynbyu]

I posted the charity auction in my local Craigslist, and on Craigslist motorcycle forum.

[socalrappy700]

Good call bro, I'll post it up on craigslist here and out west.

[Krandall]

Has your bro had anyluck with jobs or selling the quad?

No and no.

Came to a mutual conclusion that it's best just to hold onto the EX until summer when there's more desire for a quad for people. That way he doesn't lose his ass on it.

from the parts hes sold though, he is driving to West south dakota this weekend to pick up a sled so.. he's doin alright.

[socalrappy700]

wasn't that his mod money for when he does get a 700?

[Krandall]

No, just money in general to get a 700.  At this point, I think he's fine. He's got a quad and a sled on the way
Hard to argue
