How's Your Weather

Farmall Nah not Mayberry I learned a lot about people good and bad being a naïve 22yr old. So. Cal to mossy/moldy Wash. coast was a huge change, commercial fisherman now they told some tales, I use to exchange 6 paks and wine for huge Dungeness crap.

[Farmall]

My friend worked at a boat place and used to trade fishing gear to the equipment salesmen for Spiny Lobsters in Miami.... had some cool stuff. We used to trade weed for gas money but gas was 22 cents a gallon. With $5.00 I could fill my 62 VW bug and drive all week ! Another $5.00 and we could go to McDonalds all week long as well...😄. 16 Cents for a burger, 20 cents for a cheeseburger and fries were about 15 cents

Ahh the old 6 Volt beetle, I haven't had one yet but I have a '67 in the back needing some TLC. I hope I actually get around to that one someday.

Farmall. The good old days! Cigarettes were $.35 a pack.

[SoOrbudgal]

Nope I meant crab LOL der but I did take a lot crap off those salty dudes.

[Farmall]

FunkyButtLovin here you go, let me know when It’s done

FunkyButtLovin I heard you could use panty hose as a belt for those things in a pinch.

[Rwise]

LOL I used a pair of panty hose on a 49 Plymouth to get to a parts house, turned the fan good enuf to keep it cool, but did not pull the generator so well.

[Farmall]

Ah... the good ‘ol days...

[Farmall]

FunkyButtLovin I restored a lot a vintage American motorcycles thru the years and every owner thru the decades had their own views on what modifications they wanted to have. Some chopped up so badly and wired together ....and there are no parts unless you make them. Some of these companies vanished in the 1930’s before the depression. If I’m correct, there were over 200 American motorcycles before 1929 and by 1933, Only 2.

the orange line trains in Boston were supposed to be replaced in the 90s but the money mysteriously went missing in the big dig ,the train Manufacturer took all the parts we said didn't meet specs stuck them on a shelve and sold em to us a marked increase in price when we needed replacements for some parts

[Drekthar]

Breaking news its f'n cold out thar this evening...........

[oldjarhead100]

[Rwise]

I moved some girls outside, everything here cept me says spring.

Our cats and dog are doing their spring shedding already.

[oldjarhead100]

Looking like spring here in So. Oregon clear this a.m. still dark at 0545 suppose to get in the 60s. Been watching the neighbors new house build from the dirt up. Got the sub floor layed yesterday. Anyhoo garden wise it's false spring for me, just seeding sweet peas which will rot cause it's early more than likely but I continue to drag my gloved hands into the soil and plant. Going to exchange clones with a neighbor grower today I want to start some seeds for outdoor variety just a couple to also clone.

How’s your water situation up there? Heading into another drought and the federal government is goin to drain our largest reservoir for repairs. Bad timing.

Northern CA. still no rain.

[Guest]

If you feel bad about your weather just look up Utqiagvik, Alaska, the northernmost US town.

[Farmall]

I wonder why that was changed from Point Barrow? We had been planning a trip there back in the 80’s. But like many plans......💩

Farmall the local people voted to change it back to the Inuit name. I watched a YouTube video on how to pronounce it and I still can’t.

[starramus]

It's like the vernal equinox arrived early in my locale. A sunshiny 68 degrees with a gentle southerly breeze. I hope this doesn't mean the summer solstice will arrive early too.

[oldjarhead100]

Well that was a nice break but mother Nature is right back at it wind blowing like hell rain at times and snow expected on Fri , all spring bulbs are poking there heads out so I know its coming

[Jordann]

Lucky you man we still have a couple months of winter weather left before anything comes out of the ground, end of April..ice off the lakes first or second week of May. What I would do to have rain and green grass right now.

[Jordann]

Well it's been warm for a week now, after a month of minus 20 to 30 celsius, and will drop back to those temps till mid April I'm sure. Northern Ontario where I reside. Chances of frost to the en of June. Hard to call when to move plants outside...

[oldjarhead100]

shit Jordann I feel your pain we can not plant till the beginning of June but damn thats a short season

[SoOrbudgal]

The weather here in So. Oregon is quiet warm and sunny. Reminds me of the last spring just beautiful put veggies in my unheated hippy hut to veg in, then the snow bomb hit uggg i'm still uneasy about doing anything early. Yep Jordann several years back we got snow on 4th of July up the mountain near diamond lake. Stay warm my veggie/clone tent is stuffed.

[oldjarhead100]

its been nice all week but snow tonight lol
