It might finally be warming up in Oregon this week; at least, here in the Willamette Valley. I've been running the heat since November. C'mon Spring!
Got a tip for us?

Via Northwest Aitlines. Interesting that when I was hired in 1986, I had a choice of Northwest or Delta, both offered me jobs. I picked NW because they had no B scale, and I still ended up working for Delta 20 so years later.
I loved the southern suburbs and other than Winter, prefer Minnesota to Houston for a variety of reasons.

Escaped for a long weekend. Wouldn’t you know it’s the nicest TC’s weekend too.
I’ll spend it by the pool...once I clean it.

TC? Looks very nice and warm. Warmer than here. We had slightly warm weather but it's been windy for a few days now.
Kindle time?
Provided you haven't accidentally shot yours and thrown it out of an Uber while a passing by big rig ran over it.
60 on my run this morning, 66 right now looking at Venus. Not bad at all.
What is it? You needed a zoom lens... could be a bunny or a Roomba grass cutter, gee.
Ah. Grass cutters with webbed feet. Quaint.
(and i may have invented that line of Roomba products, but for manicured lawns, why not?)
Not a fan of weather over mid-70s but honestly that sounds really good to me right now. My furnace doesn't know heating season is wrapping up. Still cuts in with the thermostat set to 62 even during the daytime unless it's really sunny. And forget after nightfall, we're down in the 20s again before midnight. Tuesday it's finally supposed to get up into the 40s in the overnights,,
Looks like it’s supposed to be in the mid-60’s tomorrow finally 
I’m in the running for a job in Anchorage so next winter/spring could make the north country look quaint

Nasty humid weather. I'll probably program the central air for the interim before we head into summer.

Ducks! They would look beautiful in your Big Green Egg.

I'm still lost. Are you at one of your California or Florida properties?
Rancho Mirage for a few days to settle a few things...mostly my mind. Back in the TC. Oh, ducks. I’ve roasted Peking Duck. It’s a long process but fun. The flavor was so-so. So much easier to just buy it fresh at The House of Wu.
Here’s one of my attempts.
Ah. How was your flight? The whole of the state had some beautiful weather this past weekend. We're going to enjoy the next few weeks of warm-mild weather before summer. Though I think we'll have a mild summer like last year.
@Gutwrench You need to use straw. Or source birch or lychee wood.

That's what I thought about our upcoming (at last) Spring as of the sunny Monday we had. In a burst of enthusiasm a bunch of us kin scheduled a lazy lunch for today that's about a 50-mile (one way) drive for each of us. Yeah, in the driving rain and a 40mph breeze making 52ºF feel like 35 instead. Well at least the food was delicious so we'll try the same place again if our clothes ever dry out.
So Monday was it for Spring? I guess Summer can't be far behind... what is this critter in between??!

I've lived in California for a few decades with some years here and there posted elsewhere across the US. Spring... a real spring season is incredibly rare here. Maybe in other parts of the state. Driving to work on triple digit days is a blast. Mainly because it's always going to be low 70s to low 80s. One of the benefits of building out your locations in coastal areas. It's cool in the summer and not too cold in the winter.
Worst place I've ever lived was probably Alabama. The humid summers sucked. You could shower, dry off, get out and walk to your dresser and you'd be sweating again. Best place I was sent to was near Hilton Head Island. I was there for about eight months and I'd made a trip out to the place with co-workers nearly ever weekend. Very fun times.
Hot, ~100F and windy. I spent the entire time in and around the house. It was great! Very relaxing. The flight was at 6:30 pm and comfortable. It put me in late (for an early bedtimer like me) but MSP is easy to traverse and I live 15 minutes away.
