It was perfect…

Pay attention Aussies,

Tell them to Go Fuck Themselves this time.

Just remember that they can’t take what they can’t find.

It’s tragic.

Greg Biffle was a local boy.

He grew up in Camas Washington which shares a border with Washougal and is 20 minutes from here. I have lived in Camas myself.

Although I never met the guy personally, I know several people who knew him as he was growing up.

He made his name in NASCAR but what really hit me when I heard of his death was his humanitarian side that I remembered.

When the hurrican wiped out parts of Appalachia last year, he took his own helicopter, using his own fuel on his own time and delivered desperately needed supplies to those people who were hopelessly cut off way back in the Hollers.up in the hills of North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee.

That says it all about the man’s character to me.

My condolences to his family and the families of the folks who went down with him.

Boy Howdy.

You may or may not have heard about these Atmospheric Rivers we have been dealing with here in the Pacific NorthWest for over a week but I’m here to tell you that these things are no joke.

They come out of the SouthEast clear from over by New Zealand and just piledrive water, wind and seasonally warm temperatures right into the Pacific Northwest, relentlessly.

There is massive flooding going on North of me clear to British Columbia and it’s not supposed to stop until like this coming weekend.

Inches of rain, PER DAY and saturated soil means rivers going over full flood stage, dikes failing and entire valleys completely flooded from foothill to foothill along with the cities, towns and communities in them.

On top of that, there are Blizzards happening in the upper mountain passes with lots and lots of road closures.

Last night, The Winds hit.

And they hit hard around here. My buddy told me at work yesterday that they clocked a wind gust up on Mt. Hood at 138 miles an hour.

Here locally, the lights went out at 1:28 AM last night and they didn’t get power restored at my house for 12 hours.

My buddy lives up on a big hill just North of Washougal, about 20 miles east of here and he has 100 foot Fir trees all over his property. He sent me a picture of part of his yard after he got home yesterday afternoon showing the top of a huge Fir tree that had broken off and landed in his yard. Just the top, was 10 inches across and he got massively lucky because it landed IN BETWEEN his and his wife’s cars without toucjing either one of them.

The people up North of me, between here and the Seattle area, have been double and triple fucked by these storms with videos of entire houses and large barns floating down rivers. Some people have literally lost everything they own and there are massive mandatory evacuations up and down the Western part of the state.

Oregon didn’t excape unscathed and they have similar issues going on in some places down there, mainly closer to the coast.

It ain’t over by a long shot and this is going to go down in history as one of the greatest series of storms ever recorded.

If you are the praying kind, there are a few MILLION people who would certainly appreciate you saying a few for them.

By some stroke of luck, other than the power going out last night, we have so far remained relatively unscathed here.

I Thank God for sparing us that.

I stumbled across this on Youtube when I had it going on in the background and it had been so long since I had heard it I didn’t recognize it at first.

It’s been AT LEAST forty years since I last heard this, back when I was living in San Jose CA.

It captures Ronny James Dio in his prime.

This one will piss you off.

It does me as I get ready to drag my broken old ass off to work again.

I eat so many of these damn things every night after work that my farts smell just like ’em.

I go through a bag every couple of days and The Wifely Unit makes sure to get me through the week every time she goes shopping.

Lucky for her, she lays on the couch at night across the room watching TV so she doesn’t get Crop Dusted.

So, what’s your favorite snack?

Wowww.

Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead at their Brentwood home on Sunday, according to TMZ.

The LAPD confirmed that they had responded to the home at 3:40 p.m. and discovered two deceased victims. The LAPD described the deaths as “an apparent homicide,” but did not confirm the victims’ identities. ABC7 reported that the victims appeared to have been stabbed.

A family member close to the Reiners was being questioned by authorities, law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times.

A Los Angeles Fire Department official stated that the deceased were a man and a woman, aged 78 and approximately 68 years old, matching Reiner and Singer’s ages. Detectives from the LAPD Robbery Homicide Division responded to the home to conduct the investigation.

I recieved an Email notification from the LA Times saying 2 people were found dead in his house but with no further info so I did a quick internet search and found the above story at Variety.com.

RIP Meathead.

Them dirty SOB’s anyway.

I’ve had the same Gmail account for so long I can’t even remember, 15,20 years maybe?

The thing is, I don’t really use it much at all anymore.

I use Protonmail and have for the last 5 or 6 years. You can have your Gmail automatically forwarded to Protonmail so you don’t have to mess with old accounts and password hassles.

The problem there is that after a while, your Gmail account gets full and you have to go in and delete a bunch of stuff occasionally, otherwise you will start getting notifications that your Gmail account is full and they will start hammering you, trying to sell you more storage space.

Like I just had over TWENTY THREE THOUSAND emails in my Inbox!

In the past I have spent hours and hours going in and deleting 50 Emails at a whack and trust me when I say hours and hours.

I finally get sick and tired of the repetition and stop well short of getting anywhere near ten thousand.

Well no more of that crap.

I found a Youtube video that is less that two minutes long that shows you how to Mass Delete All Of Them!

It only takes a few seconds to do but depending on how many you have, it may take several minutes for Google to actually get in there and get rid of them but I am here to tell you this works. I just checked my Email Inbox a second ago and I went from 23,000+ to ONE!

So if this is something you would like to do, I will post the video below but be warned

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN THERE THAT IS IMPORTANT AND YOU WANT TO SAVE THEN YOU NEED TO MOVE THEM FROM YOUR INBOX TO ANOTHER FOLDER!

This works for all your folders and you can clean out your Spam folder in seconds too.

So if this is something you are interested in doing, here you go.

Yer welcome!

If you can’t understand how it works after this there is no hope for you.

I’m like, OH MY GOD DUDE, WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!

People have been moving around this entire planet ever since we raised up on two legs without GPS for fuck’s sake.

Get A Grip!

21h

The other night I was driving in pouring rain, fully dark, and the car randomly lost GPS. No location. No navigation. Which also meant no FSD. I tried two software resets while driving just to get GPS back. Nothing worked. So there I was, manually driving in terrible conditions, unsure of positioning, no assistance, no guidance. And it genuinely felt unsafe. For me and for the people in the car. Then it hit me. This feeling – the stress, the uncertainty, the margin for error – this is how most drivers feel every single day. No FSD. No constant awareness. No backup. We’ve normalised danger so much that we only notice it when the safety net disappears.

BOO HOO, Woe Is Me!

Worhtless piece of shit.

This, is insanity.

This is Peter Hickman’s view during the fastest lap ever recorded on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course.

It’s not always Headbanging Metal son.

That means it’s time for a really good tune.

Blame Irish. he brought it up a few days ago and it’s been an ear worm ever since.

Appaently, this is a real thing.

Yee Ha Motherfuckers.
