Taking my lunch break at Old Cannery Park after a service call in Hoquiam. Watching showers roll through.

It was a fun drive up from Vancouver WA via I-5, 12 and 101. Strong showers mixed with occasional hail on 12.

Heading back on 101 via Cathlamet for another service call.

Have a great day!

I may have found the best place to operate my high profile vehicle (Mercedes Sprinter 2500 work van) during this storm 😂

I should clarify that it was the parents of one of the special needs family members that educated myself and the rest of the family about this.

I have special needs family members. One set of parents helped me to understand that use of the R-word in is unacceptable. This was at least two decades ago.

I would have hoped we'd be past having to discuss this, but I just see things rolling backwards and not forwards these days.

Was that up at the Japanese Garden? We visited this weekend from Vancouver WA and were surprised by the fall colors that were still lingering.

@southwest.wsdot.wa.gov I saw this notice pop up on my WSDOT and I'm slightly confused. 🤔

Should it be on SR 500 vs SR 506 where Lacamas Lake is?

Or is it for the work being done on SR 506 in Vader vs Lacamas Lake?

My son just told me a friend of his finished basic training and now starts tech school for installing ejection seats.

I told him, " That sounds like an uplifting career." 😁

He said I need to leave the room. Now. 🤣

Received this at church today. I'll be wearing it tomorrow for Transgender Day of Visibility.

You are safe with me today, tomorrow and always.

I grew up there.

Some say you are smelling Sunnyside’s “Derriere”

Others say it’s the smell of money.

I guess it all depends on what side of the city limits you are on.

'God walks with us through the ashes.' A poignant Ash Wednesday after LA wildfires On Ash Wednesday, Christians hear the words "Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return." Those words ring differently for many whose churches and homes burned in the Los Angeles fires.

This hits close to home.

We had to rebuild our church almost 10 years ago after being targeted by an arsonist.

It's a long process. I hope they feel the love and support of their communities.

Holy cow. I need to remind myself to slow down when typing things on Bluesky since there isn’t an edit button yet. 😬 🤦

Luckily, my family is fluent in “PykeMannese”. 🙃

Yeah, some are just odd to listen to. 😁 I appreciate the experimentation. You should have seen my test runs using OBS back at the beginning of the pandemic… or maybe you should be happy you didn’t. 🤣

How/why is it that the Oregon Coast got more snow than Clark County, Washington has so far this winter?! Not fair! 😩

(No need to reply, I just wanted to stomp my feet and whine a bit. 😁)

I’ll admit to having only contacted my elected officials no more than twice in my 50 years.

This will change now.

Let’s light up their phone lines like it’s a Jerry Lewis telethon!

“We’ve seen this movie before,” Mrs Pykeman said this morning after we talked about some of the headlines.

“Which one?” I asked.

She fed me a couple of hints and the I got it! 😬
