OT - how many RCMers live in Washington State?

From the stats post last week. Top time zone is Eastern(-400), followed by folks in the west, then central USA. Only a few in Mountain time and elsewhere.

I do! I do! Do I get a prize? Eric

Well, I'm here in Oregon, which is kind of like Washington only we are phasing out the English language a lot quicker.

Jon

Well, I did 10 years in the Republic of King County, now in the Socialist Republic of Oregon. Guess that counts a little.

Are we? For which other language? We still speak 'Murrican here in GP.

I don't live in Washington but I have been to Longview and saw the famous squirrel bridge.

Wes

I've made no secret of my location here in Western Washington, but you can't blame it on Boeing. Moved here from Utah to retire----been here for 11 years now, with no regrets.

Poor Grant. Now his state will be overrun by those who have already seen the World's Largest Ball of String and 6 other Wonders.

HEY

That claim belongs to Darwin,MN; the town next to me. It was done by the late Francis Johnson. I knew him. The twine ball is on display right across from the city park inside an enclosed air conditioned gazebo.

Morton Thiokol?

I cut my teeth as a trainee machinist in '57 with Sperry Utah Engineering laboratories, later to become Univac, Unisys, and likely other names that I may not know. Spent 7-1/2 years there. Went on to work in four other shops in 2-1/2 years, then started my own business----ten years to the day that I was hired at Sperry.

The only contact I had with Thiokol was when I was employed at one of the job shops (United Precision, in Salt Lake City). Ran a few things for them while there.

One of the supervisors/managers at Sperry later returned to Thiokol (from where he originally came), the snow cat division, a great guy named Ross Eskelson. He was shop superintendent at Sperry when I was working in precision grinding.

Everyone should know folks up there go off the deep end after 7-9 months of drizzle or rain and no blue sky.

And just what exactly is wrong with the deep end again? The shallow end is for... well, you know . And hey, it's just a little drizzle:

Snarl... it's a warm rain

That sudden transition to unobstructed UV and lack of moisture, naturally causes people to go off the deep end.

It is currently (0315 PDT) 63 degrees and 94% humidity. Too warm.

Lived on the coast in Northern Ca. Know what a fog bank all day and rain for months means. We had TV. Lots of reports nut cases out of good folk after months of gray and constant pounding on the roof.

This is off my web page from my weather station. This was posted 8:00 pm or 20:00 if you wish. Temperature: 79.5 Rate of change: -6.0 °/hr Min: 73.0 @ 06:06 AM Max: 99.9 @ 04:27 PM

Humidity: 79 Min: 34 @ 03:47 PM Max: 98 @ 02:50 AM

98% is common at night.

Runs a nice bathtub curve with cloud effects when temp is up and RH is down.
