Seems like about half the active population. What
is it, the old Boeing machinists hangout?

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.

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

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

GP.

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

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.

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.

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.

"Seattle" is an Indian word meaning "40 degrees and raining."

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.

Temperatu 79.5

Max: 99.9 @ 04:27 PM

Humidity: 79

98% is common at night.

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