Great shot from Klickitat PUD camera at wind turbines north of Rufus, OR. It’s awesome to see the storm developing when you choose the 2 hour playback. #WAWX share.watchduty.org/camera/YWxlc...

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

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.

@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?

Hey geeky friends that like space exploration: Check out these coasters! I ordered a acrylic wrist rest from the same person and may need to add these to the collection 😁 My home office desk space theme is going to look even more awesome! drop.com/buy/moon-key...

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. 🤣 #DadJoke #Rimshot

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. #TDOV

Posting up for #PDXTST, we are currently in Thunderstorm Watch

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. NPR: A poignant Ash Wednesday after LA wildfires www.npr.org/2025/03/05/n...

@southwest.wsdot.wa.gov glad to see traffic updates on Bluesky! I've missed them since ieft that other site. It's great to have you here! 👍

In re the notice we all just got on our phones: #PDXTST

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!

@jasonmruby.bsky.social videos that seem to be AI generated Al have been popping up on the old DP YouTube page… is that you or didn’t get hijacked?

“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! 😬 Image source: www.mcsweeneys.net

I needed a good laugh this morning and this skeet supplied just that! 😆 Found over at @internethippo.bsky.social

With snow and ice on the ground impacting roads on Groundhog Day, there’s only one piece of valid advice to give today. #wawx

Using QTH grid (aka Maidenhead) can be very useful for weather reports online. A couple years ago someone created a iOS Shortcut to your grid location to the clipboard. I can’t find the original post, but I’ve shared it via my iCloud account www.icloud.com/shortcuts/eb... #ORwx #WAwx #BCwx

Don’t forget about mPING the next few days! Every data point matters! mping.nssl.noaa.gov #WAwx #ORwx #PDXTST

LOL #StarTrek

I like it when forecasts say snow levels will be 200 or 300 ft. elevation next week. Home is sitting at 250 ft! 😁 CN85qq Padden Pkwy & I-205 Vancouver, not B.C., Clark County, not Nevada, Washington, not D.C. Near Portland, Oregon, not Maine. 🤣 #PNWwx

Some good news: we’ve set a new record for the earliest we’ve filed our taxes! Yippie!

I’m about ready to throw a child like fit just because I want low elevation snow! 🙃

Here’s a Timelapse video of my drive down from Government Camp, OR to Zig Zag, OR this past Friday after a service call. Lower elevation snow would be nice… looks like it should be this weekend!

Well hello @ragaskill57.bsky.social! 🤣

Bless my heart. I just spent 15 minutes, one ladder (valted ceiling in master bedroom), and one step stool (standard ceiling in hallway) to find out the SimpliSafe smoke detector named "Master Bwseokm" with a low battery was sitting on the piano in the office. 🤦‍♂️

Quit Twitter/X a year ago or so and just deletedy TikTok account this morning. Makes me feel a little bwtter in all this chaos.

What the actual...? I think he may need to sit in on a Geology 101 term (I know of a great instructor in Central Washington 🙂). We have no water to spare in the PNW. With every recent winter we hope to get enough snow and rain so we don't have severe drought. It's only going to get worse.

Kinda feels like a whole lotta people found out for the first time today that there's a very large, very vibrant progressive wing of Christianity (and religion in general).

This just hit me this morning that we've seen the executive order singing event before...

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Written right there in the Constitution. The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

If you’re in Southern California and have never tried the app Watch Duty now is the time to download it. You’ll get the latest updates on wildfires in your area. I can’t recommend it enough.

Always read all the steps of an installation guide. I was fixing a different piece of equipment when I saw this today on the job. It was a real head scratcher... Is it running?! Whoever installed it didn't read/understand "4.5 Prepare Electrical Power Connection" in section "4. Installation"

#Whamageddon I was hit last night while working in my garage thanks to an Amazon Music holiday playlist. 🙄 Several songs in I had to stop work, walk over to the TV to verify (cuz it could be a different song 😆) Laughed out loud that I actually checked. "I was so close," I said outloud to noone.🤣

What a great combo!

I'd like to offer my services up to my friends for free! In honor of 🍪🍪 National Cookie Day 🍪🍪I am willing to perform taste tests of any cookies you bake today! 😆 #NationalCookieDay!

That time in 2022 when I played with a video AI app that tweaks still photos into videos. Kinda spooked my wife a bit. 😁 #WeirdAl #funny

When I question if I’m younger or older all I have to do is look at the cereals in our cupboard… #midlife

It’s our family movie night. We ordered gyros. So what movie should we watch? How about My Big Fat Greek Wedding?! 😂 It will be fun to watch with our 18 y/o son. 😁

Could watch this loop on repeat for hours - Our rapidly intensifying storm offshore & #AtmosphericRiver aimed at #OR/#NorCal. #VanIsle expected to see wind gusts 100km/h+ in exposed areas. Metro #Vancouver #BC gusty winds but nothing too impactful. #BCwx #BCstorm #WAwx #CAwx #BombCyclone

If a windstorm lasts longer than 6 hours you should consult your local meteorologist for advice.
