Unfortunately we just have a 1 car garage and it has 4 motorcycles, 1 bicycle, lawnmower, washer/dryer, tool chests, work benches, table saw, etc in it so the four-wheeled vehicles are subjected to the elements outside. Luckily Oregon outlaws the use of salt on our roads so driving in wintery weather doesn't cause the corrosion it used to.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-72534952852150303122014-12-19T22:07:28.526-08:002014-12-19T22:07:28.526-08:00lovely pics again

There are two huge storms on the way in from the Pacific with forecast of 2-4 inches of rain here on the valley floor by Sunday night. At least we don't have to shovel the rain. Cascade mountains are supposed to see 12 inches of rain in the same amount of time. Yikes. The ski hills are hot happy to get the rain.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-80944290993316593032014-12-18T05:51:46.324-08:002014-12-18T05:51:46.324-08:00I hear it is going to get soggier this weekend.
