• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Got blown right out of their socks

Sadly passed away, December '23.
I finally had to remove the cover or risk losing it, perhaps forever. :) Looks like someone got blowed right outta their socks.

Looks very familiar. Probably the same storm here also. Heavy winds. Trees down, power outages and quite a hail storm also. Ferry service to Vancouver Island cancelled for tonight.
 
Friday, I lost half the front of my big garage. It’s steel faced and it peeled it like a can. My neighbors lost their steel roof and my other neighbor lost his entire barn. Trees snapped everywhere and there are no leaves on any trees to cause that. They said 65 mph sustained winds and gust at 70 hit. Through it was all over. Saturday was beautiful. My boys and I bent all the metal back and rescrewed it for the insurance company to come look at. I can’t believe the screws were still in the wood it ripped the steel through the screws. Then yesterday the storm hit a second time. No damage but 50 mph winds. This has been a crazy spring. We only have had .75 inches of snow and rain combined for March.
 
The weather has not been our friend this season, so far. We too have had nasty winds, but so far, no great damage. The bad stuff has bypassed us to the West and the East. Yesterday, 60 degrees but the wind blowing out of the NW made it feel like it was in the 30's. In AK, we would have considered the 60's a WARM day for March.
