NOTE: This site's focus has shifted to Dungeons & Dragons, fantasy role-playing games, and fantasy fiction. If that sounds like your kind of thing, check out my D&D and gaming content or sign up for my free monthly newsletter for dungeon masters. The rest of this old content, motorcycling, aviation, and the like, is still here, just not browsable from the main navigation anymore.
It’s raining. It’s Oregon. It’s November. That’s what happens in Oregon in November.
It rains.
I’m not talking namby pamby pissle drizzle. I’m talking rain.

But from November through February, it sucks. Here’s the current weather radar image for the area so you can see what I mean. [external link]
In the meantime, what I do while I’m stuck inside looking out the window at the gray and wet is dream of past and future rides in a state that otherwise is my favorite in the land.
