  1. Finally made it back to my home base at #Eugene, #Oregon Mahlon Sweet Field (KEUG) in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet after a nice tour of the #EU where I visited the #UK, #Denmark, #Austria, #France and #Italy.

    Headed for the barn here at FL280 over the Three Sisters in the #Cascades Wilderness of the #PNW.

    I can report that there was no shortage of virtual Jet-A over there. Real Jet-A? Good luck with that here in a few weeks.

  13. Last night was our second lecture of the MSHI Volcano Naturalist program. The title of the lecture was Volcanos 101. The starting point was plate tectonics then burrowing into the regional setting. Then a focus on igneous rocks, petrology, minerology, geochemistry. It’s a complicated topic but was presented well. I can see it being very challenging and difficult to visualize for someone who has never had a class in geology. #geology #volcano #tectonics #Cascades #PNW #igneous

  23. #California Issued Warning Over ‘Onslaught’ of #AtmosphericRivers

    By Amanda Greenwood, Dec 17, 2025

    "Following last week’s atmospheric rivers—which triggered flooding in the #Cascades and #WashingtonState—the #WestCoast is facing another series of storms, now shifting south. These systems are expected to bring heavy rain and mountain snow to #Oregon and #NorthernCalifornia from Wednesday into the weekend and next week, according to senior meteorologists at The Weather Channel.

    "In summary, these meteorologists have forecast that Wednesday could bring heavy rain and high winds to the northwest and far northern parts of California, lessening to showers on Wednesday afternoon.

    "Another atmospheric river will then hit #Oregon, Washington, #Idaho, and #Montana on Thursday, bringing snow and rain. By Friday, the system is expected to move into southern Oregon and northern California, particularly affecting areas north of the Bay Area. Over the weekend, there is a concern that northern California will be badly affected by rainfall on Sunday, with locally heavy rain forecast to return to Oregon and Washington.

    "They've predicted that the heaviest rainfall is expected to fall over the weekend, in western Oregon and northern California, particularly #Siskiyou and coastal ranges along the California coast, where up to 5 inches of rain is forecast. This is likely to cause #FlashFlooding and possibly even #landslides—especially in areas that have recently experienced #wildfires.

    "Already flooded areas in Washington—particularly the Skagit, Snohomish, Green, White, Cowlitz, Chehalis, and Yakima Rivers—could experience secondary crests, a later rise in river levels, from the additional rainfall. Although levels aren’t expected to be as high as last week, it could cause 'major flooding,' especially along the #SkagitRiver."

  29. This week's #ThursdayFiveList theme is #RainyDayMusic.

    We don't actually have a rainy day in Helsinki today, but nevertheless, I was so overwhelmed by the number of great rain tunes that I ended up doing two lists, and still had to leave a lot of favorites out of them.

    Here's the first one:

    The Cascades: Rhythm Of The Rain (1963)
    youtube.com/watch?v=PZhKh7rwh4k

    Irma Thomas: It's Raining (1962)
    youtube.com/watch?v=8geaBMBAiqI

    Pat Lundy: It's Rainin' Outside (1963)
    youtube.com/watch?v=drz1K0J5UHI
