weather forecast

Your in the land of the rain....:)
Was there for a couple of weeks long time ago and it rained everyday. Don't need leathers but a wetsuit, snorkel and mask! :)
I gotta say it is beautiful there.
Be safe.
 
I just purchased chili pods to send to a friend who doesn't have any within 1500 miles. When you make it from the pods it is so good.
 
Cool. Never heard of chilli pods. I know them as dried chilli's.
I like Scotch bonnet's the best and most people can tolerate them in my chilli.
Agreed. Fresh chilli peppers are a big improvement.
 
I have to make mine pretty mild, girlfriend cant take spicy. I don't use any jalapenos or chipotle. Just tomatoes, onions, green and red bell peppers, ranch style beans, tomato sauce, garlic, chili powder, cumin, cayenne and french onion soup. Half hamburger, half italian sausage. And a cherry coke for good measure...

Here are the ones I am sending to an EBR friend. He has no idea it is coming. The heat is controlled by the amount of seeds. When Pasilla is dried it has a rich meaty and somewhat smokey/sweet flavor and aromas. It is the foundation. I guess that is what Gordon's cherry Coke does, adds sweetness, these have a lot of sugars. The other is California. It is mild and aromatic. I just chop them up, pulling most of the seeds. They are the fist thing to start browning seconds before the meat and onions. They absorb extra water and the sounding flavors. Then they sort of disintegrate and thicken the chili. The quarter is for size.

Around here I can get headwinds in two directions as I go around a mountain. Sonoma Mountain. It is a good app. The wind moves from cool to warm from the sea to the West and then from the San Francisco bay to the South. It is warmer inland and in the Northern valleys where the air rises. Sucking in more cool fog and wind. We did an August ride on a day when it was 48C inland and we rode in a cold mist at the coastal headlands. We were covered in cold wetness.
I find this a very good weather forecasting tool.

rain and more rain. wife and I have been sick so she has not ridden the tandem. I took it to trek for a long cage derailleur so Could put a 11-42 cassette on it. my shop has no lights or room to work and trying to do it in the rain is just not worth.

Dang! Stop it! Your making me hungry!
Guess I gotta make me a pot now. Even mild, people complain it's to hot. I stopped giving them any and make it the way I want!
Great for guests you want them to leave. They call now and ask if I'm making my chilli and I say.... yep, real hot. They don't come anymore. :)

Cool sign. Maybe not Mark Twain... anyone who has visited San Francisco and gets fogged in... :)
I grew up south of SF and when the fog came in the temps seem to drop 20 degrees and damp. I knew it was time to stick close to somewhere warm.

I am in the North Bay Wine Country. Warm dry sunny days with cool damp nights and mornings.
 
I was sent to HP Instruments 2 week class in Santa Rosa... long time ago. Beautiful area and perfect weather. No fog.
 
Unfortunately no. We were escorted all the way. Superbowl Sunday, 49ers, 1982, Cincinnati . What a game! The whole hotel went crazy.
I did ride Hwy 1 (traffic was not bad back then) down to Bixby bridge with my friends. They had Raleigh 10 spd and I had a single spd. We carried big rocks to help us down hill on the way back. Kinda big headwind. About did us all in and I/we hated the decision to do it. I'm glad I did. Great memory. Funny, when something seems horrible and it turns out to be wonderful. That's what makes those memories last forever. I have a lot of those shouldn't do it but we did stuff.
 
It is going to be a good week ahead here on the OR coast!

Otherwise where live I can see out to the horizon and pretty much tell what is headed my way. Hitting the sucker holes is key.

He is alleged to have said the same thing about Bellingham. This year, our strawberries were abundant and beautiful, but flavorless due to absence of sunny warmth from April through June.
