That's right...I shall test it out if it's not too cold. They definitely work for light to moderate rain, but not tested to be storm proof

 

I took these in the morning. Should be much higher now. Good thing I was wearing my Goretex Timberlands...

 

Dumbass ricer kid in a 350Z killed some poor lady - all because he thought he had some mad driving skillz at Devil's Slide up on Hwy. 1

He crossed the double yellow because he was being a douche, trying to write ego checks his skillz simply couldn't cash.

 

i like how its 6pm and the sun is just coming out....

only to set shortly

 

2.5hrs to SF this morning. Up to mt allison in fremont yesterday afternoon, Up Sutro tower twice last night, 3 systems down in SF today, and one on mt san bruno. Oh joy.

here is a couple of pix. If you look at the 2nd one you can see me parked on a ledge abour 3/4 of the way up the pic.




last one, a night shot from sutro, from a crappy cellie.

 

Drove the Stanza through a freakin' lake of a puddle behind Fitness 2000 in Newark earlier. Probably had to be 1.5' in the middle or close to that.

 

not a good day to be in a lowered car. I drove through a dark parking lot and did'nt think the water was that deep, next thing you know my car dies! exhaust taking in water, had to jump out in about a foot and a half of water and push my subie out.

My car started but my turbo wouldn't boost for a while and my check engine light is on. I really want to get a tacoma now...

 

^ ouchy!


My first choice of a new car was going to be a 98 Tacoma ...then got my subie instead

 

Damn Aaron, I didn't know that's the kind of work you're doing now... That's pretty damn cool actually! I bet the view from Sutro was amazing in person!

 

It was a good storm for sure! 3 trees came tumbling down at my parents house in Brentwood. One wiped out their fence, but at least nothing else really got taken out. It made for some good sleeping for me today lol

 

Yeah man, I was at home during the day too and took one hell of a nap! Falling asleep to the sound of a torrential downpour is second to none the best thing ever to fall asleep to (minus a hot chick spoon)

 

it is a great view for sure.

Too bad every time i get to go up there it because **** is broken.

 

yep!!! totally agree with you!

 

so reporting back, apparently northbay got hit bad today, the news said worst area hit. imma little further north but we finally got some decent rain about an hour after my last post.

we didnt get to much wind but whats nice about cotati is there is no power poles to get jacked with. all the utlities are ran underground, not a telephone pole in the city i do believe

the only scary thing was yesterday the cotati creek was bone dry. you could walk right down the middle of it. and today it was almost as high as the walking path, must have been 4-5 feet deep. i dont think i ever saw it that high before, not that fast anyway. i think the ground was so dry it wasnt able to absorb much of the water just yet. it receded a bit so i dont think i have to walk out my back door into a lake tomorrow.

if it rained like this one more day though, that could be a different story.

 

hurray for rain!
