Waaay more rain.

Other than that some really bad news. The shop Foreman at the truck company I work for was killed this morning working on a rig on I-205 when it was struck by a Fred Meyer lease rig. He didn't have to go on a road call since he can send somebody else but took it himself this time. Sad part of that story is we think the call resulted because the fuel tanks did not level out and the one it was drawing from went dry. If the driver knew about that (I didn't used to, happened to me once) he could have just popped the fuel caps, waited a couple minutes for some of the fuel to run over into the other tank and fire it up.

The Old Man is really devastated from what my brother tells me. Been in business over 50 years and never lost an employee like this. They have been involved in about 10 or so accidents over the years with fatalities but never a company employee or the fault of the company. I don't think they have even had a really serious injury in all that time.

Brad was a pretty good guy and I almost always saw him when I went into work. I stopped by about a month ago and he was one I chatted with. Not working for them right now since it is very slow in the wood residual industry.
