Today I saw a guy walking down the street carrying a pet lizard. It had a harness and leash. I think it was one of those bearded dragon type lizards, but it was sort of more whitish colored than those I've seen. Anyway, it's not really lizard weather.

 

[JorisL]

It's not wizard weather either.
Almost fell of my broom, turns out I forgot to defrost it >.<

Are people on PF young ? I like old people not young people.

We're all 15. I'm sorry.

San Diego County is supposed to get snow tomorrow night. There's some super cold front moving down here from up there. If it snows in the city of San Diego, that'll be a first for me. And probably a city-wide mess.

Excellent! I threatened my sister, who lives in San Marcos, that I was going to come down a spend a month with her over the Christmas holidays. She told me not to bother, as she would be, and is currently, on vacation in Tampa.

ps. I always blame Canada, for this kind of weather.

Don't you dare come to San Marcos (TX ?) and not let me know. :D

San Marcos is a northern suburb of San Diego. I have no intention of visiting Texas. Their weather, appears to also suck at the moment.

ps. I just took a temperature reading from a dark portion of my house, about an hour ago. It's almost 90°F in Portland! :D
At least, it was, there.
The icicles hanging from my gutter, tell another story.

Yes. People don't know how to drive in the rain here in San Diego. I don't even want to know how bad they'll drive in snow. I'm sure it would be quite messy.

@ Om, San Marcos is a northern suburb of San Diego. I have no intention of visiting Texas

A disappointment for sure:( I know we have much in common, I find many people with knowledge, but no real interest in electric power. :)

BTW Would that be AC or DC? I need a DC motor to convert an old quad atv to electric. I have a bad knee so when I take my dogs out for a walk I drive that blasted old riding mower that I tried to sell in the faux auction. One of my neighbors told me that he thinks the tractor is too loud early in the morning. I told him I was thinking about buying an old garbage truck.

Isn't that a good looking Chinese machine?

I was taking a nap, just now came around, I have everything you need (I think) just give me the word and it can be on the way :D

Well, the rain has arrived as predicted. We'll see if it turns to snow. Doubtful, since the low is only supposed to be 44F.

San Marcos is a northern suburb of San Diego.

Not really. It's more like a suburb of Escondido, which is a city an hour North of San Diego (which is like 60 miles).

It seems to me In California the method to be used to determine whether a City is another town entirely or a suburb, is traffic flow. If it is less than two hours away during rush hour it may be either one. It can still be confusing, another city during the morning rush hour may be a reasonably close in suburb at noon. :D

My sister moved down there around 1975. She started out in Mira Mesa, then moved to Poway, then Escondido, and ended up in San Marcos.

My brain is somewhat full, so I only devote enough cells to remember 4 cities: Sacramento, San Francisco, LA, and San Diego. Everything else, is a suburb.

And I don't really know where Sacramento is, but I think it's the capital, and is somewhere between San Francisco and Oregon.

Wow you must have as much electrical "stuff" as I have just plain "stuff."

I see the voltage wars have begun on cordless outdoor power tools. We skipped right on up from 12v, 18v, 24v, 36v, 40v, and ta da we now have 56 volts.

http://egopowerplus.com/products/56v-lithium-ion-4-0-amp-hour-battery

I looked at a 40v cordless chain saw at Lowes. I couldn't even find the motor. It was integrated into the plastic housing.

Too bad those batteries cost so much. I could just see myself setting a new land speed record on that junky ATV with a 48v golf cart motor and about six of the 56 volt lithium batteries wired in parallel. Ok Ok I would be happy with 10mph. :D

2-year-old accidentally kills his mom in Wal-Mart
http://news.yahoo.com/police-boy-2-accidentally-kills-mom-wal-mart-201635957.html

HAYDEN, Idaho (AP) — A 2-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed his mother after he reached into her purse at a northern Idaho Wal-Mart and her concealed gun fired, authorities said Tuesday.

"She was not the least bit irresponsible," Terry Rutledge, the victim's father-in-law said. Well, except for the fact that the woman left an unsecure pistol in her purse, where the two year old could retrieve it. Apparently the safety was not on.

Her right to keep a loaded weapon within the reach of a child was not infringed. That is so sad.

I can't even imagine how this will effect the child.
