It's good there's no snow load down there

You mean like this? View out my living room window.

Damn! Looks like the North East

Seriously.  Record-setting snow for out here, and Enumclaw is one of the hardest-hit.  Still another 3-4" expected.  Tree came down on my brother's house.  Only a couple of big branches in my back yard.

will add another 2x4 to make an L post, place inside a 12"x2' sonotube, plumb, pour and leave be. they don't want to spend too much time and money on this. I could re-do the whole porch from scratch real easily, but then I'd have to deal with codes and permits.

Indeed, but they were equipped for it. King County WA? Not so much.

I'll have what Noel Coward was drinking please, the man must be drunk, off his ass!
Good morning boys, did anybody else see the Lady Gaga concert?  By the way the opening by the ladies from
Hamilton, was way cool.  GWB coin toss was good, nice to see him & Babs out of the hospital. Star spangled banner was good, some country boy, and the flyover by AIR force team.  what was really good, was the cheering of the crowd, when they cut over to our troops watching the game overseas.

Yup, saw it all...ladies from Hamilton changing the words to America the Beautiful, great to see the Bush's...but Babs, really Flip?    Not quite sure why the do a flyover in a covered stadium....but....Good ol' country boy is Luke Bryan...and he actually sang the right words and didn't go all embellishment on the Anthem.  Gaga was entertaining enough, but what I thought was most amazing at halftime was the drones in formation, called the "Intel Shooting Star Drone system".
The game was pretty good too!

Doesn't look like they bothered with that originally...

We have the technology, we can make it better.  Maybe some lag bolts instead of a nail.
