Good Morning!!!! 63F @ 6:00AM. Sunny to partly cloudy. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 88F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.
We've been talking about rain avoiding one spot or another, and yesterday it happened again here. While I was in town I got weather warnings for flash floods and violent thunderstorms, and as I came out of Costco, the northern and eastern skies were very black and I could hear thunder. I only had one more stop to make, and I had visions of driving through driving rain and dashing into the house with just the groceries, leaving the rest in the truck until it passed over. But there was barely a drop on the windshield the whole way home, I got everything unloaded and stayed dry. So I took a look at the storm tracks on the radar map, and only one small arm of the cell passed over the house, and my path home had dodged right between two converging storms. I may never win the lottery, but I was a weather winner yesterday. I did get a motion alert from the tracker in the van at about the same time that cell passed over the house, so there must have been some strong gusts. Tried to review the weather data for that time, and it was missing between 1PM and about 6PM. Weather ghosts?:confused2:
Sorry about the bad news, Thomas. Hope you can find someone that wants a pellet stove at a fair price.:confused2: The Kindling Kracker got me through this past winter's kindling needs in only a couple of hours.
There are bears in the area here too, Jay, but they haven't found their way to my back porch yet. I hope you can find a way to discourage them to move on to someone else's garbage and bird food cans.
That's a LOT of block, Ted. Hope the knee's behaving itself.
Learned last night that the Garmin mapping software runs so slowly under the latest version of MacOS that it's not usable. Of course there's no update from Garmin, the company I love to hate. So I poked in a route for today's trip into the GPS, the tiny screen on which made for a very difficult time. I'll get there, but maybe not exactly along the path I'd have liked.
Time to get packed and out of here; don't wanna get caught out in this afternoon's thunderstorms.
Hope everyone enjoys the weekend; see ya Monday!
