Still no power. Generator is running better. Stopped it, let it cool off, then added a bit of oil, cleaned the air filter, filled it up with gas, and it fired up first pull as always. Had this generator awhile, and it's always been a good one. But now I'm sure a fan of Champion generators.  Sure will be nice to have electricity again, though...

Radar says Oldman03's area getting hit with thunderstorms right now.
Looks like we dodged the bullet. Only a 20% chance of rain tomorrow and then becoming sunny.
Ed We got 1" in 24 hrs. No hard rain, just drizzling most of the day and night. Wind blew a little yesterday, nothing bad. Looks like it went south and east of us.

Joel Osteen is off my support list. Have not watched or donated for awhile for other reasons but now for a good one.
Way to go Joel! I don't know details concerning JO in this instance, except, have serious doubts re his ministry at best. But don't judge judge all C's by JO and his wife. I won't judge JO's heart or that of his wife but a lot of flags go up when "a preacher of the gospel" becomes exceedingly enriched. My impression is from many sources though not listening to a word from the man himself, that he preaches a "prosperity gospel" which is not the one from the Bible.

30 dead now and rising. Some from hypothermia. I was thankful for the lower temps for a couple days after the hurricane. 70's is way better than 90's in this humidity. Starting yesterday, I couldn't describe conditions here as hypothermic.

Governor Abbott just declared via Proclamation this Sunday an annual day of Prayer in Texas. Pray as one through one God.

It's colder than one might think, too. You gotta remember, it was all ice a few days ago.

My cousin lives just above the Addick Resevoir in Northwest Houston. His neighborhood was flooded, his house in still out. Several homeowners stayed and are doing OK. First night, a flat boat with 5 "Democrats" were spotted, but after they saw this were NOT going to be easy neighborhood to loot, they moved on. A dump truck with more Dems came by later, same response, same reaction. Armed homeowners standing their ground can be a formidable sight to looters. I just got word, water has fallen 3" in the last few hours, which is a good sign. Some roads around the area are open, neighborhood streets are still flooded. He never lost power; his utilities are underground. I texted earlier if they had enough ammo. His response, "We have all kinds of camping supplies". I got the message...  He did ask about shot size for various applications. I suggested bird shot inside, buck shot outside. He has #1 and 00 buck for his 870, various 9s and an AR. DF

Pence was here in Victoria this afternoon.
Didn't know he was coming, but probably wouldn't have given up what I'm doing and driven the 55 mile round trip anyway.
Glad he was here, and focused on folks, though.

Yup! He (Pence) got some huge optics too and still going. He even cleaned up someone's yard a bit, which will likely piss off his boss.
Oh well!

Hey Ralph, gas stations out there have gas? DFW has drained the tanks. We will be out in 1 more hour. Elon refinery in Big Springs broke. Can you believe that? Coast refinerys are down so ours goes down. Supposedly on line soon. They are awaiting a part. Now, if you had a refinery that could go down from one broken part.....

Tornado's are popping up around us now from Harvey. Don't you live next to a river? Did you get a bunch of rain?

Trump is donating a million of his personal cash, to help flood victims.
(Don't know why that link didn't work. Phone access here is very jumpy as well)

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
