Stormy day today. Had hail and heavy rain at 4:30 this morning. Quite a racket. More expected from mid-morning on. It's a cold front and the temp is almost 30 degrees cooler than it was Friday morning. 49 right now, 76 then. We've decided to go out for brunch today - probably just as the next wave of storms hits. We have sitdown dining again, and we intend to enjoy it.

Good Sunday to you, all the morning crew Rock. We had rain in this part of Iowa two nights ago, windy enough to blow a few trees over.
Real church today, masks required. No singing, no AC. It will be intestering.

we had a storm come through at my camp the other day. must have been one of those micro bursts or whatever. it knocked down giant white and red oaks. it was weird how it did it. almost a straight line about 100 feet wide. no reports of tornadoes but it almost seemed like it. one of the red oaks was massive. 4-5 ft through at the base. if we can get a chainsaw big enough to cut it, i'm going to figure out how old it is. damn shame. it was a beautiful tree.

Dry as a bone here again.
Up early getting the orchard water going and making sure that it is going where it's supposed to go.
Pancakes are next on the agenda.
Then whatever happens happens.

It rained for ~ a week straight here. Getting ready to rain again.
When I moved to south FL 30 years ago from the west coast of FL, people told me "It's different here".
I laughed and said, "Yeah, right. It's all Florida". I was wrong. It's the tropics here.

Well yesterday fooled with weatherman as it did not rain and warmed up to a calm 65 or so. Pretty nice. My son and I hit the pawn shops and I netted two pair of mint vintage S&W stocks for $50. Probably worth 10X that. We met with my wife and his and had a great lunch at a brew pub. As such the ATV oil changes will get done this AM after coffee and breakfast. Supposed to have a 60% chance of rain this evening and a bit cooler. The kids are heading back to Texas tomorrow.

Springtime in the Rockies, 46F now with thunder rollin' constantly and rain pouring. Then potential frost tonight and tomorrow night.
I made a big pot of chicken pasta soup, the sweet roll dough is rising and there'll be a lemon meringue pie for desert.
What would Porter Rockwell do?

Rain all night here. Pool has gained about 4” overnight and it’s still raining. Another 2” and the pool will overflow. Hilliard Florida.

It's tropical here. Wind, no wind, driving rain, gentle rain, sunshine, clouds and lots of humidity. Repeat about every 2 minutes.
