Big ole chunk of rain getting ready to come down out of the Northwest. Very unusual.

What are you saying man? Rain is our biggest and best export. Next to grunge music and something to do with microbrews and software.Originally Posted by KG4CGC
April and May saw 4 inches short in rain here.
Temps 30.6 C yesterday today a balmy 22 C tomorrow 30 -35C ...
Had fun on the ham fair, bought some nice strips LED lighting, 36 LEDs SMD on alu strip, breakable per 3, just put some thermic glue on some alustrip i had ( cooling) and made 5 x 50 cm lighting strips, one uses 12 - 18 volt 300 mA.
Put one on the shed outside to light the door and ground at the entrance to the backyard, even in the sweltering sun it;s bloody bright white.
Next one will replace the one in the livingroom 2 x 36 LED's for 24/7 lighting the livingroom and kitchen, no need to put on the light if you come down for a glass of water...
Another one for the Hallway, gives enough light as the current one to light up the hallway, and light up the stairs above so again no need to put on the light if you go down in the night for a leak.
Leaves one spare, just reserve if one conks out.

At some point in the last 20 years, the left moved to the center, and the right moved into a mental institution
It came down out of the North !! That's good,
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
After one of the coolest,wettest springs we have seen in quite awhile,it has suddenly turned amazingly warm and sunny! It started on the Victoria day long weekend (corresponds to your Memorial day weekend you have in the Untied States) .......we hit 31 degrees Celsius......the warmest Victoria Day in 138 years,since records have been kept around here.In a non El Nino year........interesting
Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!
Walk and Talk like a Canajun!!
Stopped at the company terminal in Lenoir City TN this morning. Looks like heavy winds and storms come tgrough last night. Trees down all over the road to the terminal. Spent the night south of Chattanooga and had strong t-storms cone through this morning. I missed all the severe stuff.
Usually it comes out of the SW after passing over Atlanta after passing over Bob's place. That place where they restore monkeys or something.
Sometimes it comes from the E or SE if a coastal storm is passing by.
Sometimes an arm from a Noreaster will make it come from the N ... but it is very rare that we get rain from the direction of NW!
Currently typical seasonal weather. Afternoon pop up thunder showers. Humidity. Temps in the 80's.
Meanwhile, tomorrow is supposed to be 95 and sunny so I'm thinking a day on the boat with the wife and sisterwife is in order.
I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
I often have dreams of tornadoes. Some are just mild rotation that never develops into a fully developed cloud to ground tornado while others are well established and intense. In real life we are not particularly bad around here when it comes to tornadoes. I can only remember a couple of < EF1 twisters that touched down briefly a mile or so away and did very little damage except for the usual downed trees, downed wires, etc. The last few seasons have brought surprisingly very little in the way of thunderstorm activity to my immediate area. In fact the absence of thunderstorms round here these past few seasons has been kind of unusual. Seems these days most thunderstorm activity is mostly well to our north. In fact over the past 2 years I've seen more lightning and heard more thunder in the winter than in the spring-summer. Climate change ? Maybe ? maybe not ?

Finally a hot day... 85 sunny.
Spent the morning enjoying time in the pasture with our horse...
... now enjoying air conditioning, pizza, Internet, and of course Amateur Radio....
