    I know I will be beaten, crucified and burned! But I got to say this storm is impressive, and just what we needed! All selfishness aside. Just had a nice little hale spanking. :)

    Gonna post this here too, but with a different purpose. Mt. High 4-11-20:
    Mt High 4-11-20.png
    I am EXTREMELY delighted that this much precipitation came in the form of snow and not rain. Rain finds its way instantly down the mountain and to the sea, taking everything with it. Snow should help disperse and distribute that water into aquifers, reservoirs, streams and immediate ground in a much less catastrophic way - unless it slides or melts suddenly.

    Feel free to start wasting water again! I am going to celebrate by washing my car in the rain! Hopefully, municipalities, businesses and private homeowners will once again set their irrigation timers to over-water everything!!!

    I ride my bike for vacation.
    Was planning on a bigger ride. It's pretty saturated here. I'll take out the gravel bike later.

    With or without a mask on? And admit it - you hand sanitized after using your own phone, didn't you?

    Since we won't have any weather to speak of for the next six months except "a little cooler" or "a little warmer", how about an Oscar Wilde quote? It's something like "Talking about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative. Just remember, I didn't say it, he did. I talk about it all the time.

    It was 111 yesterday but only 108 today. It’s still not summer cause the lows are still low 70s. When the high is 110 and the low 88 then it’s summer.

    25-degree drop in the forecast high temperature by Saturday sounds good to me. I see SoCal is looking nice also. Go get it, dirtheads. :geek:


    And this move was a voluntary decision? JK, I lived it for decades. Still love to visit – in winter.
