Windy yesterday. Winds constant at near 20mph all day long. Then, of course, the rain. It is still raining this morning and predicted to rain all day. Temps in the 50's so far.
In a day or two it will most likely become sunny with highs near 80 again.
Plants here don't know what to do, bloom, die, grow, get blown away, drown, or what. Not great for humans either.Comment

Mowed today for the 4th time this season. A little overkill but winter and spring weeds are blooming (in the lawn) and I'm trying to not let them go to seed.Comment

Daytime highs getting up to about 36F. The little snow we got in March is gone already. There were quite a few rabbits out back last night.
We did the store bought turkey thing for Easter (again), and there's ton's left. A 12 lb bird sure goes a long ways. I'm gonna have one or two more samwidges out of it, and then the rest is going to soup.
Any time for the bike now- likely this week. Gotta get taxes done before the end of the month...

We just got an alert from the National Weather advisory of a storm front approaching us with expected winds up to 80mph. Rainfall predicted 4"-5" between now and early tomorrow morning.
Another day in paradise.Last edited by Allen; 05-13-2024, 07:30.Comment

I don't live in TX or FL but it is hot here.
I'm on my 12th or 13th grass cutting so far (starting to lose count). I could cut less but need to during breaks in the rain otherwise.....

We are about 520 miles north of home and it's only 41f here.
It's been a bit on the cool side for the last 3 weeks here and at home. About normal rainfall amounts this spring, which has been long overdue.
Got to drive a newish jeep grand Cherokee Laredo a bit up here. Very nice little s.u.v.

We had a nice spring here but it is gone now. Temps are running into the 90's with the heat index making it feel about 10 degrees + hotter. Hurricane season starts June 1st.Comment

I have found that if you open the Forum in Firefox it works. It does not work on Google Chrome however
There's what the forum looks like on the main page for most of us on Win 10 after the latest round of up-dates from M/S.
The rest of it is much similar.
Forum is normal on my Android based phone, which is a real pain to post with due to the smaller screen and key-pad.

Don't put off tomorrow what you can put off indefinitely.
I thought about cutting grass yesterday but put it off till today since I planned on doing other yard work as well. This was stupidly based upon the next 7 days of a 10 day forecast predicting sunshine with zero % chance of rain.
As ALWAYS it rained all night---yard is like a swamp today.Comment

Good day to stay inside with big glass of tea...112? in Phoenix. I put my patio thermometer in the sun for grins and giggles and the needle is buried 2" past 120?.Last edited by PWC; 06-06-2024, 12:53.Comment

From about 10 days ago on our way back from Thompson.
Little Limestone Lake showing weather that has been pretty much the norm for the last 3 weeks or so.
Location signage. Apparently there aren't too many actual blue water freshwater lakes like this. Interesting place, anyways. Both taken with the 50mm f1.8 AF-D on the D-810 in program mode.

Hey Doc . . . .What do you suppose a “marl lake” is?Comment
-
It's got something to do with the type of limestone that covers the lake bottom. There's some sort of reaction formed by the released chemicals from the stone into the water that form crystals that refract blue light. I did look it up.
There are whitefish and walleye and pike in there. It is a fairly large lake, about 12 miles long and 4 miles wide at it's widest. It would be interesting to fish it.
