Sorry Admiral. I have heard of that happening in the past. I never dreamed that some people still try to get away with that. Hope you find a service you can trust, or even observe.

Sorry to hear that Admiral.
That's outrageous.

I know it. They where caught doing it and I for one am glad some kind of punishment is coming.

This may sound strange but it is what my stepmom wanted. The urn that was selected to temporarily house her daughter’s ashes. Which were spread at her stepfather’s and infant daughters graves. She wants to have her remains put in it until she is spread across the landscape. She and her daughter both liked the design of the urn. That’s not a problem with me or my dad.

Good morning :)

Winning on a Tuesday morning down under where we got off to a 13C start with 28C expected.

I just hope that I can enjoy a restful day today after the last 3.

Anyhow after finally getting a good night's sleep in it's time for a coffee.

Cheers.

It's a cool day here in the mountains. Just had a little rain but most of the rain is falling as snow a little higher than where I am. Currently 41f which is today's high. Looks like the temperatures are not changing much for the next several days. High of 41 with a low of 39 for at least the next 3 days.

Glad I don't need to drive to Sac. Winter storm warning on my normal route: "Heavy snow. Snow accumulations of 1 to 2 feet above 7000 feet, 1 to 4 inches at lake level, and 4 to 12 inches west of Lake Tahoe. Ridge winds gusting as high as 90 mph. Southwest winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 35 mph."

And 10hours+ ahead over here:

Good evening! ;-)

Yep, the world is round, rotates, and yes the Earth moves!! (Just ask Galileo and Foucault...)


What has really moved has been the warm wet Atlantic air pushing out the dry frigid cold Arctic air... The temperature jumped from freezing and frost to a surprisingly warm feeling +14 deg C!!! All in just a few hours!!!!

... We did also get a rapid hefty dose of snow then rain to cause a little fun.

Meanwhile, I'm rather weary, but enjoying that we now have the freedom of x2 Amps previously available. Scarily, we seem to be still on exactly the same supply lines...

So... National Grid trundled up, all two of 'em in their super chunky AWD truck, and come the end of the day, we had a new x2 chunky circuit breaker on a new panel. Very good job done.

... Mentioning the snow and frozen mud and the two 'em just laughed. They said they're well used to it...

All good stuff.

Now measuring up for adding some big cables to our new capability!

Well Dog has been looked after and let off, my washing from yesterday is off the line and 2 trips across to the supermarket have been done (the 2nd trip was to get more foam tubs for wicking tubs) and all I have left to do outside is to hang out a load of shirts and shorts before I can relax in my cool 19C (feels like 16C) wind tunnel as outside it's already 24C (feels like 25C).

Anyhow I'll get a 2nd coffee in before I go and hang those clothes on the line (they won't take long to dry today).

Cheers.

My elbow still hurts, on Tuesday I'm going to get some dog food for a friend.

Today I made someones day, and I've been invited over for Thanksgiving too.

A normal november day with more rain.
Yesterday my car got the winter tyres on.
I`m a little late this year for some reason.

With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

We reached a summerish 28C (felt like 27C) here today and as the last of the daylight vanishes we're down to 21C (feels like 20C) on our way to an expected 12C before another similar day is to be had.

Anyhow I suppose that I should start thinking about dinner.

Cheers.

Some antipodian meteorological synchronisation?...

We're basking under sunny brightness under a meteorological high pressure.

... All around is still rather soggy wet...

Some antipodian meteorological synchronisation?...

I'd call it 'distorted' because the low pressure belongs to the British Isles, as is written in each meteorologist's textbook, while the high pressure belongs over the continent to attract the cold, clean air from Russia and to block this nasty Atlantic wetness from reaching us.

Hump Day got off to a 12C (felt like 11C) start here in the tablelands while 28C is expected again as I continue to suck as much of the cool outside air inside before I close the heat out.

Anyhow it's time for a coffee.

Cheers.

Found this on YouTube Victor. Just wish you had the electric service needed to use it. I think Carlos might plus a few others. It looks like a game changer to getting power to a EV vehicle.
The ConnectDER meter socket adapter will change the very way we install home EV charging equipment.

Well that's enough of the Hump Day domestic duties for me this morning so it's time to get that 2nd coffee in as I wait to close my unit up to keep the heat out. ATM it's 18C (feels like 14C) inside while we're now up to 15C outside so it won't be much longer before shutdown occurs and then I'll just put my leaky leg up while doing more catch up streaming.

[edit] The cool is now locked in while the heat is locked out.

Cheers.

Yep... The jet stream is badly distorted...

That then distorts all the weather systems worldwide...

Any connection to the Russians melting the Arctic ice with their flagrant unhealthy burning of oil and gas and nuclear reactors to get at yet more oil and gas...?


All on our only one planet...

I saw that a couple days ago, I have enough empty spots on my 100 amp breaker panel, 200 amps would be nice to have again, I used to own an all electric house, bills in the 90's were about $99 a month, at least after investing some money.

Not all electric utilities have approved of that, plus until ones local utility does approve it, you can't use or install it.

The service here is going to change in a month or so after digging starts, currently I could go to 30 amps max, 20 amps for the moment is ok, I want to go to 60 amps max as that is what a 2020-2023 Chevy Bolt EV supports or 11.0kW-11.5kW.

1 week down and 1 to go of this enforced boredom (well hopefully), but at least the leg hasn't been as leaky today and the next week is suppose to be wet anyway (gee I'm going to have a yard that will need days of taming again).

Anyhow we got to 27C (felt like 25C) today with another warm day tomorrow before the rain hits and now it's time to get ready for it.

Cheers.
