Winning now that my front yard has finally been tamed while the temp is at 21C (feels like 19C).

I also got a few more of those backyard edges done and it needs to be mowed again already, but doing that may have to wait until next weekend as more wet weather is expected.

Anyhow I'm off to the pub for a few relaxing beers now.

Cheers.

We reached 24C (felt like 22C) today and now that the last of my visitors have left I going to bed.

Cheers.

Melting away the pounds. Wish I could do it as fast as this.
I’m melting! I’m melting!

Well I was tossing up this morning on whether to risk the sky and quickly run the mower over the backyard again, but thankfully a couple of interruptions turned up instead so that was the end of my day and the rain fell.

Anyhow now that my interruption has left and the showers keep on rolling over here I'm off to bed.

Cheers.

Scientists discover the maximum age a human being can attain.

When did bean counters gain recognition as Scientists?
The finding is:
Women 115.7 years
Men 114.1 years

However, the oldest verified person is Jeanne Calment, a French woman who lived 122 years and 164 days.
I call that somewhat misleading.

Posting on a Tuesday morning while waiting for the jug to boil and the sun to rise, in that order, after a damp night and with more of that wetness expected.

Cheers.

That's been counters for you - never accurate, and always misleading....

I'm back in the Food Desert with added chill and snow.

Hey ho... Hi ho?


... And for something a little different, we've had to clear some space for National Grid to come onsite to change/update a circuit breaker... All good and we'll only be off the mains for a few minutes, but...

The backup power failed years ago and we've never quite got round to a replacement... Hence we have to do a shutdown.

The shutdown bit is easy. It's starting up again that might become the stuff of nightmares...

Well I can finally sit down and enjoy a few beers after cleaning up after the last 2 days, getting my usual Hump Day domestics done (seeing as I'll be getting another piece of my largest organ taken out), mixing up 12L of assorted half strength cordials plus making up 4L of dark rum, 2.3L of Southern sipping whisky and 1.25L of Black Sambuca (so I'm fully stocked again).

Meanwhile we got underway here at 16C under a threatening sky and it's still 16C (though now feels like 13C due to the wind's arrival) with 17C expected, but constant lite showers have been a regular occurrence.

Anyhow I'll get back to my beers.

Cheers.

NO No no. Those are not bean counters, those are actuaries.

The rain is falling again here as I decide on what to watch tonight.

Cheers.

An atmospheric river is forming and Newsweek predicts that as much as 21 inches will fall in the mountains of Northern California in the next 3 days. NOAA has a much dryer forecast but still heavy rain starting tonight. I'm in Reno and the forecast is for warmer weather and rain. Currently 19f, tomorrow's low is 41f. That's a 2-degree drop from today's high of 43f. My delta home will see 3 maybe 4 days of rain. It looks like the mountains will be too warm for snow. So this is likely going to cause some flooding.

Normal november rain here, bu the grey is going on my nerves.

I just hope that the rain just to the north stays there while I'm in town.

Cheers.

The upper left coast is forecast to get a bomb cyclone this afternoon. The snow level is to drop too 500 feet. 2 feet is to drop in the ountains.

By 'eck it's gone arctic out there. So much so not even myself is daft enough to walk miles merely for a beer...

And we're on countdown to the Friday power shutdown...

And SpaceX continue their countdown to launching OFT6 and the biggest rocket live in the world... And to catch it again!!

I'm happy to be finally home so that I can put my heavily bandaged leg up after Mt. Everest was removed from it.

After a 12C (felt like 9C) start here we could only manage 16C (felt like 13C) missing the 18C that was expected, but at least I didn't get rained on.

Cheers.

No new snow but by 'eck it all feels very chilly!

A steamin' hot pint brew of coffee is called for, for a pause for thought and warmth!...

I'm now regretting having a quick dog nap when I got home as when I got up as those locals started wearing off about then, I should've went the whole hog instead, as I soon got up to feeling all those overlapping stitches started to ache from their pulling.

It's also the 1st time that I've been given antibiotics for having a chunk of skin taken out of me, but they said that there could be problems with shin jobs (2 huge horse caps twice a day :-O).

Anyhow after a few good sized sipping liqueurs while doing a few hours of binging dulling the annoyance I'm going to reset my alarm clock (from a time that I'm usually up well before) to around "Check the rain gauge time" to try and get my body clock back to where it should be.

Cheers.
