    Wow this weather is just crazy today!

     



    I got up this morning with the intent of getting everything done early that I could, sit out the mid say due to the heat and then pick up where I left off in the morning. For the last couple of days we have been flirting with 100 degrees in the shade and to be honest its just hot enough where doing physical things is no fun. At 1:00pm I thought I smelled rain? I opened the front of the shop to bright blue sky but it was sprinkling? Odd I thought so I went out side to see a giant wall of black sky behind the shop. Within 5 minutes time it dumped a massive amount of water on the neighborhood. A few cracks of thunder and some strong gusts of wind and now 1:44 the temperature is a whopping 77 degrees. I know it not anything unique to a lot of you but it sure is for San Diego... I cant express how wonderful a little bit of moisture can be! down side is now I have to go back to work! What is your weather like today?

    I went through boot camp at MCRD, San Diego starting in September of 1961 and then spent most of 1962 at MCRD attending ground radar repair school and on occasion the weather can get pretty weird, torrential rain and fog so thick you can't see your hand in front of your face.

    We need the precip also but have only been blessed with slightly cooler temps and NO humidity - - - - that in itself is like being in another country. But I'm sure we'll have some more steamers before the Holidays get here.

    I didn't even know that there is a hurricane climbing up the Baja peninsula and this is one of the advanced thunder bumpers from that. Guess we could have some semi serious weather headed our way. Oh Great!

    Two weeks ago we had 94* on a Thursday and 58* on a Friday and then 78* on Saturday. It's been cool since. I'll take it, but it doesn't sound like the winter will be any fun..................

    Shortly after my last post the power went dead and all hell broke loose... I never experienced a Micro burst before but very impressive. It lasted for about 30 minutes with ultra high winds and hard, hard rain. It snapped off trees and up rooted a lot of them falling across power lines. I closed up shop and came home. I will try again tomorrow.

    Hey the B-III's have the ultimate co pilot with us all the time and if for some reason the worst happens, I'm good to go. But thanks for the concern and thought.

    It was 94 degrees here today about 15 degrees above normal and 2 degrees hotter than Phoenix. Something that doesn't happen very often.

    Supposed to get some of the rain from M.T.'s area later this week.

    We've been getting rain from the same storm since Monday night and the worst is supposed to hit today and tomorrow. I'm not expecting any problems other than having to cut the grass again after it drys out......and it had been turning such a lovely shade of brown

    I did check the gas supply for the generator just in case though.

    It's kind of nuts everywhere, it looks to me like. Hot here in Sin City, too, but then it's supposed to be hot here yet; fall will fall soon enough, the it will get cold.
