Must have been a very bad storm. You have a very nice living space

Yeah, it was bad, and thank you.. so the storm we had created what they call a Downburst it took down about 20 trees in my yard ( I mow about 6 acres) and more in my woods. And since then we've had real feel temps around 105f and humid as hell. But we're surviving, doing a little cleanup here and there with some help from family and friends, and .... heavy machinery. We're on a no outlet road, it got me, and the next 3 drives down, my dad who is the driveway before me had no damage. Crazy stuff.

You should be set for quite a while for barbecue fuel!

A little warm today in north central AZ

 

[day_trippr]

I woke up to a couple of white tails ambling through the property browsing on Day Lily buds and Hostas. The Spousal Unit was not pleased but we've lived on the deer run for 37 years now and she knows if she doesn't keep up with the anti-deer treatment they'll win

So, having no effs to give, I headed north up to our NH house to do some work on it, and took this shot of Profile Lake in Franconia Notch on the way...

Cheers!

Hope your chickens are all ok. Our chicken run was flooded but no damage. Just needed a major cleaning. All the food and bedding were soaked. My wife was out in that heavy rain trying to keep the water from backing up into their run. The run is at the lowest part of our yard and water always backs up there when we get heavy rain. This is the worst we have had since we got the chickens. Not much she won't do for her girls.

Not having a run has allowed a fox to get a couple hens unfortunately but we still have 22 I think... that rain we just got yesterday gave me a whole new set of problems, one of my windows leaked and we had a waterfall in the living room, soaked all the furniture, luckily the floor is slate so that was easy to clean up. We got 4 inches in 2 hours yesterday afternoon...

That's "build an ark" kinda rain.

Hope it doesn't turn around and come back for a second visit. 4 inches is a lot of surface water to disperse.

Are those telescope tripods in the last pic?

Right now we're showing no rain for 4 days, thank goodness, when my dad who's next door told me how much was in my rain gauge I was surprised, crazy stuff.. and yes the smaller one is a 5inch newtonian on a manual german equatorial mount and the larger is a 9.25 Schmidt cassegrain celestron computerized alt/az hoping to get them out tonight, clear skies haven't been a thing for a while.

I have no idea how much we got yesterday but it was probably 2 inches. Not storm related but we were vacationing in Maine a few weeks ago and got to see the strawberry moon over the lake. Not a great shot but the cell phone is all we had.

Boats moored at Avila Beach.

Elephant Seals (most of which are juveniles), resting on the beach in San Simeon. Later in the summer and fall the beach will be populated with adult Elephant Seals. The male adults can weigh up to 5,000 lbs. For whatever reason these seals always return to this particular beach.

At the beach, I found a crab egg.

I also found some fish that washed ashore.

Every brewery wants to claim penguins!

Black & Tan wants to manufacture that belief!
Here's how it works from a Penguin book!

Are you gonna disagree with a Penguin about what penguins want?

As a matter of fact we did. And some excellent Alsace white wines.
