Davis Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Everything is ok, there is some tree and minor structure damage very near me. I was on the front deck watching the sky during this event. It was very volatile and you could just tell this was going to get ugly. If your place is in a potential path of tornados get a weather radio, I can not stress that enough. I can not hear a tornado siren at my house but my phone and the TV (while we had power) gave us the early warnings that saved lives. @Ceptorman thank you for thinking of me. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly smooth with no bite whatsoever. Really good, thanks for the recommendation. I always drink mine black. My wife on the other hand has to have flavored creamer in hers. I cringe every time I see it especially with coffee like this. It's like mixing coke with Pappy Van Winkle. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like mixing coke with Pappy Van Winkle. Same thing happens here, at most I'd put a tsp of sugar in a qt of coffee ( I do make chocolate coffee when it's cold sometimes). She'll put that International Harvester syrupy stuff from a test tube in the cup and pour coffee on top even when it was these very good $$ honey process beans that I took the effort to grind more coarse make it manually in the Eva Solo. Yep an oz of four roses single over a cube is my poison of choice, since I don't get drunk anymore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is only one being that can do that. If you've been near one (or three) in your life like me and your alive it can change your perspective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 glad to hear everyone is OK. the weather is normalizing... for a moment. We're still struggling to reach normal temps. 88 forecast for Tucson today. Thurs/Fri 95`+. 100 coming soon.

WillyBob Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 oh.... we're a couple weeks late to break 100`. Jerky/mummy season, it is now. For a month [only, I hope] June... ugh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Wow, and you're in AZ @WillyBob! We broke 100 a week ago and three times since, including today an hour or two ago. But I'm in the ac today, yard trash cans are full no more outside work until tomorrow after they get emptied. More rain than ever the last year but the clay is cracking already. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can ya smell wood burning? ...gotta be over 15years. Came back from HI in '98. Prolly closer to 20, I have been out here. I lived at the other end of the road on and off for a ... well, my folks moved us to Amado from Elkhart IN [you have heard of that place] in 1970. Subtract 8 years in HI... the rest of the time, I've been out here... in the area. Y'all seen the movie Alice Doesn't Live Here Any More? The cow skull restaurant front in one scene... That is in Amado. I helped build it. I have scars to show... That was in '74. Made a comment about siesta and how only a white man would try to work thru the heat of the day to an online friend... That prompted the question... "Bill, are you Mexican? " ..."almost" @richieb been here so long, I'm a fixture. They don't know any different. Always been here, as far as a lot know. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 still have the same phone # issued in 1970... 4 party lines we had ring "codes" ... when our phone rang, someone else's did too. Calling 10 miles was long distance. Small exchange... maybe 3000 on it at the time.... that was as far as we could go w/o long distance charges 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 29, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2019 Just was wondering, I was playing around with Google earth this morning looking around and looked at Arivaca since I have never been that far south in the desert. I couldn't handle it, doing landscaping and loving plants for a long time now it is way to desert looking for me. Rocks and dirt with some trees and shrubs, the only thing that can take the climate I guess. It just looks hot. What is it that they farm outside of town a little to the southwest, looks like a couple of fields. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 joke about a guy from here going to the midwest from here and asking how they watered all the grass. lol I had a garden at the other house. There was dirt.... Nice garden. Corn, beans, 8 or 10 varieties of tomatoes and melons. I was giving grocery bags full of beans away. Yeah, I could have put them up... they're so much better fresh. I dried tomatoes. Seemed like the right thing, given the climate. Too cold for citrus, here. We can do apples. It's different here from Amado, even. A lot colder here. Not day temps... we are in a cold air drainage and 500 feet higher in elevation. It is fresh in the AM all year. Below 70. that is cold... it was 40 - 50 this AM. Mid 80's now. You can grow a lot of things here... just add water. I have bulb flowers.. Dafs, iris -Dutch and, canna lilies, pomegranates, jujubes [Chinese date] trees, Persian lilacs in addition to the rock and... If I get a hankering for wet... there is the Buenas Aires Nat Wildlife Preserve/Arivaca Cieniga.. Cieniga is code for swamp/bog. They have boardwalks thru/around it. And some rather grand cottonwood trees. Yes... real trees. Trunk dia [at chest height] of 6 to 8 feet. Do NOT come down here in June. It is a bad month. 100`+ in Tucson, 95` here ...oppressively sunny, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
