grasshopper Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Good Morning Nothing exciting. Weather is seasonably warm. The AirForce was playing with the big toys last night.The C-120s/!30s and entourage were coming back from the bombing range well after dark. We live in one the AF's operational areas. Some folks complain about the sonic booms. Just a fact of life when you live near a SAC base. Anyway... I rather enjoy seeing the show. Plans for the day ... go to the dump. If the Olds will start. I don't drive it enough to keep the battery up. It's a beater ... but, I still like it. It's a very comfortable car. Reliable and gets 30MPG. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 We hava a temperature drop from 98F down to 60F within less than 8 hours, an incredibly strong wind and massive rainfall last night , a real thunderstorm. It´s 7 30. am here and its quiet outside. Got my first mug. Wind and rain are gone. My son has summer vacations now , till end of august. Hope that he will not waste the whole time sitting 18 hours a day in front of his high end pc station with two 25" curved screens. If so ..I can´t change it . His school certificate was quiet good , he´s a good son , the only thing I want is that he shell get more in touch with the real world instead of the virtual world. As I´m off still..let´s see what the day brings .... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I count on it. We have no cooling in our house. We open the windows and doors at night and close the house up as soon as the temp is warmer out than in.... that would be shortly after sunrise. We might turn a fan on mid-afternoon. Phoenix ... well... a different story. w/o A/C, there is no life. It "cools down" to 90`. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix is in the low desert ~ 1100ft. Lot more pavement and buildings and a certain amount of irrigation. I'm at 3700ft, in a cold air drainage, it is 5` warmer just up the hill.... in an "isolated" area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 @MicroMara yea the t-storms have always dropped the temps a good bit when they are strong. It doesn't last long like when a tropical system does it. Don't have the daily big temperature swings like the desert regions. Seems like when I was younger the afternoon storms were a lot more violent though. Rarely do we get the 60 mph gusts that took down healthy trees & limbs often then. It is nice not to have to cut up and carry out the debris so I don't mind! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Back from 3 days w/the grands at their house while my daughter and live-in are at some National bowling tourney in Vegas til Sunday. Got relieved @ noon by PBH aka the Psycho _*T(# from H3ll. Needlesss to say, they were on auto-pilot til she rolled in. My Grandson was up @7 playing Fortnite and my grandaughter still checkin her eyelides for holes when I left. Woke up every morning covered in cat hair from the couch. Yuk! Survived it though. Lil bit of rain so far today. Clueless as to any news since they run Roku or something. I feel your pain @MicroMara the entire family sits in front of the puter 24/7. Wild! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm spying on two places west of the Blue Ridge Parkway right now. Not $$ cabins or real beauties but they would both do for my next 25 years or so! Each has over an acre. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
