The backup propane-powered generator kicked-on about 2:18AM as anticipated given the warnings from PG&E. Ostensibly it’s due to “high fire danger” from “gusting winds,” and the Media is playing that tune loud and clear, but meanwhile rural school districts are closed for the day and freeway commuter traffic has slowed to a crawl as traffic signals are non-functional…
And the Fat Boy is in the garage. 
With .50 caliber holes in the wheels…but more importantly the social experiment is over and power is back.
Another Cloudy Morning
A dash of fuzzy weather blowing through, but paint is on the walls and next comes tile as the bathroom remodel moves forward.
Not a lot of drama in the skies, and it will clear out by the afternoon.
Surprise!
An anomaly! A little bit of weather blew down out of the Gulf of Alaska, and we are getting a drizzle.
Meanwhile back at the ranch…the shower pan was poured and has been curing-up the past couple days.
I need to get some grout for the flooring.
Flyover Morning
The sun is coming up later each morning.
And I have RSO duty today.
Never Forget
Active Summer
There’s a bathroom renovation taking place, and exercise; we have been walking (and biking) the El Dorado trail, early before it gets too hot – and I have been volunteering my time Friday mornings as a RSO at the range.
And the sun is moving back across the horizon as days get shorter and sunrise takes place later.
Unusually Cool…
…For this time of year, and the Summer has been mild with only a few days in the 100’s, compared to last year when we had three weeks in the 100’s.
Low 100’s today, humidity 20% at most
6:20AM and 73 degrees. 9:30 and 89 degrees.
Low 100’s, humidity 20% at most
6:20AM and 73 degrees.
Salmon
After filleting and bagging, we had 8-3/4lbs of salmon… Nice!
Freeze it, and next up is tomatoes.
