Well, ya just never KNOW, ya know? I mean, we don't know anything about that guy. For all I know he had just been talking smack about MooHammed hizself. He's just Dadgum Lucky it didn't straight up Blow his danged head Rightthehell Awff!

Even the end of the week looks bad....Thursday is strong thunderstorm and Friday is not much better.  Even Saturday is forecasting thunderstorms.  (The weatherunderground site just has too much data and it locks up my home computer).

This is not my year for good vacations.  In February I was invited to go to Tahoe and go skiing for the first time in 11 years....and it rained for 5 days straight!  The weather was great before we got there, and it cleared up after we left....all we could do was hide in the condo as the winds were 40 mph at the base and 150 at the summit!

Something's up with your Wintel kitchen laptop most likely, as I can run the Wunderground Android app on my cheapest old shoddy handlebar cell phone with only a seconds delay while the maps build themselves up.   And that sad little cell phone defines the term "complete lack of resources",  really.

I have noticed when the slow down strikes my wife's Win10 machinery and believe it or not so has she -- her first step now is to walk three steps over and sit in my chair and light what she was doing in Linux just to see if it is a network or a Mickeysoft issue.

For an amusement, I set up my Mint Mate 18 desktop to look exactly like hers so she can find her stuff in a familiar environment -- except for her proprietary school softwares everything runs off a Libre Office equivalent, not MS Office.

She complains about my funny menus but she gets around in it just fine.

Trip called on account of pesky thunderstorms and steady rain on some days.

We can't plan for mountain weather -- so we got to get all sorts of "more flexible" about our trip plans.

Mike, ya gotta look at the weather where you are going to, not where you live --  ya only got two (2) Robbinsville  "good days" to work with next week.    

And those are cloudy and subject to change on you suddenly ....

I am going to crank up a thread for the MM's Farm trip to see what we (all thinking together) can cook up for some ideas that might be relatively "weather proof".    

This fast changing rainy weather stuff is really giving me the pips .....    

Well this is a bit frustrating....I have looked at the weather and it just isn't a washout today or the next few days.  The amount of rain accumulation they are currently predicting is pretty minimal at 0.12" today and 0.2" tomorrow.

It did turn out for the better that I stayed in town and got a lot of work done - we have been having the kind of weather that storms hard for an hour or two - then the sun comes out and the weather is very pleasant.

Nobody gets treated as well after being so wrong as the weather guessers.
Can't get twenty minutes from now right, but Ohhh,Boy, twenty years from now,, look out buster!

A coupla weeks ago it stormed hard. The doctor and I were tugging on our ears because the barometric pressure swung so fast. The weather radar had me riding home in near monsoon weather, so we hunted a path around. I studied it, knew the roads, but decided to just go home. I never hit rain heavy enough to have needed wipers in the car.
And that GAP I was hitting if I left Galveston to ride it home last year? Yeah, instead of hanging out in a clear spot I got blown into an intersection, and as I tried to turn around and head for cover, the wind stood me up. It's not funny to have your right foot down when you are turning left.

Does that mean I won't look at the radar? Nope, but it's not perfect..


I was really hoping that trip was gonna go as planned..
So much planning and such anticipation, bummer..
