OSUT 257: Spring is Finally Here. Bring on the Outdoor Fun and Grilling Season!

Now it's letting up. I think the worst has passed us for now, but there's another big blob heading this way. Still out west/southwest of Plainfield for now.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

We might get some of this if it holds together.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Crap. Looks like another downspout clogged on the west side of the deck and my bag of charcoal got wet. Going to have to transfer it to a trashbag. Started to pick it up and could feel the bottom start to tear.

Hi DD

Still dry

They're very spotty for sure.

Callie hung out on the deck with me through it all. I put her in, but she wanted right back out with Daddy.

Looks like we might get sporty here in Beanblossom shortly. Sky changing, wind picking up. Just caged the tomatoes. Hope they're up for it.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy patience. Yeah, you might get the southern edge of the blob that's heading our way.

Susan just went back inside. It was getting a little chilly for her. I'm just enjoying the thunderstorms. This is the best one we've had here in awhile. Of course I don't want anyone to suffer damage, but I just love watching storms. Have since I was a kid.

I was there a little after 6AM and was way down the line, but it was quick. Lots of people coming and going.
I was home well before 7AM.

Okay, funny storm story here. When I was probably around 4 or 5 years old, we were having a severe thunderstorm and Mom and I were watching it out the picture window which faces the back yard. Mom was being Mom, and figured I might be scared or something (I wasn't) so she said, "Wouldn't it be something if lightning hit the" *CRAAACK* Lightning hit this big old cherry tree we had out back before she could finish her sentence, which was going to be "cherry tree?" I just looked at her and said, "Do that again Mommy!"

Edit: Needless to say, after that, Mom didn't have to discipline me very often!

I left home at 5:55 and was back home by 6:15.

Gaaaah... West end of my deck is getting flooded. Got to unplug that downspout tomorrow before the next rain comes in. Should've checked it while I had the ladder out today.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Just light rain now. I think we're done for the night.

All I'm getting out of this is bone aches, so far.

Latest radar I've seen looks like it misses our berg completely.
