OSUT 259: The essentials of a happy 4th of July: red, white, blue, and barbecue

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy Coop. It's still raining pretty good but the thunder and lightning have moved off to the east of me.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I don't know where Callie is. If she's outside, I'm sure she's holed up somewhere. She may be inside though.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Weird... our cable just went out but we didn't lose internet.

I hope you find her DD.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Cable's reconnecting now.

 

[BeDome]

WOW!!! That was a close one! Flash-bang at the same time!

Same thing happened at our old house once.

Went out after the storm passed, the cast iron storm drain was in the middle of the road and the concrete curb was busted to junk.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I hope you find her DD.

I'm sure she's fine. Not the first time she's been caught out in a storm.

 

[GregD]

I think this will go under us.

My biggest lightning fear is for these big trees we have. When I was about 5 years old, Mom and I were watching a storm through the picture window. Mom started to say, "Wouldn't it be something if lightning struck that big cherry tree?" She only got out, "Wouldn't it be something if lightning" and WHAM! Lightning struck the cherry tree! I said, "Do that again Mommy!"

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yeah, I think you're safe up where you are Greg.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

That cherry tree got struck a second time when I was a teenager watching the house for Mom and Dad while they were in Florida. That one took it the rest of the way down.

 

[GregD]

A lot of thunder with little rain

 

[BeDome]

Not a lot of rain here, but quite a bit of electricity so far.
That's fun, but I'd rather have the rain.

EDIT:
HA! GregD, you scooped me!

 

[GregD]

Howdy BD

 

[BeDome]

Tossing together some spaghetti and garlic toast for dinner.
Getting it going.

 

[GregD]

Supper is ready.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Callie was up here on the deck the whole time, curled up on a tarp.

Sun coming back out here….that was a nice rain.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Sun coming back out here….that was a nice rain.

Yeah, it's getting bright here too, with just a real light rain.

flat out muggy here
