The flood watch was lifted. We got a lot of rain and high winds. New Year's day I was greeted with damage to the roof of my chicken pen, one of the boat houses, a rain gutter blew off and the mizzen mast of my sailboat cracked. Officially the winds were in 50-60 mph, but we had to have a gust or two much high to crack the mast. The only thing on the sail was Christmas lights. With some places getting as much as 4 inches of rain we had flood warnings. The Cosumnes River broke a levy that flooded hundreds and killed two. While my area did not flood the river was within 4 feet of the top of the level. It's been a fun New year so far. And we expect more.
I think the drought is over now.

Not hardly. About 100+ feet of water needs to sink down into the aquifer across the entire central valley to be out of drought. Too many farmers pulling too much water out of the ground.

What a difference a drop of 2 deg C makes...

Brrrr...

(Still nicely a long way above freezing but by 'eck it feels damply chilly...)

Walmart was not bad, at the time the price was, gasp $348 plus tax & FREE ship($380.97 total) for a Vizio V555-J01 4K UHD tv,
which was lower than anywhere else and I did not want another roku tv which doesn't support bluetooth.
I'm still having structural technical problems, just not with the TV.
In other news my Toshiba Satellite laptop even with a shaky power connector is working with
a new battery that's charging according to Win 10, with a new 90w psu too(45w is stock), a right angle power
connector doesn't work right, while a straight power connector works, I also entered the wifi password and MSE is working just fine.

Winning after several beers at the top pub with several mates (it was getting far too crowded here with the stuff going on ATM) while watching the 3rd test.

I'm having 1 more beer as a good sized soup bowl of beef "whatever" soup get slowly nukes.

Cheers.

The next storm starts at 4 am pacific. The weather service has issued severe storm warnings and flood watch.

We're pushing the monthly average temp here up today as we get to a very summerish 31C (felt like 29C) as these clouds turned up.

Cheers.

A rainy morning win.

Winning on an overcast Thorsday morning as the sun begins to rise.

Time to switch the kettle on.

Cheers.

Who turned the temperature off?!!

Today we've gone from shorts and t-shirts straight back into winter woolies!!

Are we back to all seasons in the day?

And the bemused plants are dreaming of springtime already...

It looks like bluestar is buying another round. We ask for a ruling from Judge Smith. Does a lot of words and a hot link qualify for this action in word link?

I reckon that's worth 2 rounds. ;-)

Cheers.

Sad i`m late to the game again.

Don’t worry about it Mike. I like my computer with 4K resolution. I had no idea my 10 year old graphics card would have a resolution this high. I just took a stab in the dark and got lucky.
