I had to apply a 2nd Lidocaine patch to my left arm just now.

Internet is still down for the entire area here.[/list]

We reached 27C (felt like 26C) today while those showers and storms skirted around us once again so mowing will be on tomorrow morning.

Anyhow I'm trying to stay awake for another 60-90mins otherwise I'll be up at some ridiculous time in the morning.

Cheers.

Why does everything have to pile up onto the Friday?

So... All the timing all goes to ...

At least I can feel virtuous for un-jamming a few jobs with some keen sleuthing. Yeah! Still glowing nicely from some technical revelations yesterday. Proprietary lock-in be damned!!


Lots to do!

And the weather has taken an about turn to be unseasonably warm and mild and not freezing wet. That jet stream high up somewhere must be very badly kinked at the moment...

As everyone knows Friday is "POETSday", and thus anything that doesn't get done this week won't be done of Friday, so will be left to next week, and as it's not been done it can't be important.....

Happy Friday!
The sun just poked up over the hills at its 31f in Reno. Forecast is for snow starting about 9 am. The sky looks too clear for that but I see that we are going to get "Walloped" by a new atmospheric river. Fox is protecting 3 atmospheric rivers in 5 days. It looks like we are finally getting our winter.

Winning on a Saturday morning as the sun is about to rise and it's 15C (feels like 14C) with a stinking 29C being expected.

Anyhow it's time for a coffee.

Cheers.

Well it's another morning, I think have a cold, I feel as weak as a kitten.

My Internet is back online as 6am.

A queen size blue marble bed sheet set for my gf, a box of cereal, a heating pad 12x24", some 8.5x11" paper, an HP 67XL Black ink cart, those are the last orders for 2024 by me.

I've got the old mower all fueled up and ready to go, but I'd better wait an hour before I fire it up so that I don't annoy my neighbours too early. I'm hoping to at least get half of my backyard done before it gets too hot out there.

Anyhow I might as well get a 2nd coffee into me as the temp hits 17C here.

Cheers.

We got to 28C (felt like 26C) here today, but the easterly wind off of the ocean arrived early.

Yes some may scoff at that temp (especially here down under) with 35% humidity on the big ridge that's still 4C above our December average. It's very reminiscent of 2019, except wetter with no bushfires encircling us this time.

Well the old mower is ready to go again in the morning and I hope that my neighbours will forgive me for an early Sunday morning start as I hope to get most of the backyard (if not all) done before it get too hot.

My wind tunnel got up to 24C (felt like 22C), but the humidity was twice as much as outside so when that easterly wind turned up I opened it up. It's now 21C (feels like 20C) outside and 22C (feels like 19C) in here.

Anyhow I guess that I should think getting myself something for dinner.

Cheers.

Currently, it's 34f and we have some light rain and snow. I'm on a hill overlooking Reno. It looks like I am getting snow, but it's rain not much further down. Heavy show in the higher elevations. I am not driving down to the Delta this weekend. Chains are required on the pass and they are having heavy rain down on the coast. I see San Francisco has tornado warnings and 60 mph winds.
A nice cup of coffee, purring cats, and bread baking are my pleasures this morning.

Well that's my veggies taken care of and some needed supplies gathered up from the supermarket so it's time to get that mower cranked up again to see if I can get that backyard of mine finished before it gets too hot, or I run out of fuel as the temp is now a muggy 22C.

Cheers.

Chains are not currently required in the Wilderness.

Getting over a cold, tis the season I guess.

Meanwhile the masked owner of a Galena Mine @ Cerro Gordo, He's looking to mine 10lbs of Galena and to refine the Galena to as many ounces of Silver as he can, Galena also contains Sulfur and LEAD in the mineral, he has the 10lbs 5.4oz, he's hoping to get at least 1oz of Silver.

3lbs 5.9oz of lead and silver after refining.

80mins, a tank of fuel and 11 catcher loads latter I've got about 19/20ths of the backyard done now leaving that small part of the backyard, my side of the laneway and my little front yard let to do tomorrow.

Time now to cool down inside my wind tunnel with a few beers.

Cheers.

Chains are required here and in the mountain passes. We had between 4-10 inches. I think I had about 6 where I live. That's what my balcony looks like.

4.0% vs 1.8% Lidocaine, both are Topical, one is a roll on, then other is a patch.

This area hasn't had 6" since 2008.

We reached 28C (felt like 25C) today and as the sun is about to set it's down to 23C (feels like 22C) with 15C expected in the morning.

Well the old mower is ready to go again and finish the taming of the yard in the morning.

Cheers.
