Sunny and clear, 72F.

One last beach visit for the kids, packing, cleaning, etc for the adults.

Evening flight, late arrival home. Gonna be a long day.

Kids want to visit the Shedd Aquarium. It’s been a while for me, so i guess that’s cool.

Cooler and overcast, good for walking…

Added, never hit publish. Looks like maybe Science and Industry instead. You can” do things” there….

Sunny, blue sky, 70F here in Coast Guard City USA. Beautiful.

Local knowledge. This is something preppers forget or discount. Not having it could kill you.

Two days ago my host looked at the weather and beach report and declared that no way would we be going to the beach. The wind was from the wrong direction. The water would be muddy with a severe undertow and the waves would batter us. Two people died and 5 more were injured at the beach that day. They were not locals.

I’m headed into Chicago, for family business and to take the kids to a museum. I would not by choice. I’m no longer a local.

70F and overcast, with a bit of rain and some distant thunder. A far cry from what the weather liars had predicted. It was awesome for Coast Guard week, and they need some rain, so it is all working out for the best. If you count on knowing the National weather, at least in broad strokes, NOAA isn’t trustworthy this year.

The plan for today was to do a little carpentry repair and continue checking out the local amusements but we’ll see if this overcast clears up. The rain has stopped. Maybe I’ll rotate or add to the preps I put on the basement last time.

Which reminds me, do any prepping last week?

N

78F and overcast. Local forecasts day nice day but humid and hot. NOAA says severe thunderstorms. I guess we’ll see.

And the waistline…

This area was settled by the Dutch. Lotta good food to be had.

Blue sky with small puffy clouds, and 68F atm.

I read more when traveling than when home. Just finished Mira Grant’s latest zombie book which is a new look at the events in her previous first book in the Newsflesh series. The series is well written and her SJW tendencies are under control. Somewhere between the last book and this one, she lost control.

Full SJW retard. Never go full retard. Angry lesbian protagonist, “genderfluid” housemate, black soy boy beard. Shots at Republicans, Trump. Even in the last chapter she’s STILL going on about”mis-gendering” the genderfluid. I think I’m done with Lynn’s cousin.

Oh the other hand, the final book in the John Ringo colab with Larry Correia in the Monster Hunter International universe ROCKS!

N

Posting from phone sucks. 68F and sunny here today. Yesterday was a nice beach day. Waves were 2-3 feet. Rough surf. Sunny and warm though.

Local attractions today.

N

Arrived safely at my destination with a minimum of fuss and hassle. Currently 75° F, and forecast for rain. Looks nice at the moment, so we’ll see.

TSA was easy, definitely carry a small child if you want to avoid hassle and invasive searches.

Time to feed these small kids….

72F at 7:20am. Perfect rule of tens start….

Traveling later today, packing this am. I’m going to do the same as my last trip, only taking a samsung tablet and BT keyboard. We’ll see how that works out.

It does make linking, and copy paste very tedious.

I should have something to say about TSA and United’s new plane loading policy, hopefully all good. I’ll be catching the end of “Fleet Week” so might have something interesting about the Coasties based where I’ll be.

If not, you guys (and gals) will have to talk about FLASHLIGHTS.

83F at 8AM. Nick’s rule of tens says “Hot today!’

Lots of stuff to do before leaving town.

Hopefully, the world will hold together while I’m traveling, and no hurricanes will spring up.

But, you never know.
