Cooler and a bit less damp to start, probably hot by the end of the day.\u00a0\u00a0 Weird weather yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 As long as the wind was blowing it was tolerable.\u00a0 Got pretty unpleasant when it got still.<\/p>\n
Then the rain started, off and on.\u00a0\u00a0 Cooled it down a bit, but increased the humidity.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The big storm got here around 5pm.\u00a0\u00a0 Temps dropped to 67F and the thunder and lightning started.\u00a0\u00a0 It was right overhead.\u00a0\u00a0 Pretty to watch, but no so nice to be out in it.\u00a0\u00a0 A couple of dead limbs came down too.<\/p>\n
Lost power for almost 3 hours.\u00a0\u00a0 Discovered that I don’t have as much stuff up here as I’d like.\u00a0\u00a0 Notably emergency lighting. \u00a0 We live on the Gulf Coast, so no one even blinked, they just lit FLASHLIGHTS and candles. \u00a0 I got the oil lamp going, and the Coleman propane lantern. \u00a0 Cooked dinner and the power came back when we were ready to sit down and eat.<\/p>\n
I did manage to fish a bit, but didn’t even get a bite.<\/p>\n
We mostly worked on small projects.\u00a0\u00a0 Changing doors, door knobs, cleaning carpet, moving stuff around in the garage, replacing cover plates, that sort of thing.<\/p>\n
Played a couple of games with the kids, Rummikub and Catan as it was still raining until midnight.<\/p>\n
Today it’ll depend on the weather but I’ve got a few more ‘outdoor’ things I could do, or I can keep working on the storage and cleanup stuff if it’s raining.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got 6 buckets of bulk to put away too.<\/p>\n
Potatoes continue to grow, berry bushes do not.<\/p>\n
So I stack food.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you can’t garden, stack more food…<\/p>\n
