So long Summer, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. Buh-bye.

The chickens are asleep at feeding time. I guess this is the weekend to put a light in the coop and try to get them back on a laying cycle.

Oh weather, blessed rain after 19 days of dry.

Gravdigr · 09-11-2015, 04:06 PM

We got wet last couple days, too.

About a month without measurable rain.

If you're not doing anything special during the evening of 9/27th...

In PDX, the moon will rise in full eclipse around 7:45 pm, and
proceed thru partial eclipse and end in about 1.5 hrs later.

Of course if you're not on the West Coast of the US,
you'll have to recalculate for wherever you are.

I'm still being fascinated during early morning walks in our new home town.

This morning around 5:30 in PDX for example, our Eastern horizon and up and off southerly
gave full sight of the brightly lit Jupiter, the reddish Mars and it's temporary companion,
Regulus, and an extremely bright Venus, ...followed by Betelgeuse and the rest of Orion.

City star-gazing is usually not so dramatic.

I had occasion to be outside in the middle of Bumfuck Indiana last week. They have a lot more stars than we do.

glatt · 09-30-2015, 01:06 PM

Uh oh.

bbro · 09-30-2015, 01:42 PM

glatt - that shall be my weekend. my work is already sending out "what to do if office is closed" emails

Griff · 10-01-2015, 06:35 AM

The potential track is all over the place. Leaving civilization this weekend we'll see what we come back to...

footfootfoot · 10-01-2015, 08:39 AM

Like they need all that rain in the ocean.

Greedy, greedy ocean.

bbro · 10-01-2015, 09:42 AM

It's been raining here in North Cackalacky for about 2 weeks. We do NOT need more rain. Damn hurricane. I WANT TO PLAY WITH MY NEW CAMERA DAMMIT!!

glatt · 10-01-2015, 10:53 AM

It just keeps getting crazier.

17 (SEVENTEEN!) inches of rain predicted for the western mountains of N.C. over the next few days. That kind of rain in the mountains can wash entire valley towns away. This is going to be interesting. My own forecast has increased from 4-5 inches to 5-7 inches.

Why do I get the feeling the TV stations and other weather prediction reporting services, have begun to comb the weather prediction services to see who can get on the air with the most outrageous predictions possible.

Ratings, baby, accuracy is for pussys, especially after having a summer of relatively calm. When I was in Illinois the talking heads were breaking the weatherman's balls all week, because the weather report every day was, "Same as yesterday".

Even around here this summer, if the temperature was going above 90, [klaxton] HEAT WAVE, PANIC, DANGER Will ROBINSON!!!! [/klaxton]
