How's the weather been?

[Xraycer]

Golf ball size, we stand outside with our drink glass hoping to catch one before getting knocked out

Lol

Yeah, those Aussies are a soft lot! @Warby

Somebody took advantage of a bad situation

They are saying that the Atlantic current is weakening, and if it collapses, we'll be in for some big climate changes over the next few decades. I have noticed weather patterns have changed a lot since I was a kid, and even moreso the last 5 years. The Earth goes through climate cycles, and I think we're in for a really bad storm season this year because of the ocean temps being so high.

 

[Chubaka]

Wow!

@WickedFog just calls that Wednesdays

I wonder if all those dimples makes for better speed and handling on that Subaru

In essence your now driving a golf ball.

It would have been more poetic had that Subie been a VW Golf.

I was hoping too.

I can send you a ballpeen hammer and you can let us know.

I hear it works better on those Crosstreks.

 

[WickedFog]

I hear it works better on those Crosstreks.

I only heard it improves their looks

 

[Doom!]

My car would be cute with dimples.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Finally getting some nice weather, hopefully I'll heal up a little more and get out for some Crappie.

 

[WickedFog]

We have a big storm coming, but nothing on the storm prediction center's site says anything to worry about. I love thunderstorms like that. Show up, make a lot of noise with a light show, then leave.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I love a good thunderstorm. Several years ago before the landlord cut the tree out front down, I had to park away from the house until the storm was over because it would drop huge limbs.
No need to now and I love it.

Remember back in the day when Kansas used to be tornado alley? It's now Oklahoma. I have seen more tornado chasers in Oklahoma and northern Texas this year than anywhere. The people living there have to be getting tired of getting beat up.

 

[WickedFog]

And yet another night chasing in Oklahoma.

Speaking of large hail...
Texas had a state record hail stone found the other day - 7.25"

 

[Doom!]

I think swim season is upon us.

Sun is shining & its raining.

Wow. This was just on my weather app. I was a bit off saying tornado alley is in Oklahoma now, but maybe the weather app is a bit off

That's not swim season. That's crawfish (human) boil season.

Thunderstorms with possible tornadoes

All passed over us now
No tornados. Just heavy rain for like 5 minutes

Moving to Northern Minnesota. Sharon has family there. Try to get it done before snow flies up north.

Temps here in Houston already in the high 90deg F with heat index in triple figures. And it's not even summer yet. At 80y.o., window for me to get any outside work done is limited to about two hours in the early morning. As a climatically official jungle environment that means never getting ahead of the growth. Place is a sweat box. Had enough of that on active duty. Time seek shelter away from this madness.

Two high intensity storms - one in March and one in April. Hail did in the roof and sunscreen porch in March at a cost of $18K for the porch alone. Insurance covered some of it but still had to lay out $8K. Roof is damaged but doesn't leak and is still undone. Then April storm took down the backyard cedar tree and severely damaged the picket fence - $1200 to cut up and remove the tree. Fence yet to get repair at [probably] ~$800-1K.

Time to cut losses, sell the house and unarse the AO. But, hey, on the bright side. MN the land of 10,000 lakes. Guess I'll be getting a RC boat? -AC
