Usually it bites me in the ass... this time we got a great soaking. Time to play the lottery. Exactly. Told a friend today to get tickets. it rained on his birthday! Only reason I did was will be on the road. I keep the vegetable garden watered and all my tropical potted plants, but fuck grass during a drought.

July 20, 20241 yr The way the sage bushes are blooming I’d say we’re gonna get some good rain. Just drove around town and they are thick with purple.

I understood that reference.gif Currently reading Bill Bryson’s book 1927 and he devoted a chapter to the most successful writers in the early 1900s and it was interesting to see that none of the ones we associate with that era now (Fitzgerald, Hemingway, etc) were even close to best sellers at the time.

Cool. What does that have to do with the rain?

July 20, 20241 yr There's a Riders on the Storm reference in here somewhere if Jim Morrison has the courage to kill himself again. Wednesday will barely top 80 I bet. Gonna be muggy as fuck, but this is awesome for late July. Obviously we will all pay dearly in September. PSA: dump all the standing water in a week's time. Mosquitoes started out slowly this season but they are fucking pissed.
July 21, 20241 yr Models just keep getting more and more aggressive. Please little baby Jesus, let this verify.
July 21, 20241 yr No fucking way this rain event happens! In July? Fuck that. Just more hype from the local B team meteorologists. Where is Yeomans when you need him?

July 21, 20241 yr Spent the week in Asheville getting rained on. Back home now, and seems like I brought it back with me. Y’all are welcome!
July 21, 20241 yr thank you squish. Near-in SW austin. air is getting stiller, barometric pressure is dropping every-so-slightly, and humidity ticking. Clouds are about the same but coloring is changing. I figured this for later tonight, not mid-afternoon. Intermittent gusts suggest it is speeding up any word on hail on this deal?
July 21, 20241 yr 3 minutes ago, YGIFS said: any word on hail on this deal? why you thinking about becomming a roofer? getting thunder, semi steady wet things from the sky for the last 45 mins or so in 78757 not huge amounts but enough to see sitting water in tiny little pools in multiple places in the yard

Don't quit your day job(s).

July 21, 20241 yr I like roofing. I don't mind the asbestos. I put mustard on it, I eat the fuckin' shit. We're near 2244/1, coming up on .8" already. Radar shows forcefield kicking in about 90 minutes though despite that massive deep orange/red wave coming from the NXNW.
July 21, 20241 yr Looks like forecast is pushing this further south than before. DFW and North Cen-Tex chances have dropped significantly. Good news if the movement south holds for Austin and SA.
July 22, 20241 yr Played golf at Shadowglen today. Had a chip in eagle on 9. It started drizzling on 11 and they shut down the course. You’re all welcome.
July 22, 20241 yr Just a straight line of rain from the edge of the rain dome straight up the Colorado River all the way to San Angelo. It’s beautiful.
July 22, 20241 yr This is the first of many that could come through the Hill Country this week. It sure would be nice to get a few more + feet to go into the last bit of summer. There could also be more tropical trouble in August or early September.
