Nasty year for weird storms. Just talked to the daughter - - good storm just passed thru out at the ranch - - some stuff blown around but nothing hurt. Some hail coming down. Hey, jathink ole Gore could be on to sometin? HHMMM?:????? - - - -on second thought, nawwww. Let him go invent another internet and leave the weather alone.

Nuther long hard day. Work on the lanai is done - - added another 150sf to it and it really opened it up. Now the fun stuff like pavers, cabinets, gas grille/hood, sink - - should be fun and neat. Can't wait - - well, maybe I can since I am doing all the rest of the work except laying the pavers - - not for me with the back problems. The blonde is getting excited - - she didn't quite visualize it.

OK, off to vittles - - be good.

Al Gore and his henchmen missunderstand basic weather.

What causes turbulence (tornadoes, etc) is temperature difference. When the Earth heats up, the equator stays about the same, and the poles warm. Weather is more violent because of the increased temperature difference. A warm Earth is a calm Earth.

I think it is getting stormier, and it's been cooling off a little for the last 10 years or so.

We just had the second coldest July on record.

Yeah. So far AST is ahead with six bad guys shot this year.

It hasnt dried up enough here for me to even mow the weeds. Plus I need to change the oil in the mower, I dont have any gas, it needs an wheel alignment and there may be a mother bird nesting in the aircleaner.

Good morning DTronians.

Bark were having one of the hottest summers.

Having a "wedding party" introductory get together today for my oldest daughters wedding. Her idea and my wife gladly volunteered our house. About 40 people coming over most of whom I have never met. Had to take yesterday off just to do all the yard work, set up canopies, chairs, etc like a loving father should do. Oh yeah, shes not getting married until September 2013. It should be a good time, got plenty of fuel for the evening bon fire, that way I wont have to break anything down.

Rise and shine folks, have a great day.

I was hoping, but sometimes that backfires on me.
