I let you know folks long back don't wager the bank we will see anyplace close to the precipitation sums this fall like we had in 97. So far no downpour to discuss this fall and i don't see anything genuine for no less than 10 more days and by then we are going to go into winter.

For whatever length of time that the upper levels are secured like they have been the most recent 8 weeks we will see no genuine downpours. Eventually it needs to change and lets trust we get no less than 20" or downpour for Jan and Feb. Be that as it may, as i generally say, don't wager the bank we will see any genuine downpour this winter. Lived here all my life and live climate day in and day out and i know not. Never take stock in what these alleged climate individuals tell ya on the news.
I remember. That is what all winters should be like. Never take stock in what any of these weather peeps say. No one knows our local weather like i do. I told ya all way back this last winter would not be anything close to the winter of 97-98.

Still making money on that? I moved to NYC 1 month ago. So far it has been very hot...but nothing I can't handle as a Florida native.

This would be my scope to keep. Tube will need a mirror and other parts. Just a mirror alone from a top notch mirror maker is around 6k or more. This would be a $10K+ project.

You sure? I remember growing up it was quite cold in the mid-2000's when I would go to school in the morning.

Nothing like the 80's super freezes. 21 in 1981 19 in 1983 and 24 in 1985 and 25 in 1989. After that things changed.

Another odd summer with the bulk of the rain coming in a few days and dry the rest of the summer.

Good day to work on my new project.
