It’s now late Monday evening and there has been some rumbling and distant lightning strikes and a gentle rain is falling. It has happened a couple of times and it strikes me that this might be a recurring pattern. I would presume we get some significant solar heating during the day with some strong thermal uplifts, but with the overall low humidity it would take a while to build thunderheads, and therefore the lightning and thunder and rain at night (rather than at 2pm like in Hawaii, Florida, etc).
It was reminded of my high school play, “Camelot”, when Arthur is selling the whole deal to Guinevere by talking up the weather (and the title of the piece; at 1:31).
I’ve been talking to the girls & Patrick about my trip to Portland at the end of the month. I’m going to extend my stay through about the 17th of August to get the condo ready to sell. Patrick has agreed to come back with me to give me some help moving stuff into a storage unit/and or into the condo. The girls will be holding the cat hostage for his safe return. I’ll plan on a possible return after the cruise in late August to take the final load and pick up the cat. That handles what to do with the cat during my 7 day Mexican cruise with Jan & Mike.
Should be moving the trailer closer to it’s final resting spot tomorrow and waiting to hear back from State Engineer for permission to drill the well. I am certainly not being bored with nothing to do.
