Well it is just after midnight, Thunder is booming off of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and we are getting our fourth swat from Hurricane Hillary.
I went out today and dried up everything from the last storm, and it’s all wet again.
Fortunately it was pretty much nothing but rain (so far!) and there was no heavy wind. Just enough to knock the dead stuff out of the redwood trees.
The storms that we had this spring were much worse than this, and actually ripped my “awning”. So far no damage this time.
Also no bike riding here, and I was just recovered to the point where my bogus knee was maybe ready to do a five miler.
What’s really funny is I have no desire to take my motorcycle out and get it all dirty. On the other hand, for three days I’ve been thinking I should go put the fenders on the black Manhattan Green bike so I can ride it on the wet roads.
Instead all have I have done is clean up the property, clean my aquariums, and clean a little bit more on the car.
Pine Flat reservoir last summer.
We stop at the toilet & pay our $10 at the ATM. The boat ramp is a mile down there.
“ Point to the water Judy!” It is way down there.
Now:
The ATM machine is gone but you can’t move that toilet.
That last photograph is a file photo from the Fresno Bee.
That was taken before hurricane Hillary, But it can’t be any higher than that now because the dam was running over the spillways.
