I couldn't resist and bought this at the Sunbirds store a couple weeks ago. It weighs nothing and runs off solar cells or solar something.
62F here again this morning. Weird. That would be warm for 7AM even in the summer.
Had to look up that solar lamp. Neat bit of kit. Might have to get one.

Hope they got more. I bought two more for Christmas gifts. I'm now cleaning up the hot tub. Even though it had no water in it, some seeped through but it isn't as disgusting as I feared. One wooley bear and several sow bugs.
I just got back from camp and it was a high in the teens early last week and now its raining. Off to put a wood stove in my camper!
Looks like it might be a little damp on The Peninsula. Flooding on The Dosewallips
Clouds are so low here I can't see the ridge a mile away out the windows.

I wouldn't have any idea either were it not for the URL visible in the first pic.
They come smashed flat in a disc. You can blow them up--there's a valve for that. But mine poofed up on it's own. They run about $14 and also have a strobe setting. I'll maybe take it backpacking, if I go again because it weighs nothing. Hmmm, what if it were filled with helium?
My barometer doesn't have many more numbers left to fall to. It is at 2829 or is it 28.29. Not much wind today and not an extraordinary rain either.

thought today was the day , was not bad till about noon . pretty good showers for about 2 hrs. guess the worst is gona hit tomorrow afternoon and evening. up to 80mph gust 40 to 50 sustained . gen's got plenty of fuel, got fire , bring it on. i think the only reason the national news is even talking about it is because central and southern cal is going to get hit.
Yup, the Sacramento television reports would make a person think the end of the world was coming.

Hit here at 9, blew through, done about 4, plenty more still out there.
Another whopper way off, a wait and see.

our local weather guys are getting all worked up, they need some excitement. the locals pretty much know the score.
They are showing houses that are falling into the ocean at Washaway Beach. It's the only beach front property that is affordable for lower income people. There's a reason for those low prices.
Same here. Except we don't hardly have weather guys any more. We have weather gals. I don't know if they're all really bona-fide meteorologists or not but they're sure easy on the eyes.
LOL...for the first time in years I have every flashlite in the house working and I even got a fresh tank for the Coleman lantern. Both rigs are gassed up and I tuned the portable generator today. We're stocked with groceries and firewood and stuff to read and all the saws are ready if I need them when the pine trees start falling over.
With that level of preparation the damn storm will probably go around me or fizzle out altogether.

We are used to storms like this, we check the car windows and call it good.
...and if it's been a bad year and only one window will roll all the way up you make sure it's parked to the lee side.
