I juiced & pasteurized two liters worth of mandarins today. The mandarins still on the tree should hold quite a while longer even with the upcoming cold snap. #HomeOrchard #Fujifilm
In X-Plane 12.04 Beta 2 I’m following United 2376 (777-2, EWR-SFO) in an A340-6. I’m barely keeping up with the 777. There's some light chop just west of Laramie, which is reflected at BumpySkies.com. This latest XP beta improved weather greatly. More chores to do in cruise!
I must admit I’m going to miss certain key people & orgs on Twitter no longer showing up in NetNewsWire and likely Mastodon (@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org ‘s amazing NWS weather bots). My severance from Twitter is nearly complete. Completely caused by the Twitter itself.
OMG this is insane. Pea sized hail & the backyard is just flooded here in Orland. Lightening too. #cawx
Now that the latest wave of rain is done, 1.6 inches of rain today. Highest daily total so far I think. Unheard of in Orland. #cawx
0.6 inches/hour now in my backyard😳 #cawx
1.2” yesterday in Orland. CA. #cawx
In my N. Sac Valley backyard, got 0.44” from 17:00-19:00 today. Winds are beginning to gust over 20 mph, approaching 30 where my anemometer maxes out. Lots more rain to come! #cawx
There’s potential for large impacts from weather in California over the next week or so. We just inventoried our emergency kit & are charging our battery banks.
I just turned the compost and wow those soaking rains bring the FATTEST volunteer earthworms into the compost (or encourages them to gorge & get happy in the compost). We do have volunteer resident worms in the compost, though in the summer they stay at the very bottom.
