Rain should be on the way.
Jul. 19th, 2020 10:01 pmNo rain here today but pretty solid rain chance for the entire week. Looking forward to reporting rainfall amounts from my now barely used rain gauge. I got enough rain to read it once. Looks like the rain might start about mid morning and last for awhile. Haven't gotten a decent rain in a couple of weeks. It looks like the panhandle is getting doused again tonight. Seems like it is an everyday thing there. I know the storms they get can have tornadoes and large hail. Living in a similar area I have seen some big hail. Kind of rare here to get large hail. We did get one not too long ago. Somewhat larger than a dime.
Checked the National Hurricane Center's map today and something is there. A disturbance that they predict has a low chance of formation but is probably going to move into the gulf in this direction. Absolutely got to keep an eye on this one. I know I have my new generator just for such an emergency. Still would rather not. The Saharan dust cloud looks like it has moved off and opened up the sky to the sun and moon and stars I guess. Looks like we are going to have at least through midweek kind of dust free. Still a big cloud over the Atlantic.
It was a nice launch today. Actually remembered to watch the launch of the H-2A Emirates Mars Mission. Almost forgot. I think there was 22 minutes before launch when I thought about it. Was a successful launch and from a Google search later the satellite is on its way to Mars. Always fun to watch. Was launched from Japan. And tomorrow the Falcon 9 non Starlink mission is going to try again. I hope they can launch.
Watched a bit more, well, came closed to binge watching several episodes of Star Trek on CBS All Access. Still one more season to go. Then there is still Star Trek Picard. Don't know if Barn Wood Builders was on tonight. Tomorrow night is the game show "The Wall". Very interesting show.
Did read LOL Cats today. Always fun and well worth finding. No lap cat yet but Fozzy seems to favor later at night.
Was finally an incense day. Burned two sticks. Lavender and Vanilla. Made the house feel good and relaxing too.
Today was an eBay day. Got a part for a project. Something I am doing as an experiment mostly for fun. Came courtesy of Federal Express. I guess they delivery on Sundays too. Not much project work except relocating some to my work area. Might actually do some work tomorrow but still don't have the final part. And still thinking about the way to do it.
Got another HEB delivery coming on Thursday. Got my motor oil in the last delivery. And still have several days to add item although I never seem to add more than just a couple.
Gold and crude trading now. Gold is still above $1800 an ounce and crude is still mostly staying put. Not much movement at all. Gas price shouldn't chance much.
Looks like Gary's Bellmead station has been put back into service. In other electric car news Nissan has decided to drop the CHAdeMO charger in favor of the CCS. Bringing a single standard to cars other than Tesla's. Kind of like the Beta Vs. VHS. Maybe this will help put more charging stations in service. Only used super charger once and that was mostly just to see how they worked.
Added a new friend on Facebook. That makes two new friends in the last couple of days. People I actually know. Now on linked in I accept every request. And I understand just a little bit more about Rooms. Not much but have a little better understanding.
Did the usual housework. Cleaned the kitchen and loaded and ran the dishwasher and also did a little vacuuming today.
Checking the schedule at Constellation Field this Friday is also going to have fireworks. And it looks like every following Friday is going to have fireworks.
That should do it for tonight.
