Got on the mountain yesterday before the rains hit.
Watched the front come in as in sideways snow!
Watched it for most of the day.
Weather station isn't working so guessing wind speeds and temps.
Got out yesterday afternoon before the big hard rain hit.
It was a muddy slick mess.
Came up this morning is was slick first couple of miles.
The higher I got the more things looked funny.
Dusting of snow and ice.
Locks on the gate froze. Stood for a while as close as I could get and stuffed my lock under the jacket in a nice arctic wind.
Can't get the building warm it's trying to snow again and I'm about had it for the day.

Yeah it has been a crazy year 85 degrees last week and woke up to a skiff of snow here this morning. I will take the cool spring days over the heat any day.
Posted by Paul Melching (Member # 885) on May 18, 2017, 04:22 AM:
Still waiting for three nice days in a row , cant make up its mind if spring is here or not . Been a crazy winter. Good news is I all ready cut , split and stacked two and a half cords.

Forecast for 6" to 12" of snow here through today and tonight. Thank God for global warming because otherwise this storm would probably dump 2' instead of 1'. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Had to bring the hummingbird feeder in this morning and run hot water over it to get the snow and ice cleaned off and warm the juice a bit. Little fellers were shivering and couldn't get a drink.

Had an F3 tornado tear the crap out of things here locally Tuesday night. Wiped 7 houses out completely and was on the ground for 30 miles. Just missed Great Bend, the town where I live, by about 3 miles.
We are in the bullseye today again for strong thunderstorms, tornadoes, and up to 4" hail starting after lunch.
Funny thing about tornadoes, hail, and Global Warming...you actually have to have COLD air to make either of those weather phenomena happen...

That's the nice thing about being a LIBERAL GLOBAL WARMING IDIOT; Everything relates, they can make evidence from all three sides, which really takes imagination and talent. Talent for lying through their teeth.

The Hell of it is they aren't lying; they really believe all of that crap they bought into.
Reality check; The earth has been warming since the end of the last ice age and will continue to do so until the beginning of the next ice age with little regard for the puny humans that infest it.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on May 18, 2017, 08:10 AM:
The one that drives me nuts is the CO2 deal, carbon credits, and the "pollution" and the dumb shits don't seem to understand that plants, all vegetation LOVES carbon dioxide, the basic building block of life.
Plants love CO2, plants love GLOBAL WARMING! Longer growing seasons, what's not to like about that?
Sun spots, solar activity, always influencing earth's climate. We can't pass restrictive laws to regulate the sun, despite what Liberals wish to happen, since they think virtually everything is solvable if they just pass a few more restrictive laws on humans.
I would like to see the pants pulled down on Windmill technology. Except for the huge tax incentives and the idiot subsidies handed out to wind farm developers, economically, it makes no sense at all. And even after the cost of manufacture, and Greenies seem to think these huge machines are created by miracle, they still have a certain and predictable life of service. Why do you think there are so many that don't turn? Yeah, they need maintenance. Environmentalists are among the stupidest people on the planet.
Okay, end of rant.

Posted by Paul Melching (Member # 885) on May 18, 2017, 09:12 AM:
As soon as I can afford it I will be getting a small wind generator to supplement my solar panels on less than sunny days. They can help but not a reliable source of power. Driving in to Commiefornia as you are leaving Palm Springs you get to witness the decay and disrepair of the dizzy sticks on the wind farms.
Posted by TRnCO (Member # 690) on May 18, 2017, 10:35 AM:
update, national weather now forecast for 9" to 18" by tomorrow morning.
we had bad hail storm last week. Something like 765 million dollars worth of vehicle and house damage done in the Denver metro area. Had up to tennis ball sized hail. Thankfully, nothing more than 1/2" sized at my house.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on May 18, 2017, 11:10 AM:
Yes, and are the local networks screaming, CLIMATE CHANGE?
Like the Chicago Godfather, (Rahm Emmanuel) said: Never let a crisis opportunity pass; or something like that?
This is why we have all the Russian hysteria, everything points to Russian's hacking the election if you just squint your eyes the right way. And, the Special Prosecutor will find something, even if it involves Clinton and a stain on a blue dress.

My nephew is a large loss claims adjuster/appraiser spends a lot of time in Colorado on large loss hail mostly commercial roofs and hail damage.

Well Paul, your nephew is busy if he's around Denver. One of the largest Malls is closed down for 6 months for hail damage repair from the last storm. Here's a headline of a local paper.
"Hail-damaged Colorado Mills unlikely to reopen for 6 months, could be a $2 million hit to Lakewood tax income"
Posted by Paul Melching (Member # 885) on May 18, 2017, 03:20 PM:
He is in Colo. now has a team of six adjusters busy as a two peckerd goat in a barnyard !

supposed to be 72 degrees today, two nights ago wind and snow flurries !

earthwalker. I came on to give you shit about your sig line. I noticed it's changed
Guess we can't complain about water for now ? well, I was when my well was giving me fits this weekend. It's all good now.
Me & my daughter just came in from the rain. Goats hate it !! gave the horses hay & carrots for a snack. Soakin' wet !!
Posted by Kokopelli (Member # 633) on June 11, 2017, 08:07 PM:
Our monsoon season starts on 15 June.
After 20 years of drought, we'll take every drop !!!
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 12, 2017, 05:02 AM:
By far my favorite Arizona season is the Monsoons. It's difficult to explain to an outsider. The heat lightning is awesome. Hail is a distinct possibility, weather comes up out of Mexico, usually.
God, I love that state! What the fuck am I doing here?

El Bee;
Look up that old parable about throwing a frog in a pot of boiling water versus putting a frog in a pot of cold water and heating it slowly to boiling temp.
Pretty much explains what you're doing in Calif.
Posted by Paul Melching (Member # 885) on June 13, 2017, 04:26 AM:
Its a grand undertaking to pick up sticks and relocate after living in one place so long. I remember when I left Calif. back in 1994 I brought a dumpster to my house and filled it with much of the contents of my garage mostly vintage motorcycle parts an hardware. Prior to leaving I owned 17 bikes when I arrived in Az. I had 2 felt like cutting off a limb. And so it went with many other things I like to travel Light. On the plus my new garage was easy to set up and keep clean LOL
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 13, 2017, 08:36 AM:
Pile it on, pile it on!
At least I have made small headway. The dead lawn is taken care of, the legendary hunting rig is sold, etc.

Posted by NVWalt (Member # 375) on June 14, 2017, 02:02 AM:
Yep, out of the blue I found myself moving from Nevada to Tennessee.Gave so much stuff away I couldn't believe it. But in your case Leonard, moving out of that shithole state you live in would be worth dumping the farm for. I understand some peoples jobs keep them stuck there. There is work elsewhere if one looks,even in the field of work they do. But after retirement, I do believe self preservation and peace of mind would account for something. Whatever the cost.You are only here on this earth for a blink of the eye. One should enjoy the journey. Not be wishing you were somewhere else.
The excuse of family lives here is way off.Plane tickets are cheap!
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 14, 2017, 05:59 AM:
I have to admit, there is no valid reason for why I'm stuck in this shithole state!
Everybody is gone, friends and family, I'm all alone. Hard to believe the real damage that the welfare state has inflicted on California!
I mean, take Fairy Jerry and his CLIMATE CHANGE overtures to Red China. This asshole has never had a clue! Imagine building a multi Billion dollar rocket train from Bakersfield to Fresno? And calling it, "Los Angeles to San Francisco." Just think about it, there is no reason for anybody to travel the 99 corridor? I mean, I-5 was a step in the right direction so that I can visit my daughter maybe twice a year. But do I need a billion dollar speed train so that I can make it in 4-5 hours instead of 7 1/2 hours? How is that idiot going to pay for it? Taxes and subsidies? That always seems to work when you are a brain dead Liberal.
I hope I'm out of here before I die! If wishing makes it so, that might help, some?

Posted by Kokopelli (Member # 633) on June 14, 2017, 07:54 AM:
Hey I'm sure that the train will work.
Look at how well the RTD bus system in Los Angles has worked out.
I actually saw a bus with 5 people on it one time.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 14, 2017, 03:47 PM:
One of the very laughable state programs is RIDE SHARING.
I suppose you could get 5 or 6 employees of the courthouse get together and ride from out this way? But it gets ridiculous when you consider the park and ride locations and the different starting times for people in different parts of downtown. It's totally unworkable in a Metropolitan Area like Southern California. You could wait six months to be hooked up with somebody and even then, they think a two hour difference in starting times and length of workday is not a problem.
Ride Sharing in Southern California is a complete failure. I mean, joke. Must have been designed by a granola Liberal? We are in our cars here and it's going to stay that way.
Now don't get me started on Diamond Lanes!

Posted by NVWalt (Member # 375) on June 15, 2017, 02:29 AM:
Ha,Ha,Ha Leonard.
What are your thoughts on those Diamond Lanes anyways . LOL. Just being an asshole.I do excell at that.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 15, 2017, 06:25 AM:
Yes, Diamond Lanes.
I have commuted to work, I have seen cars whizzing by in the Diamond Lane.
The stated purpose was to get more people out of their cars by "RIDE SHARING" and then they too could whiz to work with a buddy. Good luck finding a buddy with the same directions and the same hours and same days off.
Therefore, hardly anybody uses the Diamond Lanes, and therefore again, are the TAXPAYERS getting their money's worth from the construction and designation and dedication of these lanes on our only form of mass Transportation?
Let's say you have 3 or 4 lanes and during peak rush hours, (pick a number) you might see 100,000 vehicles per hour, in each lane.
Now, over there on the left, that Diamond Lane has cars whizzing by so fast they are difficult to count but again, pick a number, maybe 18,000 fly by per hour, during peak times.
So if Freeway construction costs a million dollars per foot, and that's probably not an exaggeration? then we are seriously not getting our money's worth from that Diamond Lane because it's stated purpose is a failure, it has not gotten people out of their cars, the users is static, long term and it's simply a waste of resources.
Some other states have disbanded Diamond Lanes in the past and I think it is justified in Southern California. It's got so bad that they have dedicated another lane beside the Diamond Lane just in case of a breakdown in that lane. They can't pull over to the right, the traffic won't allow it.
So now we have one lane being utilized at a 20% rate and the auxiliary lane in the case of breakdowns being utilized at 0%. Our Government Bureaucracy at work, for the betterment of all!
There you have it. If you can find flaws in my reasoning, be sure to point them out.
Good hunting. El Bee
Posted by Paul Melching (Member # 885) on June 15, 2017, 06:35 AM:
Diamond lanes are just another bad idea !
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 15, 2017, 07:26 AM:
Don't you mean, a Liberal idea, of which, they are all bad! If Liberals have ever come up with a good usable idea, I am not aware of it? Mental illness! Liberals are so fucked up, it's pathetic.
Good hunting. El Bee
Posted by Kokopelli (Member # 633) on June 15, 2017, 07:47 AM:
Someone feel free to correct my math, but..........
If you have four lanes.........
Three of them are grid-locked and one of them is unused......
Would not opening up the Diamond lane to everyone increase traffic flow by 25% ?????
No ?????
Then again, what do I know ?? I live on a dirt road !!!!!
Posted by Paul Melching (Member # 885) on June 15, 2017, 11:54 AM:

That's why they elected Gov. Moonbeam

And Maxi Waters........isn't she Californian ????
Shall we all join hands and sing Kum-Bay-Ah around this electronic campfire to help reduce global warming or some such stupid science event ???
Posted by Paul Melching (Member # 885) on June 20, 2017, 11:31 AM:
Speaking of weather we had our first monsoon rain yesterday afternoon cooled things off nicely ! went from 96 to 80 in a flash.
Posted by Kokopelli (Member # 633) on June 20, 2017, 01:12 PM:
All we got here yesterday was the wind came up strong in the afternoon.
We could really use the rain. Mount. Graham has fires burning all over it. Fires are probably contributing to global warming.
Hey; Here's a thought..........
More logging
Less fuel for the fires
Less fire / less global warming
Less smoke / better air quality.
Ergo;
Logging is GOOD for the ecology !!!!!

It is good they replant three for one we have more trees on this continent than any time in history don't tell the Wacko's their heads will pop !
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 21, 2017, 05:13 AM:
Nancy, had some friends, a couple, and they lived in Waco Texas. Very nice spread and they drove the latest model S class Mercedes. But, the interesting thing was their source of income. They owned acreage in Mississippi and were regularly cutting timber with no expectation of running out.
The Walters, they have lived across the street from me for 41 years. Many years ago, there used to be advertising on channel 9 or 5 about raw land in northern California called "California Pines".
They and grandpa used to drive up there frequently, built a cabin and sheds for their ATV's and just had a pleasant time cruising around the area. Very few people were resident and most of the land was pretty much untouched.
Well, one spring they drove up, (it's about 600 miles to Alturas) and low and behold, all the timber was stripped from their property and most of the rest in the general area. Some bastard just came in like he was legit and cut every tree for several miles and uglier up the place while he was at it.
I guess they tried to sue the bastard, but he had nothing and they got nothing. But, the thing is, no more dream retirement to the north woods, they never went back there except that one time. They still own it but it's worth peanuts, now. It would take more money than they have to make it look presentable, and this was close to 20 years ago.
That crook got away SCOT FREE with his Haggis!
Kinda makes you wish for a little frontier justice, ya know?
Git a rope!

How many bodies have you found, while coyote hunting?
I finally did!

No, it was in the mountains east of Barstow. Wasn't dead very long, he was blue.
Good hunting. El Bee
edit: had a friend found a body in a trash bag, in the desert somewhere east of Kingman. They could tell by the shape what it was, but felt they needed to open it to confirm. Saw a female head with a bullet hole, closed it up and lead police back to the scene, just like we did. Except, after driving and leading the cops for ten miles into the boondocks, they made us stop just short of the event while they went around us. Contamination of the scene, you know? Except, we had been walking around the area previously, so they took pictures of our boots. Didn't get much sleep that night. Also, there was a total blackout on, and in the newspapers. All they, (cops) said was; "this won't be in the news." Figure that one out?
