Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

Made it Sadlers creek State Park until Monday. Discovered the GFI outlet in our carport had been tripped and now we need a new battery for Jeremiah. Fan not opening so obviously it is not running either. Trying to figure out if the fan problem is a byproduct of the battery’s demise.

Rain, then rain with wind. Next the sun came out. Since we backed up 2 miles of Lake Hartwell behind our site, we had wind. Then really windy. And still pretty breezy at 9:47 pm.

The front is headed our way in Florida. Forecast is for it to stall and give us 2 to 4 days of much needed rain. I’ll be headed to the flyin at Lakeland next Sunday. Hopefully it will dry out before then.

Filled with envy! First, its a beautiful time of year in Florida -- second, well...its sun 'n fun! I've only gotten to go twice and I actaully think I like it better than oshkosh. OSH is so big it is overwhelming....I am exhausted after just 5 or 6 hours. Maybe if I were camping there, and could go back to the campsite and rest -- but without AC and in the summer heat I think that would be asking for it :)
 
Baby gets new shoes today!
I thank Cary & forum members for sensitizing me to potential tire failures due to age. Date code revealed that the tires on our 2012 560 are originals, manufactured Oct. 2011. (2nd owners) We did OK, but 15 yrs is stretching it too far.

And the weather! Climate?
Although we in Portland had a normal winter, with none of the extreme highs and lows of other regions, there’s trouble ahead. Southern Oregon has 8% of our thirty year average snowpack, northern 45%. Bad news for ag, ranching, and water systems, and very bad, even dire, news for the coming wildfire season.

Spring has sprung, temps in the high 70s this week and it’s time to mow, again…

Not much rain here either. Winter is usually pretty wet in Upstate SC. Lake Hartwell is done 7-8 feet right now.

OH WOW! That is definitely on borrowed time! 5-7 years is recommended.

I'm ready for spring to sprung here --- it did briefly but snapped back. I'm not sure if we actaully broke 32 last night, but I know it was close. Initial forecasts were for 29. We've got another one tonight, right at freezing...33. I'm so over it. Not the first time we've had a late spring....I remember will in about 1996 or so riding my motorcycle when it started to snow. It was May first. And in about 1999, we were watching the 500 from the garage, and there were flurries.

Stuff Happens I suppose

On a more interesting note, I just got a product announcement from etrailer....a new fan from Maxxair is available. I am not 100% sure its new to them, or a new product. But, I'm one who likes to have air moving aggressively around me, this might be something I would have considered. Sadly it is missing the rain sensor feature - so I'll pass.
