Weekend thread opened.
Well my Wimmins’ were at PC Beach Sunday through Wednesday but headed on up to Alabama because the weather turned nasty. Daughter decided to go down yesterday since the weather had faired off. She texted me earlier and asked if I could see her on the Beach Cam. I figured out where she was but I couldn’t make out people… Read more »
My #74, oh Shannon hasn’t made an appearance yet.

What no weekend thread? Go ahead Shannon, we trust you……. 😉
Good morning Hamsters. We’ve had west wind and overcast since last night, no meteors to be viewed, just the bottom side of clouds. Only 84 on the front porch facing the wind and 85 in the back yard sheltered by the house. Kinda hazy even with the breeze. Hmmm. Latest look at the radar about 30 minutes back showed most… Read more »
We had cloud pollution in town and couldn’t see nuffin either.
We looked for meteor showers last night but we got too much tree pollution.
Light showers here yesterday, although as normal it appears that there were surrounding areas that received recordable amounts. Every little bit helps. The outdoor animals had been drinking my watering hole dry every night here lately – they normally drink one-half or less, which tells me that their other sources were about gone. Looks like I finished my irrigation system… Read more »

Weather forecast for tomorrow indicates the slowpoke system will bring rain by nightfall and likely drop a lot on varied spots, perhaps 5″ or so. Street flooding is likely. But parts of central LA got 17″ from it today. Shudder
And to our west in the Austin area Earl’s remnants are making rain as they slowly drift our way.
This dude can take what should be a solemn and honorable gesture and turn it into something bizarrely creepy.
An interesting coda on my time in the 4005th USACPSD came in the waning years of the Clinton Administration. Clinton was finishing up te job Carter started in changing DCPA (Defense Civil Preparedness Agency) to FEMA, changing the nature of the Agency from one with primarily Military leadership to an all civilian agency. The 4005th was decommisioned and all former… Read more »
Here’s the thing. You can protect every device you have. You can even buy a pre-1969 automobile and keep it running. You can put away 5 years worth of food and potable water. You can store a kajillion rounds of ammo for each of your weapons. Ain’t none of that gonna save you in the event of a nuclear exchange.… Read more »
Texpat says: AUGUST 12, 2016 AT 9:52 PM I have accumulated a large inventory of used microwave ovens in the last hour…tens of thousands of them. I’m open for business. Put a couple of cell phones, GPS devices, I-pods, I-pads, tablets, etc inside each of them, along with a bunch of batteries and one of these into each of them… Read more »

All I’m trying to avoid is the fallout when hillary and the dems blast Guccifer.
Well, as just your average military trained pussbag I can tell you one make things fried, crumbled, and flat, the other one just makes things fried.
See you at the next PrepperCon! Make sure to bring your wallet. There’s lots of stuff for sale to make your house (and barn) immune from nuclear winter.
#55: Look pussbag, what do you not understand about the difference between a direct, low altitude strike and a high altitude EMP?
Sheesh, sometimes you are really an obnoxious PITA.
Bonecrusher says: AUGUST 12, 2016 AT 8:54 PM #50 Sarge: Thanks for the historical info. The article was dealing with the high altitude blast emp. If you are within 100 miles you prolly wanna be fried in the initial blast instead of having to deal with the fallout and the radiation sickeness. My thought was that, according to the article,… Read more »

It’s been a real pleasure not having to put up with a buncha Russian slugs this Olympics.
Oh my.
Sure is warm in here.
Bonecrusher says: AUGUST 12, 2016 AT 6:27 PM #39 EG: Unless I am missing something, wouldn’t a well constructed metal barn with a tight fitting double door protect cars and everything else in case of an EMP? Its a good deal more complicated than that. My first encounter with the term EMP was when I was in an Army Reserve… Read more »
OK, I’ve got my hat now, so here goes. Guccifer 2.0 has apparently invaded the Dems hen house and cleaned out all the eggs. If you’ve been having difficulty lately getting in touch with your congresscritter, or if you are curious about what they talk to each other about, here’s the list of cell phone numbers and other selected tidbits… Read more »
Maybe just a tin foil hat will take care of my immediate needs.

I’m thinking that a Faraday cage might be the answer. I’ve scrolled through Sarge’s You Tube ratings materials and have not yet located a review for one. I always rely on Sarge’s reviews before undertaking a major project, but the time seems short to me. Never throw away an old microwave oven. Best dang Faraday cage you can get. If… Read more »
Dang.
That led to this.
I swear if I win the Lottery tomorrow night S.O. and I are going to be the oldest Tedeschi-Trucks groupies in the world.
I’m conflicted. I’m trying to decide which is the best non-Etta version of I’d Rather Go Blind. I’ve always thought this one was it. But a couple years ago I was at a concert the night after Etta died and Susan Tedeschi sang it in tribute. The only good recording of her I’ve found on You Tube is this one,… Read more »

Thirty Eight!!!! Wahoo!!
DAYAAM, it’s HOT!! Lil’ Bit doesn’t care, she is ready for her walk. I wish we could get some rain, but I’m grateful for that 1/10″ late yesterday, it did cool things off.
I’ve already hunkered down.
Those easterly winds blowing in from Louisiana often contain extremely dangerous and contagious afro-spores. Wear goggles and a face filter, and for sure, wrap your pipes.
Hmm, a westerly wind has arisen with some vigor, the humidity is 40%, and it’s 97 in the shade of the back yard and 94 on the front porch. Could that herald the remains of Earl moving in to set up a head-on collision with the stuff from LA steadily chugging this way? That might bring a bit more than… Read more »
That’s a weird little weather maker that’s been crawling over here from FLA.
#32: What state is he in/from?
/scrams
Another high speed car chase. However, this one was very unusual. The perp looked to be a honkey.
We had a shower pass overhead, probably less than 1/10th, but it did cool things down a bit – only showing 102 now. I think the ground actually raised up just a bit to try to suck the moisture out of the air as it came by. Wind is still blowing, so hopefully we’ll get what we used to call… Read more »

Heat index here is about 111. Yankees are passing out everywhere.
