I took a video on my phone (first time I've tried it), and fucked it all up, instead of taking one video, I took about 12 30 second videos, and I'm not sure how to download them onto my laptop (yet) and possible put them together to make one.
Trying to remember the atmospheric physics class from 50 years ago. Something like, assuming no frontal systems etc., the temperature typically drops 5F per thousand feet altitude increase.No, I'm going to look around some more. I was at 4300 ft....perhaps another 1000 will do the trick?
So maybe you could build a little shack on one tiny corner for us to live in with our cows?the guy I was talking to has 320 acres for sale
Not a problem......So maybe you could build a little shack on one tiny corner for us to live in with our cows?
HhahahahaaaOne nice thing about us vapers... we never throw a mod out the window and start fires.
G'night Dale. Catch ya later.
Interesting read, thanks GB.....!
Didn't notice you were here, was reading some interesting articles Gopher left earlier.....Hey Dale! I'm still awake! Miracle?
Well, our forecast for the day said partly cloudy and breezy. I looked up and said, "Those are cumulus and they are building fairly rapidly. I think it's gonna rain." Lannie said there was no rain in the forecast. An hour later, the sky was dark and you could see rain coming down to the west and south. Lannie pulled up the weather forecast and, lo and behold, the radar showed showers all around us (looked like a line of instability - thunderstorms). Suddenly, woosh... high wind and heavy rain. I saw it coming hours before it happened just by looking at the clouds and the official forecast didn't change to rain until it was actually happening. Why can't these assholes do their jobs? They are talking freezing temps and possible snow by Thursday night. Should we believe them? Will it be sunny and warm or a fucking blizzard?Was it winter spring or summer today?
Gotta ask, cuz one never knows......
Yeah, I just looked at the possible blizzard or decent temps.....incredible.Well, our forecast for the day said partly cloudy and breezy.

I have a ton of outside work to do and can't even plan for it because I don't have even a vague clue what will be going on from one day to the next. I wish I had reliable satellite and doppler data and maybe I could do it myself -- better that they do because clearly these idiots don't give a flying fuck what they put out... They could tell me what is going to happen in Ireland and it likely would be more accurate than what is likely to happen here. Do I sound bitter? Why don't they even care to try to be accurate?Yeah, I just looked at the possible blizzard or decent temps.....incredible.
And someone actually "pays" them too.....now that blows my mind.I have a ton of outside work to do and can't even plan for it because I don't have even a vague clue what will be going on from one day to the next.

I think I made $10,000 a year to be accurate within 5 miles of the base perimeter and within 5 minutes of actual occurrence (or I got my ass chewed). They make in excess of $100,000/year to play on facebook and fart in our general direction. We both had a BS in meteorology, but they had courses in basket weaving and political ass kissing while mine were atmospheric physics and thermodynamics.And someone actually "pays" them too.....now that blows my mind.
I need to burn 6-months of JUNK MAIL.....fuck me to tears....!Good night Dale. Sleep well. Don't work too hard tomorrow. If the wind isn't howling, maybe I can burn about 4 months of garbage.
Just forward it all up here and I'll use it as the dry base to keep the chicken shit burning.I need to burn 6-months of JUNK MAIL.....fuck me to tears....!
So did I....have a good oneNot sure if I have the energy to stay up here tonight. I really overworked today.
Hooray for them! I am glad some people on the west coast still have balls. Apparently the socialist nutcases in my birth state (Orygun) have long since lost theirs.Other counties here in the PRC are saying FU to Newsome, we are going to open up.
I assume that is a good thing... Are you going to start house shopping in Surprise, AZ now, or wait for the official date?I won't have to go back to work before I retire.
I've been looking online. I can't do anything until after I get my back surgery. Once I recover from back surgery repairs will be done and my house will be put up for sale. It will probably early next year before I can escape from the USSK.I assume that is a good thing... Are you going to start house shopping in Surprise, AZ now, or wait for the official date?
That's cool. I like that. Thank you.I am not a religious person, Don, so please don't take this to be too wacko...
May your surgery be successful and
May your desires become your reality.
I shall send energy in your direction that you get exactly what you dream of.
Reality is what you make it to be, so make yours a good one.
