Well, Connie and I could use some warmer gloves. Those leather work gloves we've been wearing while outside don't really help keep the hands warm very much.

I've noticed the ones that are thick enough to keep your hands warm are TOO thick to allow you to use your hands for anything!

Damn... It was supposed to be just partly cloudy today, according to the forecast I saw up to going to bed last night around 4am, but that forecast was WAY off. Been raining here all day long. So much for my thought I would be able to take the blue C5Z out for a drive. And on top of that, we were planning on folding up all the tarps we used to cover the citrus trees today, but now they are all wet as hell and it will take a couple of days of good weather to dry them out so we can put them away.
Heck, they can't even make an accurate forecast 8 hours in advance any longer. Forget about 3 days or longer.

They did a much better job back in the 70's and 80's. Most people that do the weather are nothing but $10 a hour Q- card readers.
There is a strong line of rain about 80 miles offshore to my west, so i hope i can get some rain out this system.

We got DUMPED on by that system. Cats and dogs style. Wind kicked up and blew stuff all over the place. Connie has a big card board box that she uses to help cover some of her smaller plants and that blew right across the porch. I thought I was going to see a tornado pass by. Tree branches are laying all over the yard, but I don't think any trees came down. At least none near to the house. Power went out for a few minutes a few times, too.
Connie just got back from the market and said there is a pond at the end of our road, so don't even think about taking any of the vettes out any time soon.

We only got .30". But at least we are way ahead than we were the last dry Jan's. Already had our normal rainfall for the month.
