    Hot!!

    Damn.... just before noontime and it is already 95.0 degrees according to my weather station. "Feels like" is showing 113.2 degrees. And climbing... I think it will be a good idea to just stay inside today and do continuous checking on the air conditioning. :)

    Wagon Lizard

    I know most people call these guys "Fence Lizards", but I can't ever recall actually ever finding one on a fence. This one seems to prefer the wagon we have sitting underneath the car port, and her favored position is laying in the corner looking out over the driveway with her front arm draped...

    Atlantic tropical storm development - Late August, 2019

    Or lack thereof... I was checking in on Ventusky today to see if anything was developing that might be a concern in the near future and noticed something rather interesting. It looks to me that what used to be normally storms coming off of the African coast into the eastern Atlantic...

    Baby lizard season - 2019

    This is always an interesting time of year around here when the baby lizards are hatching out and nearly every where you look. The apron for the garage seems to be a particularly hot spot for them, for some reason.

    Pileated Woodpecker hard at work

    Saw this pileated woodpecker out back of the house working over a dead branch on the live oak tree out there. Looks like a young one to me. axhzZyNII_I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axhzZyNII_I

    Alrighty, then!

    Man, GOT to get me one of these puppies! Shoots the .300 Blackout round, which seems to be kind of a .308 short. Designed for being shot out of a short barrel. :)

    C8 Not bad!

    Honestly, this 2020 mid engine Corvette actually looks better than I thought it would. eUx179SZ6mY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUx179SZ6mY

    Maybe I should stay out of the water!

    I just got one heck of a chuckle from this

    I saw this on another website I frequent, and, well, sometimes the truth just tickles the funny bone.

    Rattlesnake

    Well, today seemed like a good day to get outside and work in the yard. No rain predicted, and things have dried out from the several days of rain we had last week. We are clearing away the grape vines and bamboo in a little patch on the west side of the garage so the big palm and bunch of...

    Hurricane season prediction - 2019

    https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-predicts-near-normal-2019-atlantic-hurricane-season Gee, that was helpful.... 30% chance that the season will be above normal, 30% chance that the season will be below normal, and 40% chance this will be an average hurricane season. So they don't even...

    More varmints!

    So this year I decided to try my hand again at growing some watermelons. Haven't had much luck in the past, but I'm trying things a little differently this time and hoping for the best. Planted two mounds in the area near some fruit trees, one of a variety called "Giant" and another of "Congo"...

    Mostly hot and muggy with widely scattered yellow flies.

    Yeah, it is yellow fly season around here again. I have to say that we really hate those SOBs. Probably more than any other pest I can think of that we have to deal with. Makes doing anything outside not only NOT fun, but often rather painful. Connie really welts up badly from their bites. I...

    Turkey and turklettes with maybe an unhappy ending.

    Put the game camera out to monitor a burrow on our property last night. Turned out to be a armadillo's home, but the camera running this morning wound up catching some other critters too. qfLOgYcg_gU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfLOgYcg_gU Hope that isn't the mom turkey at the end...

    Personal weather station info - north Florida

    Here is a link to the publicly viewable dashboard for the personal weather station I installed here: https://dashboard.ambientweather.net/devices/public/d94d1005394fb2cfc6aee6ac1a9d62be I don't see how the windspeed indicator is much use, however, as it seems to fluctuate so much that I'm not...

    Side effects from drugs.

    Yeah, I know this is a sort of gallows humor sort of thing, and likely not very funny to the people who need to take such drugs, but damn.... I still get National Geographic magazine (even though they have taken a turn for becoming a left leaning political promotional rag lately) and they...
