Another whacky weather week up here. Tornado warnings in 4 of the last 5 days. Phone alert at 1:38 AM for the first one took a few years off my life. The others have been in the late evenings. Thankfully no damage. Just lots of rain. We had already exceeded the monthly average in the first 7 days. Not sure where we stand now but has to be a record.
 

I’m sure @Grumpy Bear has been seeing similar crap down by him. Tonight’s band was 1000 miles wide…

 

We had basement time. Not fun as the wife just had a hip replacement and stairs were not on her bingo card. Rain, wind, hail and twisters. YUCK. Still our property has faired better than many. We spent heavy last year on water abatement and it has already paid for itself. Basement is as dry as can be. Roof looks good and we lost no glass. Big upgrade. 

 

We were out of the tornado warning by 10 pm last night but the rain kept up for a few hours more and the thunder was deafening at times.

As of this morning we've had but three days this April without rain. We have twice our monthly average at 6.09 inches. This is keeping the sump pumps busy and the grass by the bubbler watered to death; cutting a ditch in the turf. Better than in the basement. More is forecast for later this week but we are getting a few dry days. Those few are recording sub freezing temperatures over night killing off early sprouts. 

 

I have to say the lawn has never looked better and I've mowed a summers worth already. Glad gas is cheap :crackup:

9200 feet Grumpy. We got 18 inches over 2 1/2 days, 19 degrees today.

Wife is doing ok. Her eyes will never be the same but it could be worse. 

Thanks for asking.

3" of rain yesterday in 30 minutes. 2" 24 hours earlier and we are getting another storm that say  is larger today in about 2 hours.

 

We had about the average for April, a very VERY dry May and now I'm hoping to see a rainbow in June. Corn is loving this stuff.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
