What a pretty view you have. 

 

My daughter lives in Arvada. I texted her Tuesday as I heard snow after a day at 95 F. She said no, then a few minutes later a short video of snow falling on the  pool. Just that quick. Love the Rockies.

Be happy. The rest of the USA is boiling like a lobster OR drowning like rats OR "This IS Kansas Dorothy and your little dog too".  :) We went most of two months without a drop of rain until the grass turned to dirt and the dirt to cement then it dumped 2-1/2" in a hour and drown all the ground squirrels. Finally a steady three day soaker, which brought life to the dirt and grass as well then......tornados. Devil is an angry boy.

We have been getting rain almost everyday. Not complaining. Great for fire control that is a concern when dry.

Big storm yesterday afternoon. Hard rain, hail and lighting. 

45 degrees this morning. 

Some erosion repair needed.

Unusual rain in the Houston area too. Usually with the exception of a afternoon thunderstorm we’re really dry this time of the year. Cool for the area low 90s

Utopia. I could live in an area like that. Grandkids and a wife that is cold adverse, keeps me in the oven called Texas. At least October through June is bearable. Lucky dude.

For several years my job limited my visits to my Houston area family to July and August.  I agree it is much better visiting at other times of the year!  Currently where I live, being surrounded by trees isn't enviable. We currently have 300+ forest fires in the province and it's early in the season!

Good luck to you. Part of my past involved working with the national forest service. They maintain with logging burning and cleaning out dead under brush. Some of our work involved endangered species. All that has lowered the threat of forest fires. I live close to some of the nicest forest around. Some of those practices could help out my neighbors to the west. Raging fires every year. Canada has some of the prettiest forest there is.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
