Big storms going on here now and most of the day. It started right after it got light. Didn't have time to get much done before that.
Did you see the pictures of Anthony Hopkins house on the cliff in Malibu? It is about to fall into the sea - thanks to the heavy rains.

@Akrnaf2
I don't have a place where I can achieve 70-80C for a big cabinet incubator. I don't have an oven that big.
I don't even have a working furnace upstairs any more. One of my furnaces bit the dust and it hovers in the high 50s F up there now. Thank goodness winter is almost over. My downstairs furnace is on its last legs. I just paid $265 to have it repaired and he had to steal parts of the dead one to do so.
The circuit board and gas valve were shot and would cost $1000 to repair and he said there is no way he'd invest that much money in such an old unit.
They were high dollar Ruud furnaces that lasted 30 years so I guess I can't complain. But replacements will be $3500 each installed with 10 year warranties.
It was 2F Monday morning but we're going to have much improved weather from here on out.
The lower level heat rises up the two stairways to keep the upstairs from getting too cold and I have space heaters in the bathroom and bedroom.
I'll wait till fall to replace the dead furnace then hope I get another year out of the other one and replace it when it dies completely.
And to think, a month ago I was considering one of those insurance policies that cover appliances, heating and cooling systems.

I'm innundated with junk mail from those people wanting to sell me insurance for the hot water heater & heating system. They can't seem to grasp the concept of wood heat!

I may have I just didn’t know who’s it was. We are already 10 inches over what we usually get here in my area. And we have till July to complete the rain season. The up coming storms have been reduced in size so it maybe dwindling done now.
Many large trees have fallen here in our area. Tree crews are busy.

That’s quite the mansion he has there. Or maybe not

And he doesn't say nothing? It must be The Silence of the Lambs, or he is beasy drinking a nice bottle of Chianti!

Well, apparently Bonnie is still kindling, so no final count yet. I'm up to 11 as of 15 mins ago. Here's the current kits. As you can see, the newest one is still red.
