The Old Folks Home

[Nomadicus]

We have sunny days forecast until Friday night at least. Spring is in the air here. Time to work up some ground to get the potatoes planted in.

We are still fighting with two huge limbs that came down on our barn.
Mostly I just stay out of the way 2 neighbors showed up today with a excavator.
Lifted the limbs off the barn. They set them where they can be cut at will.

Goodnight Old Folks.

The storm that starts here tomorrow is predicted to bring 1.7 inches of rain on one of the two days. That is a lot of rain for here.

Lake Shasta is almost full! If we get more storms like this, they might have to release from the top of the Dam. The spillway has not been open for a long time.

Whoa, that's a huge amt of rain! I think we'd drag out a canoe or something lol.

We'll really get clobbered by it Wednesday; Weather Service says 2" to 3" that day (plus ~40 mile an hour winds, uh-oh!) along with just under an inch tomorrow and again on Thursday as it moves away.

Everything's so saturated already, I bet a bunch of trees will lose their grip if those high winds develop, and there goes our power. [Might be the time to try out our new propane generator...] Folks were kayaking in the next town's streets with the Jan. 13 storm, and this'll be even wetter. Local reservoirs are full or getting there, a great blessing after years of drought. But there can be too much of a good thing when it comes all at once! I expect the 101 freeway will get closed in the low spots and rock slide areas, and the Mad & Eel Rivers will spill into our low-lying areas again. I'm glad we live on higher ground, but don't plan to try driving anywhere on Wednesday!

I wouldn't plan on driving anywhere on Thursday, or Friday either, from what you're describing.

Hi

 

[Sally PB]

I spent nearly two hours at the Social Security office, sitting and waiting. I had to turn in a form that I couldn't file online (so I'd read), and it took me all of 5 minutes, once I got to talk to a person.
