Beautiful Monday morning High Tide
« on: August 23, 2020, 06:40:53 pm »
A beautiful Winters Monday morning high tide today bringing in blue ocean water, the outgoing tides are slowly starting to clean up as well from the 27" of rain that we have had over the last 4-6 weeks.

Looks so beautiful and tranquil, hard to believe the absolute Hell, repeatedly, that scene has seen in the very recent past.

Wishing you and your family all the peace and beauty of your locale for the rest of your days!!!

Great view Jim, we had that last week at the cabin, but only for a short 6 days. Now it’s almost 10 pm and still over 85 F in our house, we’re keeping warm  ;)

That's to warm Nick for restful nights sleep for me, I'd have the A/C on. What's the humidity like?

The hottest day that I have ever experienced was the Saturday after New Years day when the second fire front came through, we had gone by then four days (another 7 to go) without power and the temperature that day rose to 48.7°C (119.66°F), the heat felt like a furnace....that was one hot night.

I know it gets like that often in Central Australia in the Outback in Summer, I don't know how they stand it  :'(

Looks like it was 81% humidity today, I just think of how cold winter is when it’s hot and sleep naked 😂

I never forgot the vid of Lenn throwing boiling water up in the air and Jenny and I just had a cup of coffee and were talking about your vid of you shoveling snow off  (think it was your Grandparents house)  the roof and porch. That was such a good vid.

I usually don't mind the cold, but I think I would mind it then.
If I had the storage space... And the money... I'd have a few more engines.
