Thunderstorm rolling in. Again.

 

[JimBear]

No rain here, some thunder, 2 obnoxious sound machines & screaming grandkids were happenings here last night.

After episode 2 of screaming grandkid, I got up & was greeted by essence of chitty diaper as soon as I entered the kitchen.

Garbage is hauled out & coffee is brewing.

All the rain was IA/MO border south & north along I-80.

Looks like the Hoskey boys may have gotten a good shot overnight as well.

Morning everybody.

I was born in Joplin, raised in the Kansas City area through high school and have lived in the Spfd area for 46 years. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just plain too hot July and August and too cold in January and I can’t (won’t) do anything about it. I like this part of the country. But I’ll still wish it was January when it’s August and wish it was August when it’s January.

I was born here; the summer weather sucks.

I did about 4-5 hours of tree work on Friday and Saturday; it was miserable; the heat takes the fun out of it. I think I was near death...

Anyhow, heading to church to get my worship on. Carry on...

Cooled off a bit around sundown last night,
Man, the Cicada’s were in rare form.
super noise makers.

Something about the weather sucks wherever you are. We adapt, do what we have to do.

and *b-word about it

Exactly.

One good thing about the summer weather here is it's too hot for many mosquitoes.

Actually I think it's the bats and the tree frogs keeping the skeeters down. Just my opinion. Glad either way.

Likely enough, I know bats can make a huge difference in the mosquito population.

I have heard that skeeters overheat at around 85-90° and become way less active.....but maybe it's fake news, idk.
