Everyone ready to destroy the weekend!?!?

Plans?
Fun?
Work?

It’s raining like hell in NJ today, so no outdoor work. But I am picking up a new sidesxside utility vehicle. In the rain of course.
Dreary day here so no outdoors fun.
Just working on my story since I've been slacking a little lol

Lol sloshing around in the mud, sounds like fun.
 
I LOVED Mrs. Maisel! We dumped Comcrap and have found that just about everything we got on cable is on Hulu Live. ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, and most of the major cable channels. The only NFL games not on Hulu are the Thursday night games that are now only on Prime (which we have anyway because it pays for itself with all the free shipping you get with Amazon purchases), and last season they had a playoff game that was only on Peacock which was annoying. I had to pay $6 for a month subscription just to watch that game. I didn’t mind paying the $6 as much as having to remember to cancel the subscription at the end of the month. Hulu Live also has tons of college football games. All the big games each weekend plus lots of small school games.
Then maybe we can dump Comcrap! Our cable bill is astronomical especially since we don't really watch that much TV. 😕

I loved Mrs. Maisel also! I wish AP could have continued the series. I thought there was MUCH more left to her story.

We're going to a home remodeling show tomorrow. I actually love remodeling and construction stuff. I thought I was done, tho, but now I've decided we need to change out fixtures in the bathrooms.🙄
 
Taxes. It’s raining this morning so this is a good time to get them done. Everything is in TurboTax and our tax situation isn’t complex so it should only take a couple hours and we’ll be getting small refunds from federal and state. Always feels good to get this annual task done.
I need to do mine. Ours are pretty simple, but for some reason, I'm always filing on October 15. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
 
Waters already over the culvert on our farm. .5” of rain so far and another .4 expected to fall.

It’s not that unusual… a good half inch of rain in a couple of hours will do it.

But if that culvert gets washed out… I’m fucked.
Will your farm get flooded?
 
Not surprising. The stupidity displayed by visitors to the mountains can reach epic proportions. Sometimes locals use the word "cityots" to describe them.

Yesterday I spoke to a married couple with kids from San Francisco who were heading to stay the weekend at a cabin near Lake Tahoe. They were in a hurry to stay ahead of the storm, which coincidentally was heading for exactly where they planned to stay.

My thought was "what part of 12 feet of snow and winds ranging from 75 to 130 mph don't you get?"
Have people always been this stupid??? 🙄

That's a bit more than gale-force winds. More like hurricane🌀winds. A snow-urricane, if you will.
 
I worked in reno as a travel nurse and drove to Tahoe and Virginia City and another trip to Yosemite....so beautiful
It's a beautiful part of the country! When I lived in LA, Reno was a short plane ride away. We went to Tahoe to ski fairly often.
 
I made us scrambled eggs with sautéed red onions and gouda cheese with bacon for dinner.
Sounds amazing for breakfast too.
We're getting rain, snow, and wind here.
That is not nice weather. Today its supposed to be sunny and up to 60F.

Yep. I saw plenty last year when hiking Glacier National Park. One decided to try bear spray in the camp store!
morning from UK!

it's cold! again.
It morning here but should be afternoon there by now. I hope your morning was a good one.

It was really good. And just what I was craving. We ate the eggs with tortillas.

Some people are just fucking stupid! 🙄🙄😤

No. It did back in January when we got two 4 inch rain falls a few days apart. It also started undermining a bridge I have up in the woods.

But the creek will pretty routinely go over the culvert. It’s actually designed to I think - it’s lowest in the middle.

It’s old and the concrete and stone really needs some work. I will have to fix it this summer. And we are going to have to rip rap (put large stone in to prevent erosion) two turns in the stream. Also planting red dogwood on the stream which helps the soil stay in place.

This is from last spring.
