wet day
Posted on Saturday, April 20th, 2024 at 10:14 pmA double bowl of gumbo day as well, punctuated by a brisket sandwich. The first tub of gumbo is gone, four one pint servings. I got my appetite back. The second tub starts tomorrow. There will be a taco meat/cheddar (double) spud tomorrow, so only one bowl of gumbo. So the second tub will last at least three days.
The rain arrived, from the south, where it formed after crossing I-10. It has already topped two inches. That has passed, but the front from the north is bringing the main rain mass in from the west, and it keeps falling. It has been a serious rain day, to be understating. Dallas got clobbered hard today. Several fairly close lightning strikes sent Myka for cover. The temp has dropped into the 50s, house is closed, furnace is on but it hasn’t kicked in yet. The last bout of sleeves for the season.
Chores have been slow going and far in between, but they get accomplished. No dire need confronting me, so the slothful procrastination is permitted, daresay even encouraged. There is nothing to do outside. The coming week will be prep for Spring Fling. So I am striving for all the R&R that I can get. A busy week is coming.
Chorded out Al Stewart’s On the Border. I take it down a full step from the original, much easier to play and sing.
It’s the 9th anniversary of MOADB (mother of all dust bunnies) aboard the ISS. 4/20/15
