Shouldn't be that way, but it is.

Nice little 3.5" rainstorm all day today through tomorrow morning, with another quarter inch or so tomorrow.
Shouldn't be anything to worry about. Hopefully. Not a huge chance for thunderstorms, and wind only around 13mph max.

Had a 3.6 earthquake this AM, near East Los Angeles. On the west side of LA county, like the last one near Carson.
Hmmm

Time now for me to figure out how to write a synopsis and get back on the trying to find a publisher horse. Fun. Not. Just because I suck at trying to write such things.

Yeah... Gotta find that balance.
Despite the fact I completely wasted a bright sunny day yesterday, I got done what I wanted to do this weekend.
I built a detached set of two stairs to go up to the new porch door out of all of that scrap pressure-treated lumber I bought eons ago before the wood prices skyrocketed.
Nothing overtly fancy, and no hand rails on it (at least for now), but it's built like a brick shithouse.
It's so nice being able to walk into the house like a normal person again and not rely on a precariously placed cinder block.
It's a miracle that nobody ever broke their ankle on that thing. It's been the way in the back for over 2 years now until today.
The price was right. I only used 7 of the 14 various boards I'd bought to build it, and one 8ft pressure-treated 1"x8" that I got from a neighbor years ago when they were throwing away wood (I used that for the "face" of the steps). Combined with using most of the long screws out of a 200pc. wood screw kit I bought on sale for $3, I don't think this cost more than about $16 and around 4 hours of my time planning and building.
I will have to do some fine-tuning on the height on both sides and haven't decided how I want to make the feet yet. If I use green 4x4, I've already got enough to do it. I might go metal though.
But it's staying out there as it is this winter. It should be fine.

First time I've heard the sump pump go off in a while, but everything seems to be operating as intended. I love that cheap little camera I've got down there. I haven't even used it in about 4 months and it fired right up when I logged into it and pulled it up on my TV to watch.
Thunderstorms for a few hours last night, but the power didn't go out.
2.75 inches in the last 24 hours around here with another half inch on the way today. Nothing monstrous compared to the history around here, but we have had some pretty regular rains with low temps so the ground was fairly saturated going into it.
It was nice having a rain season that wasn't 2 to 3 times the average rainfall for once.
