Out for my walk in a bit. Couple of things to do today. I hope I can beat the rain back.

Well, someone or possibly 2 people decided to throw pepper spray around the local mall. I was in a store and have really no idea what happened outside of what the Walmart greeter told me when I asked her.

Finished the two boards for the entryway table and put the legs on. I won't put anything on it for about a week until it cures, but it looks fantastic.

I didn't finish the piece of furniture I was working on. I still need the 2nd coat on the 2nd color, but it looks really cute.

I'll post some pictures when I get it finished.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

Out for my walk on a dry day. Need to get the rest of my meds and do some grocery shopping.

Rain, rain, and more rain here.

I'd retrieve my rain gage and measur the latest rainfall, but I don't want to go out in the rain! It's been a crazy wet season so far. According to LADWP rain gage monitors, we're pretty much at our season total.

Last rainstorm I took a detour on my way home from the doctor's to sneak a peak at the lower San Gabriel River.

Now, the San Gabriel is a bit of interesting engineering. It has a total of seven small dams across it, and several major recharge basins that fill up when it rains and allow water to percolate into our major aquifers. (They did this after screwing up the LA River's recharge capacity.) Usually water never flows to the lowest dam, but last time around it was not only at the lowest dam, it was running over it. If I were to check the lower dam now, I'm sure water would be pouring over.

The weather in my area for today is almost Spring like. Not cold at all. Sitting at 11C which is 52F.

Rest of meds got and groceries done. Just needed some supper for tonight and a couple of more nights. Got a nice small portion of stew beef along with some potatoes and brussels for my supper.

That sounds tasty! I think I'm putting beef stew on the menu!

I accidentally kicked a chair leg this AM. Put an ice pack on it bc it's REALLY sore. But I took to the dog out for a short walk, and retrievd my "rain gage", which measured almost 2 1/2" from this last storm. We had two flashes of lightning last night. I always count out the seconds to see how far away it was. Well,one flash was REALLY bright, and I got as far as "One and..." and then "BOOOOOM"! It was really close!

I try to change up my menu. Get tired eating chicken as I just finished some last night.

Been seeing on the news about the battering California has been taking over the last week.

This is but a reprieve for us in BC then it will be back to rain for the end of the week.

Our main problem right now is with the warmer temperatures the snow pack in the back country is highly unstable and Environment Canada is warning people to be careful in the back country as avalanche risk is very high.

Oh yeah, avalanches. Sis lived in Colorado for a while. I went to visit, and they're a real hazard!
