Random Thoughts 15: Crystal Clear 2021 Edition

Where’s the glass of red wine?

 

[BoxsterCy]

My wine infused running commentary on the The Force Awakens would likely annoy the heck out of Star War fans. Just sayin'. Wine infused me, however, is highly amused.

Dat last scene, though, pretty cool.

 

[BoxsterCy]

If I had some key lime pie I would totally be eating it right now.

Internet and cable out this morning. Prepped a couple racks of spare ribs for later. Guess I'll go walkabout now.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Still no internet or cable. Getting the ribs started.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

And then it starts raining. Glad the forecast was right.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Now it's freaking pouring

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Not in Ames, unless you count sweat dripping.

Honest to goodness real rain this morning. .50" at Crystal Airport and .87 at Mpls International. I'll split the difference and say a good plus 1/2" here at Boxster World. Woot! Woot!

This, and the additional rain forecast, will probably lead me to mowing the lawn. Still a record though, over two months.

I cried uncle. After rain & 3 hours of struggling to maintain a steady temp I pulled them, wrapped them and threw them in the oven.

I got a tenth you gloating bastards. Stop rubbing it in!

 

[do4CY]

What is this rain that you speak of

Deep enough to puddle on deck furniture cover and float wine corks.

Just Sayin'.

A 3 bottle day/night? No biking for you today.

 

[cmjh10]

Is 3.5 hours still considered a nap? Only good part about being sick I guess.

Going to build a wine cork raft for the monsoon season which coincides with the ISU home games this fall.

You'd be surprised how many people do not know what this sign means.

I've never seen one like that. I assume the left turn indicates there is some sort of pole or median type thing you need to drive around.

Roundabout. This sign is on an off ramp that leads into the roundabout. I guess maybe people think you don't usually turn left into one, which is why the go in the right lane.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

We've got a pretty severe storm brewing right now.
