Morning Mark - doesn't look flooded! That's always good.

Had the same view of one in Austin last week. No chance for a shot. Rivian is a neat truck, the big question is if they can stay in business! Supply, stock market, auto companies buying in and out.... Four Wheeler took one up through the Colorado mountains last year, and were very impressed. Hope they can stay in the market.

Good Morning SA! A very nice 0.77" all morning and afternoon. People JUST East of us got 3"+! I'll still take it. Haircut, errands, and maybe if it's not raining I will finish that pipe.

 

Good morning fellas. It looks like we are getting all the rain we missed out on over the summer in a 4 week span!

 

It seems that way, funny I drive all the way out here and it’s raining

It’s all good, the place needs it. Sure is green out this way

 

Amaz0n has 18% stake in Rivian, Jeff Bozos wants to be a car manufacturer like Elon Mutt.

 

Mostly, they want an electric delivery fleet!

 

The green push for all these electrical cars and trucks is BS.

Does anyone thinks our electrical grid and infrastructure can handle millions of cars charging??? but yet it can't keep up with demand during really hot or cold periods.

 

Maybe someone should fix the grid?

 

But the gov does not work that way, only react to a problem never plan ahead.

 

Kinda like this... prefect example.

Yep

 

Morning crew

Staying away from electric for now. Infrastructure is not there and too many unknowns, I get it, you have to start somewhere but pushing it down everyone's throats is BS. I'll buy a hybrid before anything else.....anyways enough about that, let's have a good day gents

 

We're 20 years behind on new power production plants in the U.S.

I was an environmental scientist for the government, I preformed many NEPA actions for the DoD to gain appoval to clear off tens of thousands of acres for solar arrays, wind farms, biomass generators etc. and there is a reason why DoD pushed for their own grid system to disconnect from public power utilities if needed.

Everyone tells us how bad carbon monoxide is, what about all that deforestation, destruction of the lands and the hot spots it creates and critters go where?

3,500 acres are being cleared a couple miles north of my farm, you guys don't need oxygen to breathe or beef to eat, and best part it's all owned by a foreign fucking company who was eligible for the 20% U.S. tax breaks. By golly you might be able to charge that car and chew on them cords.

 

5G is the real problem, it will make you crazy!!

 

If you have interest in dove hunting, let me know. There is no cost other than your pride when you miss that shot! Just get with me on possible dates and I'll look at my calendar.
90min South of SA, overnight stays is possible but that will have TBD based on availability/vacancy.

Nice. AC Cab FTW!

A similar loader was on a 18Wheeler headed opposite direction today, damn that trailer was swaying, I thought for a minute the loaded and trailer was gonna flip over into my lane!!

During a Flex Alert, consumers are urged to reduce their energy use from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., hours when the grid is most stressed because of high demand and less available energy from solar panels.

Now, this is just too darn typical!



Well, after giving me the proverbial finger, THIS blob produced 1.7" in 1.5 hour. Still rumbling away!

 

Are sure that wasn't tea bagging you?
Glad ya got some rain Kurt!
