    Ac is good. Just flipped it back on.

    These things hit so hard water can stand still for a while. But were uphill so it runs down pretty fast. Across the street is all sand so it perks really good. Town is all pavement and concrete so nothing soaks in. That's why Phoenix has such a hard time. One thing Yuma has is a lot of flood basins. Gutters run to those and it perks in and/or evaporates. The basin down the street is probably 100'x200' and 10'-12' deep.

    I haven't washed the Jeep in a while so it needs the dust and dirt knocked off of it.

    I guess the worst part of these is you can get micro-bursts. They can have some really strong winds. Kinda like a mini tornado in size but enough force to rip off roofs, uproot trees. Had one blow over a bunch of empty train cars off the tracks in the dunes when I worked over there. That's kind of extreme but it can happen. I'm going to have to do a drive through assesment on roads and utilites in the campgrounds in the morning. Don't want to do them in the dark incase another storms rolls in behind this one and having something blow through a windshield. This isn't worth getting hurt or killed over.

    Morning.
    Another crap day to look forward to.
    Have another Prius that sat for two months.
    Outside
    Not in the city.
    Smells not so good.
    Drained the hv battery real low.
    No start.
    Have only a few start attempts left and then I’ll have to get the hv recharger out.
    Oh joy...

    Listening to your vehicle sat (fill in time) horror stories...the idea of snowbirding is now unthinkable to me.

    With all the soy base wiring in cars now you cannot let cars sit outside.
    They need to be in a garage with traps ( I have 6 in my garage )
    The inside spotless without food smells.
    You should see how much dog food and snacks are in cars.
    It’s a disaster waiting to happen....

    Good morning.
    Going to drag my feet this morning. Woke up to 2 more hits at 0200 and right before the alarm at 0400. Need to check roads and washes. See how many tent campers got blowed away.
