Some Storms moving in

Gasifier , it looks like we're to the east of this first wave.

We have some big boomers going on at the moment, some nice bolts also flashing around.

 

We have had some lightening in the distance. I actually went out for a bike ride tonight. About 4 miles into my parents house. Quick visit and then turn around and get back home before it gets too dark. Saw several good bolts that I was glad was off in the distance!

 

We got an inch of rain in about 20 minutes!

 

We are heading up to Boonville on Friday for the Woodsman show, hoping for good weather.

 

That sounds like fun. We have some family/company coming in over this weekend Thurs.-Sun. so won't be traveling to anything. They are driving far enough. I have not been up to the Woodsman's Days in Saranac Lake in many years. Need to go to that sometime again.

 

Oh, I didn't know they had one there, I'll have to look into that. It's a great drive up to Saranac lake. I think Tupper Lake may have one also.

 

It went west and north of us.

It may be Tupper and I was thinking the wrong place. Somewhere up in dem dar hills.

 

Upper Tupper!

 

Isn't that the place where they used to make plastic dishes....................?...

 

That's right! I remember a movie once where they talked about a legendary mountain man, forgot his name .... What was it...? ZAP..... or something like that. I don't know. There was a guy in the movie that said, "These mountains, there for crazy people, and Backwoods Savage s!" I think the movie was Jeremiah Johnson! I don't know. I have C.R.S. sometimes. I HAVE to watch that movie again.

 

I often have optical rectalitis, it that the same thing????????????????..............

 

Is this the stuff that's coming this way for Thursday?

 

Yup...............

 

It must be Backwoods Savage s turn tomorrow for this storm.
Hang on Hanna, it could get rough!

 

We just got poured on here! Thought I was done for the day while it was pouring. 10 minutes and it's done for now. Sun is out strong. Time to go back out and do a little more trimming up. Pole saw is running nicely and I don't have to put those hot chaps on with it.

 

Not to far from thewoodlands and I they had a Microburst. Took down some trees, took off a few roofs. Potsdam, NY Luckily, no one hurt.
