observations and posts about the weather.

bored on a saturday afternoon.

Current Mood:Bored emoticon Bored

It’s been a few weeks since I actually posted more than a link, or tweet. I don’t feel like writing a lot about anything important. So here is an update, and enjoy the pix.

Today is a gloomy day in Sierra Vista. The weather report online says it should rain later, which is cool. It didn’t seem to rain much for our monsoon season this year.

I’ve spent the last hour or so finishing up watching a really cool DVD I started watching a week ago, called Walt Disney’s Tomarrowland. It has some really great old school Disney animation, and effects. I’ve really enjoyed the first 2 of 3 episodes on this disc.

My dad went to go see his College team play. So today I’m pretty bored and alone, and the dog is mopping around the house too. Coming out to the living room whenever there is a noise outside.

I’m kinda getting hungry so maybe I’ll go get something to eat later if I can decide on somewhere to eat. It’s amazingly difficult to choose where to eat in a city this small. I don’t know if that’s saying a whole lot for the choices around, but more or less where do I feel less disgusted eating at. Thinking of food, man-o-man was the food at Neil’s wedding good and tasty. This makes me wish there were more ethnic food places locally to patronize. Cheap mexican food is likely on the menu again tonight.

An observation I’m having right now…

There is a flat bed tow truck across the street, it just pulled a car out of the garage. The thing is, the garage is like 3 feet raised above the street level, and the driveway is short, so the angle is like 30-40 degrees. It’s been interesting to watch for the last 10 minutes. Had I thought more about the flat bed truck, I would have made a video with my camera.

Ah, I know what else I can write about. I got a new phone when I was in California at the end of August. After just under 3 weeks with it, I finally decided it was not worth another 2 year contract to me. The Nokia 6085, just did not like my mp3 collection, and the quality of the camera phone was foul at best. I did manage to capture a couple nice pictures on the ride home from California though. I need to figure out the html code, or whatnot to get the pictures and text to line up better.

(weird?) weather

So about an hour ago, it started raining.  It’s stopped as of this moment, but it could start again.  As the temperature drops, now 36F outside, it could snow or possibly hail.

It’s really cold outside with the gusty wind we’ve been having lately.   I think it would be slightly odd that it could snow 1/2 way through April in Arizona.  Shrug.

i’m bored and it is raining so here’s a post.

It’s been kinda cloudy and threatening to rain the past couple days. Last night in the early hours it rained nice and hard. It started raining pretty heavy again about a half-hour ago. Negative doesn’t care for the thunder that roars after a good lightning bolt. Poor guy, he’s cuddled up on my feet at the moment. Wow, it’s raining hard. Personally, I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere today. My dad on the other hand is likely having to drive home through weather from Tempe, which is at least 2 hours away from my knowledge.

The Red/Orange is heavier rain. Green is just rain. I was just going to take a picture outside, but decided to use a radar image from weather.com.

boredom, let’s write about…

I got my PayPal security key today. My PayPal and eBay accounts are now more secure I believe, not that I use either of them often, if only rarely. But if I ever lose the FOB I will be SOL for at least a week, and of course probably have to deal with customer service which no one likes to do. If you use either service regularly i would suggest getting it for that extra bit of satisfaction with security. I got mine for free because years ago I made my PayPal account business level, but they are only $5 for everyone else. Although I think they should be free for all the users.

I wish i had stereo vision like a raptor, or fly for that matter. sorry watching a thing on PBS, nature: raptor force.

oh yeah, I saw this cool background, I just had to save. Set this as your background on a page, or desktop and stare for hours. :)

Also it rained yesterday pretty hard for about 5 minutes around 5:30 pm, and then again later once the sun set. Today the weather has been beautiful, clear, and kind of warm.

Today for lunch I had my favorite sandwich from Debbie’s Deli. MMmmm, Rob’s Reuben. Hot corned beef, sour kraut, sourdough bread, and thousand island dressing. It’s sooo good, best sandwich in town, hands down. This should have been written in a microformat so search engines pick it up, but ohwell.

brrr it’s cold outside

ok, so i really got used to being able to smoke outside, and not freeze, or shiver constantly while in california this past week.
it’s 37 degrees F outside right now.

it’s snowing #2

At the time it was snowing pretty nicely so I got my camera out for a few moments.

It's really cold today, and we happened to have some clouds, so we got snow.

snow!

After my weekly massage this morning, I looked outside the office, and what did I see, but little snow flakes falling, and melting on impact with the earth, cars, or people. At first I thought it was just my eyes, because after a good massage I am a little blurry.
I sat there fascinated, enjoying the effects for a brief moment.
Then off to eat lunch at the mall we went. The view of the mountains was broken by the ominous dark snow cloud heading this direction.
A trip up to my chiropractor on the other side of town being at a slightly higher elevation, and next thing you know, I’m in a flurry.
Still nothing is really staying on the ground, but it looks pretty.
There was quite a bit more snow happening on the way back down Fry blvd. Heavier than before it was actually staying on the hood and windshield of my CRV for a few minutes.

Oi, it’s cold, and I feel it in my body. It kinda sucks, but I’m trying to enjoy the fact that it snowed while I was outside, which well never really happened in Huntington Beach where I’m from.

rainy 4th

Well, it just started raining here, pretty good about 20 minutes ago. So much for seeing any fireworks tonight. But of course there is plenty lightning to see, and thunder to hear.
