Monsoon?

Recommended Posts

Been working on my deck all summer, it's been  NOT fun with the weather, either way to hot in the sun or rain.. The last two days were amazing and I was able to get the Trex Rainescape finsihed. Took today to get the siding back on after looking at the forecast and started a couple deck boards. Just in time.

Aren’t those the ankle impailers? Even in the hands of law abiding citizens they are dangerous?

I put down some grass seed on some bare spots.  I figured if It's going to rain for several days or weeks in a row I may as well rake advantage of it!

I also sprayed a bunch of weeds 1.5 hours before we had a quick five minute thunderstorm.  I remember reading It's supposed to be rainproof "in about an hour".

Fingers crossed that the weeds die and the grass seed grows! And no, I didn't spray in the area I put down seed.

Yep, this really puts a wrench in the works.  I've been helping a disabled Vietnam vet paint his house and we've not had many safe days where I was free to work. 

Very nice of you.

The weather is crazy everywhere.  I ran into a Monsoon yesterday by I95 and International Golf Parkway in St Johns FL, it was coming down so heavy I waited almost a half hour to head home.  When I got home which is only 30 minutes north west of there it was dry and my wife said it never even looked like rain.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
