Monsoon?

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.

Florida is always like this, especially the closer you get to the ocean. I have had rain in my front yard while nice and sunny on my pool side

Just had the worst storm I ever saw. Winds over 70mph, rain, hail, dust. Lost a tree. Still happening.

 

Me: Closed blinds. Turned music up loud. Hugging dog. Sitting in corner. Shaking. The end is near. Pray for me. LOL

 

ETA: This was less than one mile from me.

If it is just a tree & some Cacti - you made out well..............

Yes I did. The wind took down 4 High Power line standards, and destroyed 2 houses. Driving in to the shop, I guestimated about half of the neighborhood trees are down. This will take the rest of the summer to repair.

I just got back from the OBX. When we showed up last week the realor said we would have to drive through some water to get to the house. We rented up the beach in Corolla, so we all had 4x4 Jeeps and trucks. We thought.. what's a little water? Well... A little water turned out to be about 4 feet deep behind the dunes and surrounded probably 2 blocks of houses. 

We made it to the house, nothing my Jeep hasn't seen before off roading, but turned out it was all shit water, and the beaches had no swimming. The well water was contaminated.. we got a full refund and found another house down in kill devil hills... Even that one was surrounded by water, at least it was road accessible and drained after a day. 

Disaster averted! Trip wound up being pretty good after a literal shit Strom.

I thought it was in the bathtub with the mattress over you?

 

No bathtubs in school dude.

And seriously? Who has an 800+Page US History book to open up in the middle, and cover their head? At there home?

^ No - this is the NJ compliant model, the shaft is pinned.

It's the BLACK ones that are the Evil Umbrellas..............

Check with the NJSP. It still folds. It does have a semi auto deployment lever correct?

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
