We knowed what that the storm was a comin around Satidy afternoon so I figured I'd spend the mornin on the tractor hacking down the weeds out in the lower pasture that have been really getting high. It was a great morning for it. There was a nice breeze and a lower temperature. I got several acres mowed.
Sterling got to go to his first B-day party at a friend's house in Leonard. He had a blast.
The rain started around noon and steadily increased up until around 3 or 4 or so where it peaked and dropped down a bit. The winds were pretty good and I think they must have peaked in the night. It definitely was not the worst storm we have had out here. The worse this one did was blow a lawnchair into the pool. Oh yeah, and our mailbox pole bit the dust. I am not sure if that was the storm or vandals or what, but it looks like there is going to be a need to go borrow the neighbors PTO-operated post hole digger to make a better hole and plant a better post for the mailbox.
Overall, I'd say it was a very pleasant storm. In fact, I was out riding around in the rain yesterday on the motor bike in the full-on bn rain and was very comfortable. You know, ever since seeing Michael Douglas walking around in the downpour out of Cartegena (Romancing the Stone,) I have always liked the idea of warm rain.
Today, the post-storm weather is nice and cool with a light breeze, and clear skies. We actually have our windows open today.

And did Michael Douglas make that life-long impression on you when you watched the movie on that video-disc thing we had?
I vaguely remember what you are talking about, but couldn't say for sure if the impression was made while watching that thing. I have seen the movie several times - it's a classic eh?
