3-4 Days Out Protocol

Published on by

With regard to a possible developing tropical system near the north central Gulf coast by late this week, based on the ECENS and GEFS, it currently appears most probable that it will migrate into the northwestern Gulf coast vicinity by this weekend, before weakening inland of coastal areas. The track of any lingering remnants becomes more unclear thereafter, with sizable spread evident in the model output. Regardless, probabilities for anything more than an isolated tornado/localized strong surface gust threat with associated convection still seem low. ..Kerr.. 07/09/2019

We’ll see. The models are quite different, as is the information coming from the various NWS centers around. Still, I have implemented the better safe than sorry protocol. Most importantly, I’ll tidy up the Bunkhouse a bit. Should we loose power that will be the only space with A/C.

Which reminds me– those idiots, imbeciles, and morons that yearly come up with the most ignorant stuff to say about air conditioning are welcome to come work on the Farm in July and August. I’ve got plenty for them to do. In fact, I could give each of them a shotgun and have them stand guard over the tomatoes from 7pm to 7am when it’s *only* 72 degrees and the dew point is 72. One-hundred percent humidity with a mosquito here and there. Fun times. We’ll see what they have to say about one of the greatest inventions of all time then. Idiots.

Back to it. It’s Marica cooks Tuesday! Zucchini Quiche.

  1. Deer don’t eat the zucchini plants?
    That’s interesting….
    Goats tend to eat the same stuff deer eat….if deer don’t eat the zucchini, that would mean I’d have more planting space available. Although…hearing about your surplus, that might not be such a great benefit!

    1. Did I say zucchini? They haven’t eaten the sweet potatoes. I’ve never had them eat squash plants, but sometimes they will eat winter squash.

  2. Well…starting over a bit. From what you said, I assumed that they ate the entire tomato plants. In your response to jobeth, you clarified that they ate the “fruit” (hard to think of tomatoes as fruit), but not the plant. My response was with the assumption that they ate the whole thing, but apparently didn’t eat your zucchini plants. Obviously, they were pickier than I would have expected! And they didn’t eat the foliage…that’s a bit surprising. Just the “good” stuff.
    Further study required!
    As usual.

    1. Here’s the thing I have not made clear. The tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and sweet potatoes are in a separate garden space up by the shop. It’s fenced in with one exterior wall of the shop. Jordan used that graduated sort of fencing– small holes on the bottom than larger as you go around, and he then strung another wire on about 12″ higher. Between the top of the fence and the wire I ran random vertical lines of fishing line b/c it’s sposed to scare them or something. Not.

      The sqush and beans and cukes are by the bunkhouse, also fenced in but only sort of.

      It rained yesterday so I can see the tracks sort of.

      I’ve got to get an SD card for the trail cam. Prob is I don’t know if anyone in town sells them.

      Like I said, I’m stopping at the feed store later get get wolf urine or something!

  3. ebay!
    Well…unless you have an Office Depot, or Frys, or some such available. Course, you _do_ need to know the specs of the product you’re looking for, but you better know that anyhow. Still…it’s good if you have a local source – pick it up _today_, return it _tomorrow_ if you need to. Besides … maybe a clerk who knows enough to make sure you get the right thing.
    But I _do_ like ebay…!

    1. I have used eBay maybe three times. Although I use Amazon a lot, if I can get it locally I prefer to do that. FYI no one in town has SD cards. Not even Fred’s Your Hometown Discount Store. But– horder that I am, I found an old USB cable for the camera.

    1. I have a plastic tub in the Bunkhouse with all sorts of obsolete electronic cables &c. Even those little phone line splitters! Organized by kind, too. From time to time I’ll come upon a project of devise I want to use. I’m sure you can still get the stuff on eBay (!) but for me, it’s like having my own little Radio Shack! What if…?
