We have somehow made it to the middle of August already! This time last year, we were dealing with a major heatwave—this year, it’s been weird weather; we had some crazy thunderstorms roll through for about four hours on Saturday, which was expected based on the forecast so we were ready. And we were surprised since thunderstorms in the Pacific Northwest are a rarity.
Then Sunday, the sun was shining brightly, it was a bit humid (which is unusual for this area of the country, it’s rarely humid), then boom! The wind picked up suddenly, and we unexpectedly had another major thunderstorm roll through Sunday afternoon that knocked power out for 4+ hours—some parts of our county didn’t get their power back until late yesterday (Monday). It was cray-cray!
I guess I must still be young and full of hope because I did not “feel” that storm on Sunday coming!
Update on the hubby – he was off work all last week and spent 95% of the time sleeping upstairs or lounging around in his recliner, feeling like crap and wondering when he’d finally feel better. Thankfully, he ‘turned a corner’ by Friday-ish and was able to go do his gig on Sunday.
He had already decided to sit out Saturday night’s gig since he didn’t get to practice with the guys, wasn’t sure how he’d be feeling by then, and if he felt OK, didn’t want a relapse. Boy, was he glad he did sit it out—those aforementioned thunderstorms really wreaked havoc on that event, and the rest of the band members ended up having all their equipment get rained on, even though they were under a cover. The rain was going sideways, so all bets were off. Everything of course shut down, and they didn’t even get to play one note. Poor guys!
Hopefully, their equipment will dry out and not have any long-term issues. Water and electronics just do not mix! Let’s jump into the funnies—I forgot to post this last week; it’s better late than never! This cracked me up:

Heeheehee! Great fun, I enjoy reading here so much. I hope your sweetheart is over his illness totally, although we know they milk it for all it’s worth.
I’m old enough to tell when a storm is coming! And the part about the arm and whether you can use it the next day? True! Great funnies!
