I’ve got to go out there in the back and figure out why our UV filter light is blinking on and off, whether it’s badly seated or its the ballast. And I’ve got to haul out the pond vac again and get the algae out. Sigh. Yesterday no matter what I did, I got wet. I’d change clothes, something else would come up and I’d get wet again. If it wasn’t the pond it was the leak in the sprinkling system. 2 Aleve overnight and I can move without pain. Yesterday I couldn’t stay still without pain.<\/p>\n
We found a real good sub for hamburgers: a black-bean-chipotle veggie burger from Costco. Tastes like a chili sandwich. Pickles and mayo and you’ve got supper.<\/p>\n
Time to put on the really skungy old sneakers and go out there and battle the pond. We have had far more wind this season than ordinary…and that makes it chill.<\/p>\n
But the temperatures are forecast to be up to, oh, 40 at night and near 70 during the day.<\/p>\n
For those of you in areas affected by El Nino, the latest NOAA advisory says the current El Nino is ending. For the Pacific NW, an El Nino means a drought during winter, cold, but no snow, and a lingeringly cold and treacherous spring with rain coming in off the Alaskan gulf. A La Nina means a snowy winter and a lovely spring, warming decisively and behaving itself.<\/p>\n
So I’m hoping we don’t just get a trough between El Ninos, but a switch to a La Nina event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
