It's coming in for the next 3 days here

cool and wet
We’ve been getting hosed in Austin lately. I think it’s finally breaking, but we got 20 inches of rain over the last 4-5 weeks. Way above the norm. We usually only get around 25-30 inches total for a whole year. We were in a drought, so I guess it’s good in that regard. But it’s really been fucking up my work and mountain biking schedules.

Look what popped up on my security feed. She must know my work schedule because there's no way she struts around like that in the open when I'm home or she'd be dinner.

The cicada invasion is finally on the decline. They are still making a racket, but not so much that i need to wear earplugs.

Now the thousands upon thousands of dead, rotting bug corpses are stinking everything up. Need a damn good rain to wash their guts into the soil. They really stink something awful.

Same reason they know to fuck off on the opening morning of turkey season and to return the day after the season ends. Calendars.
I have a barn calendar in my garage and a wildlife calendar in my office.

What kind of calendar do turkeys have?

I’m down on the coast on North Padre Island (Gulf of M) for the week. A big storm is out over the water a little farther away from us, so we’ve got a lot of wind/rain and some white capping waves which are heavier than normal. Tried to take a pic, but it kind of sucks. It was dark so I had to crank up the brightness to see anything. It was a nice walk on the beach with a drink and a cigar though ?

Going over to see a buddies new cabin this weekend.. Cabin on a small island, no frills. Electricity and a small water tank, compostable toilet, pack off all garbage.

Anyone have any suggestions for a must have tool/accessory/toy gift for the cabin?

If we have a good time, we might consider buying a lot or cabin over there.
