There must be some huge hail in the storm near Hays.
Edit: 4 inches. JESUS.

This is just incredibly sad news.

Really strong onshore flow here at the moment. Wind advisory in effect and the wind is gusting to 40 occasionally.

Hurricanes will be more relevant to me than ever before.

Who to Cook:
Newly hatched cicadas, called tenerals, are considered best for eating because their shells have not hardened. It is best to collect these in the very early hours of the morning, just after they have emerged but before they have time to climb up out of reach. The best way to do this is to simply go outside with a brown paper bag and start scooping them in. You can cook with them immediately, or refrigerate them (they will remain alive but will mature much more slowly) or freeze them. Keep in mind that freezing will work best for those that you are going to roast, as the consistency of the cicada may change and make them inappropriate for dishes that call for fresh cicadas. If you are unable to get any tenerals, then mature females are the next best thing. Adult males have very hollow abdomens and will not be much of a mouthful, but the females are filled with fat. Just be sure to remove all the hard parts, such as wings and legs, before you use the adults. These parts will not harm you, but they are also not very tasty.
Soft-Shelled Cicadas Ingredients:
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
60 freshly emerged 17-year cicadas
4 eggs, beaten
3 cups flour
Salt and pepper to season the flour
1 cup corn oil or slightly salted butter
Directions: Marinate cicadas alive in a sealed container in Worcestershire sauce for several hours. (Note: You can skip this step and go directly to the egg step instead.) Dip them in the beaten egg, roll them in the seasoned flour and then gently sauté until they are golden brown.
Yield: 4 main dish servings
Bear Grylls approves.

It has been a pleasure. I will send pics when I arrive.

Here we go!
This look might have been interesting a month earlier.
The thing is, it will probably end up more muted as we get closer as there isn't much support for sustained blocking

By the way, if we get a -PNA in April, that will be a big time sign for next Dec-Feb (for -PNA).
Stop posting.

Ugh, sorry to hear. It's amazing how some muscles will roar to life and remind you that they don't want/care to be disturbed. I disassembled my wife's big-ass treadmill into two still-heavy chunks on Wednesday afternoon to move to and reassemble in another room in the house. Felt okay Wed night, but throughout yesterday and this morning, my arm and hamstring muscles have started screaming at me, "Don't even think about doing that again, cowboy."
Happened to me a lot when I first started lifting weights. Now I don't do it as much but I remember my whole leg being sore for at least 4 days after a leg workout. I discovered that it helps to do some light exercises then stretching after. Alleviates the pain some.
