Just Unbelievable - more rain here in Buda - In the past 72 hours we've gotten 4.6 more inches of rain. This means we are now at 33 inches for the year. We are 110 percent of normal and the strong Nino is only just starting to clear its throat. Just wait til autumnal frontal structures start interacting with tropical features in Sept/Oct. With the jet so far south, we'll get so much rain we will need arks.

West of us near Hondo they have been getting much more than us, three nights in a row, more than 10 inches some nights! That place is Waterworld!

Lawn mower is getting workouts on the regular, in a place where we usually have 103 degrees, hot sun and dust and brown grasses.

Not this year. I am gonnabe weeding that dreaded front flowerbed til my fingers fall off. HUGE water puddles are everywhere! Onion Creek has so much water! In July!

July has been the wettest month of the year for the eastern 1/2 of countrsince 2017.

Argentina has gotten way too many beneficiaL calls. Let’s go Spain

Both Spain and Argentina are the most obnoxious Spanish speaking countries on the planet - but they are both pretty awesome places to visit.  It's tough.  BA is an incredible, incredible city.  Patagonia, Mendoza, the wine, the Andes mountains.  But in Spain you have Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, just tons of beautiful cities.  The food in both places is so so good.  Both populations think they are they are God's gift to the world.  It's a tough call.

The Os just went into Houston and swept the stros out of the break. Damn. Dont give me hope.

I would feel a little bit better if the Red Sox hadn't suddenly awoken and won 12 in a row. That said the AL is so pathetic the Os can stay in the hunt as long as they keep pushing towards and then past 500. I honestly don't think they can though. Too many holes. Ofc Elias will try to fill them in an attempt to save his skin, and will likely set this team back even further. He is a gaslighting turd.

Just don’t get swept in Boston and 4-2 to start the second half is great. But they have a tough schedule the rest of the way. They’ll have to earn it, even with the soft AL.

Some key injuries aren't helping an already precarious situation. Both catchers are having health issues and ofc Blaze is out for an extended period. The pitching has been solid lately so lets see if that continues. Fun to watch Mayo bash long homeruns whenever a pitcher makes a mistake, but otherwise he is an easy out lol. He will probably hit 20 HRs with a batting avg of .195 because there are so many shitty pitchers.

Not giving me hope in the slightest...we know who this team is--and there has been a good deal of luck involved (especially yesterday and Friday( I did not see enough to convince me they're suddenly getting better. And not ot mention we may need to play Boston with Adley and Basallo less than 100% if available, smh This team cannot have good things--everytime something good happens, some negative (typically in the form of an injury) has to happen. 7-game winning streak, extended Bradish...then boom catching duo both injured. That bad "luck" element I put on Elias...I don’t think that will change until he's outta here, lol

I hope that TD2 now in the Gulf of Mexico tracks west right into south central Texas then gets stuck about 40 miles SW of Buda, then proceeds to pull in feeder bands of torrential training rains in off the Gulf for days. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER HARDLY ANY MEANINGFUL GROUND DRYING WILL HAVE A CHANCE! Already, I have seen water catchment depressions carrying water all over the landscape!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah baby! We are going to have a BIG year for lots of rains in Texas!!!!

I am a SICK PUP. But I crave a 50 degree Celsius El Nino.

It's starting!

If you want to kayak, I would recommend trap pond or killens pond, both state parks. Killens also has a small water park that is actually very nice with a just redone pool. Admission is like $12

So we did Trap pond. Saw that we could do a tour through the Bald Head Cypresses. Mr. J is quite fair skinned and it worked good for shaded waterways. But also seeing the Cypress up here was lovely! Even saw a beaver up close.

too cool! Trap pond is excellent for that type of sightseeing. I believe it is also the furthest north occurrence of cypress trees. I think we are pretty lucky in the relative abundance of wildlife we still have in this area. I get to see deer in my park at least a few times a month, and there is a groundhog up the street, as well as multitudes of very bad squirrels and a diverse variety of bird.

Come ON, Bertha. Get nice and strong. Get overloaded with tons of tropical moisture from the Gulf. Move nice and slow, lumber along then make a beautiful landfall in Texas then come to rest southwest of Buda, about 40 miles away. Then pull those graceful, water-laden rainbands right over Buda, enable me to enjoy torrential ultra-efficient rainfall to pile up inches in a very short time over ground that has really not had time to dry out. Take your time weakening, and if you can, please pretty please pull a Harvey on us in Texas right over Buda!!!!!!!! This is a wonderful place for you to visit, Bertha, and you're VERY welcome here!

Come to papa......

I love El Nino with all my rain weenie heart!

As of 121am Texas time July 21, Bertha is disorganized. Most of the precip is south of the center of circulation. This puppy needs to be monitored. With any luck she will reach hurricane status and continue lumbering slowly westward toward Texas where I hope she will move in and take up a happy productive residence swirling around for a week about 40-50 miles southwest of Buda. We are parched and need more rain. I'd love it if Bertha would please spin me up some highly efficient tropical rainbands then train them right over the Austin/Buda Corridor for days on end. I'd love to see the Plum Creek rise right over Rt 1626 and 967. I'd walk down there with my old snow ruler and take water level readings, while blasting the latest Gen Z tracks on my headphones! Another thing I crave for is to get so much heavy efficient tropical rain, that all the water storage facilities scattered all over Buda and Kyle would get filled right to the brim, even overflowing and running down the streets! I'd definitely enjoy a truly EPIC jebwalk!
