After all this time with high heat, a little thing called Tropical Depression Hermine comes outta the Gulf of Mexico and hits NE Mexico yesterday.
So with this little storm comes the rains and winds and they hit this area pretty good. Loads of rain, winds of up to 35 miles/hour, tree branches broke off from trees (where else?) like matchsticks and in some cases trees uprooted.
And the biggest hazard or problem associated with this is the people out driving. For some reason the mentality is that once it starts to rain, people will drive faster which of course results in numerous accidents around the city and other areas.
And to top this all off, the head of the city postal service decried that the day after a holiday, all mail would be delivered within eight hours.
Typically that means A LOT of mail that has to be sorted into delivery order along with parcels and other bits that are part of the daily routine.
Now this, along with the weather, kamakazi drivers and trying to keep the mail along with ourselves dry makes that a little hard to do. But we do what we have to.
The job got done using extra time, though dryness didn't occur for some.
Just glad that the Bodgers stable of heaps are not in commision right now as riding in that sort of weather is a very good way of being certified as a loony. Like I need help in that department.

I wondered what that tropically induced weather might do to your heat spell. The prediction for around here, is snow down to 7500 feet in the Sierras... and looks like we might get some rain in the valley. Glad my 4 wheel vehicle is functioning, don't want to be out in the rain on a bike with the "crazies" out here. Sounds like you are making progress with Vicky. So the swingarm bushes are the metal/rubber type? I've never delved into that area on my Victor. Make bikes, while the sun shines less? Hairy Larry
ReplyDelete"Metalastic" I think that's they're called. Will interesting to try and replace them. Have heard that the easiest way is to burn them out. Getting th enew ones in should prove to be just as interesting....
