Nurse Dave's Journal

[Scuttlesoap]

Glad the storm was not a severe as expected and everyone is ok!

 

[GearNoir]

Glad the storm didn’t do you so bad either! Looked like it was going to be pretty hairy there for a minute.

I spent two years in the Bay Area and never knew that. It's very common around here. Watching a thunder and lightning storm is very relaxing, if it's far enough off.

 

[NurseDave]

I would love to get it more. The rest of the family doesn't dig it. Probably because they didn't grow up with it.

 

[Graybeard57]

Sitting on our covered patio during a rainstorm is a nice way to spend a summer evening, provided you are stocked with libations and cigars.

 

[Majorrich]

I think I've always found the sounds of a thunderstorm soothing when I am warm and dry. not as much when I'm out in it.

Coming soon to a theatre and streaming service near you....

 

[BarberDave]

For @ME2Shaves the morning started with 25g of Nurse Dave’s Shaving World Breakfast Blend which is a Brazil Sweet Yellow bean from Daterra Estate roasted to a medium level. Ground in a Fellow Ode set to 3.1 then brewed in a V60 with 400g of 208 degree water.

 

[Scuttlesoap]

I think that smoky peat has finally deadened your sense of smell

 

[NurseDave]

Ya well….WELL!!!….I’ll think of something!!!

 

[heysi]

I think a lot of people would be terrified of our thunderstorms, haboobs and monsoons. Desert weather is no joke.

 

[BarberDave]

But so much fun

 

[Graybeard57]

My family and I took a southwest vacation years ago. Flew to San Antonio, rented a car, then proceeded to drive to San Diego. Along the way we went to Carlsbad Cavern, White Sands, Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, the meteorite site, Las Vegas, then San Diego for a few days. We drove a little more than 3000 miles as we made our way to the west coast. As we traversed NM, NV, and southern CA we experienced and/or witnessed torrential downpours, thunder and lightning storms that were spectacular. Desert weather is certainly dramatic.

 

[MilkCrate]

That sounds like a sweet road trip.
