WCEC saying 13 meters down. I'm guessing I won't have power for a while if they can't get fixed before landfall


Thanks. Good luck to y'all.

just in case you do not make it, you should go ahead and slather yourself with BBQ sauce so that Chester has something good to snack on until he is rescued.


Chester prefers peanut butter

Wifey has been talking for the last ten minutes to her favorite cousin, who happens to live very near El Campo.
Cuz says she has a generator but failed to board up windows.
She talks so fast, it may have added to the wind speed by now.

Trees get in the line or say a squirrel then the Line Fuse is a one shot device. The Fuse melts and trips out the line/customers that are feed by that Line Fuse. This is what is known as a temporary fault. 90% of the faults on distribution system are temporary faults.

Now if the utility wants to increase their reliability and negate temporary faults then they can install electric devices like Reclosers. What those devices do is they are set to couple of operations say like 3 operations and open up on the 4th operation if still senses fault current.

The 3 operations are to clear any temporary fault and power stays on. You will see the blinks with is the device working to clear the temporary fault. So if it does open on the 4th operation then it's a permanent fault which means you have conductor down, pole down ie something major.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the last hour or so, its moving NE not NW. To early to tell if it will wobble back, but its made a significant move to the NE in the last 90 minutes.

Eye wall is now completely to the east of the forecasted projected center. Next hour or so and we should have a lot better idea as to the strength of that movement. Its headed right for Galveston atm.

Can we count this as the first cold front of the year? Told the wife, the AC is going on 65 tonight.

Pork steak, deer sausage, corn, white potatoes, cabbage.

I've probably rattled your windows a few times over the years, I'm down there quite a bit helping the crop duster by the cotton gin.

First time making it. I browned it then hit it with the pressure cooker because I was in a hurry. Most stuff like this i do in a cast iron pot. Brown on stove then put pot in oven. Time and temp depends on cut. Then pull out, add veggies, and cook some more. But yes, basically just a stew.

That looks very good. Do you put liquid in cast iron with pork in oven? If so just water? Or broth?

Yes on liquid. Good fatty pork or beef you can get away with water. Of course broth or stock is better. Easiest is water and bouillon cubes until you have enough salt. Cook a lot of deer the same way.

Anything from 350-450 depending on the cut of meat and how much of a hurry you're in. A good pot makes a huge difference. Crappy pot will boil all the water out while slow to cook. Good one will break down tough meat when you turn the heat to it.
