I had just finished posting last night's blog when I heard a series of bangs outside the RV. I immediately thought that one of the Herefords that were alongside the fence and on the road when we came back from our Costco trip had managed to get through the fence around the RV Resort. (We are in what is called an "Open Range" area which means you can just let your livestock wander. If you don't want them on your property, you have to fence them out.) We've seen cattle on the road the last couple of times we've gone into town.
But then, we saw some flashes of light and realized that what we were hearing was thunder. It was pretty noisy around here for a while. Then it started to rain, first a few drops hitting on the roof, then a downpour. I shut down the computer and disconnected it. We have a good inverter over on the power pole where we are plugged in and I have power strips to use inside, but I always figure it's easier not to take chances.
It rained hard for 15-20 minutes and then it was over. The funny part of it is that none of the weather or radar apps on our phones notified us, nor did they even mention the brief storm... This morning, except for a damp spot across the road, you would never know that it had rained. Except, that my geraniums didn't need any water today.
Forry got the battery charged on his new toy by this afternoon, so he used it to air up the tires on my trike. We adjusted the seat and the handle-bars, then I took it for a spin around the park. It's nice to have my wheels again. I think though, I'll have Forry ride the trike while I take my walks around the park.
