..SO..IM CRACKING OPEN MY 2ND..EVEN HARDER KUMM BOOT CHUH
NOW..I'VE GOT A NICE GOAT CHEESE GOIN...SOME SALMON FOR LATER...IM POSTING AGAIN FROM A HOTEL LOBBY ON THE COMPUTER
IM NOT A GUEST ..AS USUAL..THE ILLEGALS ARE MAKING NOISE WITH THE VACUUM AROUND ME..I SMELL A ROSE SCENTED CARPET CLEANER...ALL IS GOOD.

I SEE VERY LITTLE TIDAL ACTION TO PUMP UP THE QUAKE ACTION.
WE GOT ONE LOW TIDE COMING BUT, IT'S NOT EXTREME ENOUGH.

Me too. That's a pretty big one too with not a lot of decomposition yet

Might not need the tides. We've got oarfish, full moon, planetary alignments, TEC doom, an active-ish sunspot...

SIGNS OF LIFE FROM SOLAR CYCLE 25: This weekend, the biggest sunspot of new Solar Cycle 25 (so far) is turning toward Earth. AR2765 is inset in this magnetic map of the sun’s surface from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory: [link to spaceweather.com (secure)]

We know AR2567 is a member of Solar Cycle 25 because of its magnetic polarity. According to Hale's Law, sunspots switch polarities from one solar cycle to the next. Southern sunspots from old Solar Cycle 24 have a -/+ polarity. This sunspot is the opposite: +/-, marking it as a member of Solar Cycle 25.
The primary dark core of AR2765 is about as wide as Earth, with two satellite sunspots closer in size to the Moon. A frothy wake of magnetic turbulence stretches 70,000 miles behind the trio. These dimensions make the sunspot group an easy target for backyard solar telescopes.

The sun is still in the pits of a century-class Solar Minimum. The appearance of AR2765 suggests that it won't last forever. Solar Cycle 25 has been showing signs of life all year long, with 82% of all sunspots in 2020 having the magnetic polarity of the new cycle. What's next? Solar flares?

DAYTIME METEOR SHOWER: This weekend, step outside under the bright blue sky and feel the warmth of the sun overhead. Would you believe, there's a meteor shower underway? Earth is passing through a stream of debris from an unknown comet, source of the annual Arietid meteor shower. It is active during broad daylight. As many as 60 meteors per hour are streaking from a radiant right beside the glaring sun. The peak of this invisible (yet real) meteor shower is June 7th.

There's a lot of win in this post! Love it

Surreal timelapse from yesterday as a low-precipitation supercell levitates across the high plains. The color, light, and motion on the right edge of the lowered base was wild to observe as clouds wrapped completely around the mesocyclone! #WYwx #NEwx

I do too, he's very generous with his produce! Sometimes you can tell it's old carrots, etc. but a lot of times it's perfectly good produce you or I would eat. Produce isn't cheap so I appreciate that he's feeding them well. It also looks like he started a new garden for himself behind the taller fencing, but left a smaller garden not fenced in that's for the groundhogs. Is that your impression?

It also seems like the overall # of quakes has been low today. There have been solid moderate quakes but when it gets a bit quiet like this, especially with all the factors mentioned above, it makes me a little worried.

That's so freaking cool! I love storms so much. Not the part when they hurt people and their homes though.

Yup! I actually remember watching one of his first videos and he said that was what he was going to do. Barricade himself a garden and leave the open smaller garden for Chunk (and crew now lol).

Same! We're so deprived of really cool storms here. I get all excited over a few flashes of lightning lol. We don't get enough lightning.

We've had a good amount of rain throughout all of spring, but no big storms at all. That's unusual, especially this late into the year as it gets much warmer and more humid. We have had a few minor thunderstorms and some crazy winds a few times, but that's it. There have been multiple times heavy storms w/big hail and the works were coming straight at us, but they completely evaporated before they got this far. That happens a lot. Around here many call it the "Arch effect", but it's really due to the convergence of three rivers down by the Arch. There really was a question there for a while if that big steel arch could alter our weather though.

We hoped it would help. Wrong again.
