The cool news was MY reading in Columbus of a 52 mph wind gust was used by NOAA and CH27. Seems I'm taken seriously by NOAA and last night COLUMBUS 52 was on the news.
The storms sure looked rather threatening. #1 with the 52 mph winds looked pretty scary
and it was about this point where . . . . .
the kid mowing our neighbors lawn stopped mid row and ran . . RAN home. I'm not even sure the lawn mower was turned off LOL (note, the light pole is straight up - 10mm lens does that)
Then in round 2 a truly magnificent shelf cloud, roll cloud, arcus cloud rolled over us. The leading edge of a gust front.
In June we had 17 days with some sort of rain for 5.58 inches.
One year ago today we had a dew point of 78.8 and a heat index of 107. SO . . . can't complain.

Saturday the president of our home brew club FINALLY opened the brewery where he is the head brewer . Ooga Brewing in Beaver Dam and damn he makes good beer.
He produced a coffee pale ale that I totally love. Even with all the new equipment issues he had with his first bunch of brews this one was great. He has 4 beers on tap and there are 3 or 4 more guests taps at the moment.
When I started brewing people kept telling me to open a brewery - NO!!! That would be like work. Jeff is working like 70 hours a week trying to keep up . . . and dare I say loving every second. It's nice when you see a dream come true.
This whole thing about working for your self is bull. Why would I want that stress.
It's also nice when someone who is a step above home brewing turns pro and is successful.
The odd thing is is that in the last few years many of us old timers that started home brewing a decade ago with pretty good success and many awards . . . stopped. The issue is why brew now when you can go to a store with SO MANY OPTIONS and just buy a 6-pack.
A decade plus ago there were not that many options of when you could buy. I have two recipes that I will brew - My Double Chocolate Stout and my East Indian Porter. But even then - if you want my Double Chocolate Stout just go to HyVee and buy Samuel Smiths Organic Chocolate Stout. I'ts truly my favorite stout and is as close I you can get to perfection in a chocolate stout.

Even though Kim Jong Un executed his staff for the failed Trump nuclear meeting last time El Presidente' loves the killer of families with more photo ops and then takes credit for saving America for a mess he created.
The average American female player in the World Cup earned $260,869, compared to $1,114,429 for a male player. and what did the males do this year? Have they played? Did I miss it?
The stock market continues to run sideways
We think the markets are slated for a strong opening today as the recent news is causing an increase in the optimism, but as we have seen so many times this year, that optimism can be fleeting. The best technical pattern for the markets, in our opinion, would be to hold the initial gain through the day and then build on it further over the next few days. A reversal from the strong opening could signal some toppy action that would be more significant now that the DJIA and S&P are in their previous high territories. We still view the markets as a mixed bag, of different trends in stocks, groups, and indexes, that is not positioned well enough for a continued uptrend at this time, and regard the current action as more of a short-term peak.

OH - I'm on The Twitter. Rod Melotte. Random comments normally about the Brewer games and odd facts about life.

Big Brother is off and running and now you can tune in as the first few episodes are over where everyone is REALLY fake. it takes a week to really get going and peoples real personalities show up.
Of course an 8 person alliance is already about to fall apart (like they do) and a new Head of Household was picked last week.
Amazing Race ended and Colin and Christie were by far the strongest team. They were in The Race in 2004 and he was just a total asshole to his wife and he vowed to get better. What a nice change 15 years later.
OH - you asked about LOVE ISLAND? Just say no. They are advertising it as a REALLY SHALLOW eye candy show. YUP. We really only watch the big 3, Survivor, Amazing Race and Big Brother.
Have a warm day - ENJOY lol
