Saturday July 14th Storm

A first!  Just backed the truck into the "Bike Vault".  Getting ready for the trip to Solvang, and need the side parking for the RV, so had to move the Harley to the front garage.  We won't make a habit of having 4 wheel vehicles in here!  A year ago, we didn't even own this property.  A large tree was growing right about where the Burgman is parked now.
The day started out normally with hot sunshine.  I notice some water in the drive way, it was coming from the automatic drip line that goes to the front of the house for the tree and shrubs.  After some digging, found a leaking coupling and s small split in the pipe. 

All finished with the leak in front, tools cleaned and put up, and the rock covering all back in place.  Then the rain started!  Some Thunder and lightning.  First time we've seen this much water come down here in Kingman.  It didn't last long

The natural "wash" in the back of our house.  Because of this, no one will ever be allowed to build on that property.  We like that.  Notice the tumble weeds growing in there

2 blocks North of us is where the Wash crossed the road.  Those tumble weeks were washed up and are still in the road.  It flooded like this for about an hour or less, then dried right up.  I imagine the City will come around soon to clean things up.  This is opposite the route we take so wont' effect us.  We live on this dead end street.

Register receipt from Big Lots.  We had one of these yesterday, and one just a long today.  Nutrisystem nutritional food was on a terrific sale, so I stocked up.
