I came across this this morning and I thought cool, in reference to our previous discussion about lightning.

Scroll down a ways and there’s a video.

Safety first during t-storms.

I had to swim out of my toyota 4runner in a creek in the MO Ozarks in 2009, now my address is on top of the Llano, as you know R2 it’s rare you need to even wade out of anything up there.

When I refer to playa lakes:

From past experience Drew, not involved myself but from the experience of having been there at the time when reconstructing the power grid in Lubbock after the 1970 tornado and having worked in the Lubbock area off and on for years, don’t get caught in the underpasses during downpours or in the playa lake areas around the south loop. A bunch of rain can fall in a hurry and nowhere for water to run off to. 😀

Bet that was cool to see Bruce, from a very respectable distance.

Dave, from an old lineman/substation electricians experience, no outside for me when lightning if I can avoid it.

We good.

Everyone knows where the flooding areas are so they can go drive into them and get rescued out of them:roll::roll:

Farmers grumpin’ cause it’s too wet to plant, they were grumpin’ cause too dry to plant. Heck, on perfect days when they’re in the coffee shop they’re grumpin’ about the ……:lol:coffee.

No shootin for awhile today methinks. Me no likey lightning!!!!

Little bit different view to the north of my house than what I’ve posted in years past.

Playa lakes all getting full, other lakes are rising, people driving into flooded ares, etc….

Here’s my G Fred wool bag

It has two main pockets and a couple of smaller ones, like easy access for phone and specks.

As with all of my goodies I sling over my shoulder, I revise the strap with a quick disconnect of some sort so I can unhook and slip off without a bunch of movement taking the strap over my head.

I have fire starters, rope, knife, little bit of first aid, emergency blanket, paracord, etc. I can tie my jacket onto it if needed. I still have room for water and some munchies.

I’ll try and get pics in the next day or two of my G Fred wool haversack. It works great for me in my hunting and stumping world.

I use this old muzzleloading bag a lot when just stumping and at 3D shoots. Holds a few goodies and doesn’t weigh me down;

It wasn’t as warm as I look when this was taken.:D

Steve seems like all that other stuff I take besides the bow and arrows and don’t use either, that takes some figgerin on ahead of time too.

Sure was a fine day here in Amarillo yesterday.

Green grass, partly cloudy, mid 70’s, light winds and a traditional 3D shoot with a dozen or so friends.

Cain’t complain bout nothing and see no reason to.

Gripin and grumpin only ruins one’s day and that of those around. 😀

Would rather smell the “roses” 🙂
