Independence day

[fbhjr]

For a couple of days now we’ve know King Arthur was returning for the July 4th as a hurricane.


It was not totally clear if we’d get hit, but we were going to get a lot of rain on Friday either way.


Thursday was pretty humid. A frequent occurrence when a tropical storm is headed towards you.


Friday, the king arrived.

It was pretty rainy.


On Friday we got the average amount of rain for June, July and August combined.
But, June had been very dry, so we needed the water.

Even with the rain we went over to cissa & cosmicirony’s house for dinner. It was only 5 miles away and no rivers between us to overflow.

cosmicirony braved the rain and cooked outdoors on the grill for us.

It was a very nice time, with great food and company.
A good way to spend Independence Day.

It did mean that the beef ones got cooked a bit more than we would have otherwise, since the alternative was to have them sit in the rain. Still, they were tender and juicy.

The grill is hot enough that unless it's a monsoon, it works OK.
