2024 Estelline Trip

[JEBar]

its been a hazy but nice day .... today's high as been 82, its already dropped to 78 .... no precipitation so far but that is said to be about to change ===> 1% chance of rain/thunderstorm before midnight .... 98% chance of rain/thunderstorm after midnight .... smoked some dill pickle wraps today, none left .... quiet in the park tonight, no baseball or softball games scheduled

Those look delicious, love bacon, love dill pickles. Unfortunately I don't have a smoker. Can you smoke small portions of meat or fish, being single I wouldn't want to do too much at a time. I might be tempted to get a small one just to be able to try your pickle wraps.

while today's weather hasn't been terrible, it sure hasn't been very good .... solid overcast but very little rain .... for most of today the temp has been in the upper 50's/low 60's with a cutting wind .... in short we spent the day closed up inside our camper, very happy to have a strong TV signal and wide range of sports/movies ... right now we are watching the Yankees vs the Red Sox .... most of the family drove an hour and a half south to watch one of the nephews play baseball .... the good news is, his team won 2 games and moves into the final tomorrow .... their weather was apparently much better than ours ...

I'll bet there were non of those pickles left. Mmmmm

We are supposed to get 90's this week. I have the grand daughters pool running and it should be ready when she is!

thunder has been rumbling since 2AM 54 at 8:18AM with light wind and steady rain .... looks like this will be with us for a couple of more hour before moving out .... they say another band of thunderstorms will move through late this afternoon .... we have to get out and take care of some shopping, absolutely no motivation to do so for a while

[JEBar]

I'll bet there were none of those pickles left. Mmmmm

that would be a safe bet ..

very different from yesterday .... partly cloudy with 18 mph wind (gusting to 37 mph) out of the WSW .... chance of PM thunderstorms which seems to be a common thread for the rest of this week .... its Rodeo week in Estelline ===> https://estellinerodeo.com/index.html ... sure hope the weather cooperates, around here this is a major event .... first up for us this morning, a supply run to Brookings for groceries and meds ...

overnight out temp dropped to 51 and today its struggled to only get to 64 by 1:30PM .... don't know what the RealFeel temp is out there is right now but do know its uncomfortably cool ... they say that by 5PM the temp will rise to 71, can only hope that proves to be the case .... folks in town are putting the finishing touches on Rodeo prep .... the only open site in our campground has just been occupied so it appears we will be full for the weekend ....

[JEBar]

the watchword for today has been rain, more rain, and even more rain ..... we have heard that the watchword for tomorrow will be the same and even more .... currently 62 which is the warmest I've seen all day ....for many years we have served as volunteer camp host at Estelline's city campground .... with the election of a new mayor who we have yet to meet, we were wondering if that would continue .... one of the city workers just came by with info on site reservations for this weekend's rodeo ... as usual, we will be full ....

Rodeo Day #1 in Estelline for 2024 ..... in short, big day in a small town .... currently 63 with a predicted high of 74 .... IF the forecast is accurate, they are showing 80% and up chances of thunderstorms from 7PM on this evening .... fortunately, tomorrow evening's forecast looks some better ..... nothing much on today's calendar .... other than to go for a walk, doubt we will leave our site today
