Yeah, for those that don't know the Los Angeles area, it is essentially a desert. I think average rainfall is about 14 inches of rain (downtown) and most of that falls between November and April. So, this is not exactly seasonal. We used to joke that with just 3 drops of rain, you start having traffic accidents because everyone stops and stares. It really doesn't rain that often in LA. I have seen serious street flooding with only about a quarter of an inch of rain. The storm drains get so clogged with trash that they don't have much room for water. 2 inches in 24 hours? Jeeze. Break out the boats. Smart ones will get all their shopping done by Sunday afternoon and then hunker down. My mom is not that far away from JR, so I hope y'all ride through this one safely. She's no longer driving, so that is one blessing.

The Husband just came in and said he has the stones on the new stove and is now lighting the test fire. He decided today to forego the circus and get it finished on his own. His parents will come over tomorrow for a sauna party. At least the house is all clean.

Now, this is the stove before he added the stones. You can tell how small that working area is. Cross your fingers he doesn't burn the house down.
