I saw this chicken from the balcony, there were several more baby chickens poking out but by the time I ran for my camera I couldn’t see them anymore. They’re underneath. In this cold cold weather, a momma has to keep her babies warm.

 Rebreathers in a row

 The only time we saw the sun today was at sunset.

 All these tanks are on vacation, nobody uses them during Inner Space

Rebreather tanks full and ready to go!

I’ve been getting up early to go diving the past couple days, and will be for the rest of this week. Thereby interfering with my regular posting time. Like The Rainman, I like to do certain things at the same time every day. Now it’s bedtime and I’m trying to get this post in real quick. Sorry I haven’t been around visiting your blogs, but I will be back soon!

My hard drive was almost full, so yesterday, I MOVED the contents of My Pictures to an external drive. This morning I find that all the lose files and folders moved, but all the folders are empty! I lost all the contents of My Pictures and every other folder I had in My Pictures. Damn, this is bad, really bad. Years of pictures, tons of files….. I gotta try to recover them.

Yesterday it rained all day, quite heavily. Not to mention reports of houses and roads flooding. Below are some pictures of our flooded yard, the flooded pool, and I tried to take a shot of droplets on a plant I had put outside to get some water. 

Today the forecast says 100% chance of rain, but it didn’t rain last night and isn’t raining now.

The yard was over 6 inches deep most places. It’s deeper than it looks in this picture because the grass is very tall

The pool would have overflowed if I didn’t keep pushing the lip down.

 Sooo. This didn’t come out as cool as I had hoped…

Today is a holiday here, the wife is off, and it’s pouring rain. I mean pouring. It hasn’t stopped since last night. The pool is overflowing, the yard is flooded and it is still raining. We were going to go diving today, but nobody likes to go diving in the rain. I have never figured out why. The obvious joke is because scuba divers don’t like to get wet… I think it has to do with drying off after though…
I was complaining about the weather last week, and although it has been sunny for minutes, it really hasn’t been sunny sunny in at least a week. We had to close the windows and turn on the AC, it was getting damp in the house. I put the houseplants outside and I’m worried about them drowning. We need sun!

Perhaps I should say saturated instead of diluted. 

Yesterday I decided I wanted to watch some ZZ Top Videos. So of course, I went to YouTube and searched for ZZ Top. I got tons of crap. I wanted to see ZZ Top videos, made by ZZ Top. There was so much crap that I could only find a couple. Everyone and their brother has posted a post and called it a ZZ Top video.

First of all, a still image showing while a poorly recorded audio track is playing is NOT a video. YouTube needs to get rid of all of these. That would clean things up a lot.

Secondly, a video of some moron playing air guitar to a ZZ Top song in the bathroom is not a ZZ Top Video.

But it’s not just ZZ Top. Literally everything I search for, I find so many BS results that it is difficult to glean the good stuff from the crap.

I was very frustrated looking for ZZ Top videos yesterday. Just like I was frustrated looking for a good skymap the day before…

And that’s my rant for today. dammit!!!

Sunday, as you probably know, there is an eclipse. But not for us in Cayman. It will be dark here when the eclipse happens. Which is a shame, because as you know. I like stuff like that. Below is the best eclipse map I could find today. Click to enlarge. A week ago I found some really really nice maps, and thought “I’m gonna put those on my blog” Now I can’t find them. Typical. However, the map below is very good. Maybe you will see at least a partial eclipse.
