Unrelenting rain. Not as much as some of Houston, but still enough to saturate the ground. During a lull in the passing storms, managed to cut an alternate pit lane access (foreground) onto the track. Makes pit lane drive thru penalties easier to do. Supposed to begin clearing, but with it...

Did some research and came up with ten (10) 2m repeater sites Houston area. Did a memory save on four of the freq's, incl. Houston ARES/RACES and Skywarn Hou EOC. Skywarn Saltgrass Houston is real active on 146.902 with a daily net. Big help in emergency planning. Thanks for the heads-up...

Gotta be room in this thread for some 'Unsprung Wait.'

VHF 2m 146.915 active here. Haven't done a dedicated search beyond the one freq I found. What is active your loc.? Is there an FCC or Ham national recommended emergency opns 2m freq I should monitor? Ham operators were (and still are apparently) a good source of emergency info. [former]...

30degF here with light freezing rain and ice fog. Nasty day. Snow on the way. . . for Houston! 6-10AM energy conserve request this morning because of a weak power grid. Took advantage of it to shut down all the electrics in the house (except the furnace, of course). Ran a full-on home-brew...

Yeah, Denver area is really catching it. Follow weather in select cities Nebraska and Colorado having once lived in both. Hang in there. Looks like you'll get warming about the same time as Houston next week. Really massive arctic system, this one. Both Omaha and Scottsbluff in Nebraska are...

Temps spiked today to 64degF after a cool and windy week. Got the Senton 2S out for a pack. First time out this new year. Weather closing in again with heavy clouds building in the W and NW. Gonna get cold - at last for SE Texas - temps in the 20s. Looking like no joy for RC runs yet again...

Yeah, buddy. To die for. Temps drop to 90degF here, I'd have to wear a sweater and gloves to run the RC. :D

Done with any RC activities outside until Fall. Daily temps routinely high 90s, low 100sF with 'feels like' at 105-110F. Garage workshop usually hits 90degF by late morning ~10:00-12:00. Window for doing anything outside is like 7:00-9:00am. Doesn't leave much time for working on RC in the...

Heavy fog here in Houston this morning too.

Hard freeze predicted here beginning tomorrow night and lasting through Christmas. Shucks, and almost ready to road test the R43X Rustler and the 3800Kv install in the MT10. Two RC road tests on hold. Busy now draining outdoor water hoses. In the process finding out there is a leaking water...

Yeah, I'm stuck where I'm at too. Good thing is the back yard is big enough to have a MT track. Other than that, I sure don't want to finish out my life in Houston, Texas. Looking hard at how to get back to my home state of Nebraska. Big problem is I've got so much 'junk'. How to get rid of...

No wonder you're smilin bri. Lots of green and blue in those pix. AARMA launching good. Like the first image just leaving the ramp. Classic basher image with a great backdrop. Drought in the rear view mirror here in Houston. Replacing it is a rain shower a day cycle. Thinking I need to...

Yikes, Doom! Hot much? Hope it moderates for you soon. Finally getting rain here. Helps hold the temps down and make up the rainfall deficit. Still, something unsettling about the whole pattern and trend. Whatever software module weathercasting uses seems to consistently miss the mark...
