(no subject)
Almost a year and no posts.
Most of you who read this know where I am and what is going on. Websites and root servers have all been moved and have had little to no problems. So on with the update.
My house, and backyard are not finished. So I only have two pictures of the house to show off, then some other ones around the area.
This is the front garden. There's more behind me, mostly cactus and scrub, but we've been buying plants and we're just waiting for the monsoon season to be over.
The only actual finished room in the house is the kitchen. The idiot builder had purchased a floor model microwave/convectional oven combo, that didn't even turn on. So after calling Whirlpool for 3 weeks straight I got a brand new unit free of charge.
One shot from the backyard. The Superstition Mountains are right behind us, we just happen to be on the side that never gets rain. This is actually a bad shot, its very close, about a 2hour foot hike to the base from the front door, about 10 minute drive.
This is the wind side of the mountain, a little closer. There are caves all over the place, not to mention the weird history( Lost Dutchman) and that theres lots of gold in this mountain. Theres also a huge cult that believes a giant UFO exists under the mountain.
Our neighbors backyard. He's extremely nice, takes care of Ephistian when we're not home. But kinda....weird at the same time.
Now, it doesn't rain much here, we have lightning storms every night, which is awesome and relaxing to watch. The mountain blocks most of the rain, and when its strong enough to pass the mountain it only lasts about 10 minutes. However, this picture is of a Microburst(which I'm all too familiar with). A Micro is basically a very small localized thunderstorm. To those in Pitt, its what destroyed The Whip at Kennywood a few years back. This one here is about 11 miles away, and dropped right on top of the local mall. Destroyed some powerlines and ripped up some trees, but only lasted for 8 minutes.
Same storm 2 minutes later. It got very dark and nasty pretty quick, and then it blew itself out.
My baby Maxwell being bad. My mothers cat Angel is also in my care now.
And little Rikki, who has become a absolute terror lately. But I love her anyways.
Striped butt!
I promise to post more picks and give a update soon.
