Post-Christmas

Spitfire flood

Hopefully all who read this are getting through the multi-day non-stop round of rain and thunderstorms without any major issues (we’re not, at our home, but so far we’ve managed to keep the basement from completely flooding, primarily through monitoring and mopping every 30 minutes, plus two-hour shifts overnight).

If you’ve read the news, Yurp’s having similar problems, including massive flooding in York, England.  The photo above came from The Daily Mail and shows a somewhat wet Spitfire in Thorp, Surrey.

On the plus side, at the moment (Mon 28 Dec/0916L), the back end of this front is now over by JeffCity/Columbia, so we should see an end to the rain by the end of the day.  Then again, we’re also finally going to get some seriously colder temps.  Wonder if I can get the TR8 out Wednesday after work….sounds like a good opportunity to determine if the Wedge’s heater actually works (the dear departed Red Rolling Parts Car did NOT have a heater, made things entertaining).
