Think I come up with a new mulitlayered design in material and layer shape for such a Faraday cage. And It may have to be much more of a helmet like that:




or that



LOL.

Ahh, spring time in Texas. We're following in last spring's practice of staging tiny, intense damaging Sunday thunderstorms. Golf ball sized hail and a 0.5" of rain in 10 mins over a 2-3 mile wide band. Our county's 911 service has been knocked out.

[Broken Arrow]

I#ll pray that you are safe and no damage as everybody else.

Golf ball sized hail. Rarly seen and and that wil thick bumps in the car.

[OLChemist]

My car's old hail damage didn't get any new hail damage, LOL. I did get a cracked window on my house.


At least the power didn't go out. I had beef bourguignon in the crock pot. I'm getting so sick of my own cooking.

[Broken Arrow]

May I sincerely offer a (pseudo german) cookbook to try out new old ideas?

You'd bettter never try out my cooking except in an emergency.

The only time in my lieftime I have seen golf ball sized hails cracked the thick double glas paneel of the Bilux windwow on the roof. Fortunatley only the first paneel. And that is more than ten years ago.

[OLChemist]

Tomorrow will be another day of severe storms. I dislike spring time in Texas. Pray for my roof, tree and windshield.

[Broken Arrow]

I pray for you, your tree, roof and windshield.

We are doing the severe weather Spring, too. At least the thunderstorms knock some of the pollen down. Y'all come on down to Georgia. The twitwit governor is opening up for business starting Monday.

[Broken Arrow]

Sunny but windy day and pollen are flying.

Windshield and engine bonnet of my car are pollen yellow.

Don't know what is more effected, nose or eyes. Sigh, at the cost that wozld be better.

Tommorow I go to work. Next week two days to work, or nay be three. Exam time.

I don't know about that.



I need to be with someone.

It is getting bad when every post is about CHOCOLATE. I am currently not going for chocolate or pizza. They make my clothes shrink.

Dodged the tornadoes Thursday. We were under 3 different ones for 3 hours. One hit the ground about 3hours by car from here and stayed on the ground until it was on the coast about 4 miles north of us. Then it turned into a water spout. I must say that it broke up the bordem.

How is your coronary thing now? Hope you are OK

I haven't left the house yet, except to go out to the studio or the drive the car around to keep the battery charged. Sadly, I have been singularly unproductive at my bench. I haven't come up with a good design since this started. Nor have I brought anything across the finish line.

The shop at the rockhound club has been closed. I did order a flat lap so I could do lapidary work at home. It was in two Fed Ex boxes. One with the accessories and more saw blades was delivered today. The other, with the machine, is MIA. And Fed Ex tracking is down. I'm being so ravingly paranoid that I'm afraid porch pirates have gotten it but left the Charmin box full of tp that Staples delivered this afternoon, LOL. I suspect the street value of tp is higher than cabbing machines right now.


I think I've been shut in too long. I haven't got the bread thing worked out yet. I'm not a big bread eater. Normally, flour tortillas do it and they have a long shelf life in the fridge. Today I wanted a burgher for lunch. But, I had no buns. (No smart comments.) I cut the patty in half and ate it like a taco. It wasn't bad. I think I need to get to a fast food restaurant soon, LOL.

It is a big treat to go be security at the church building tomorrow for the live streaming people since we do not have aregular service now. I get todrive 11 miles back and forth. It is hard to keep my eyes on tge road, becsuse I want to look all around.

[OLChemist]

I know how that goes. I drove my car for an hour on Thursday. We're not supposed to drive anywhere but essential work or errands, I had to mail a bill( and keep my car battery charged). I drove to a post office in another town, LOL.
