If this isn't ironic - I do not know what is. (well, if that piece of news was true)

PS. It was +20°C during Friday and Saturday in this piece of Southern Europe. Got to love first day of winter

G3 (STRONG) GEOMAGNETIC STORMS NOW LIKELY ON 01 DEC WITH A FULL HALO CME

G3 (STRONG) GEOMAGNETIC STORM OBSERVED ON 01 DEC

published: Saturday, December 02, 2023 21:09 UTC

G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm conditions were observed during the 01/0900-1200 UTC synoptic period. The increase in geomagnetic activity was primarily caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with an M9.9 (R2-Moderate) flare at 28/1950 UTC which joined several other lesser CMEs that were already inbound towards Earth. The near-Earth space environment is expected to continue under these enhanced conditions into 02 Dec.

Good for you! I was thinking of asking how you are doing. Sounds like OK.

Moi, Moi, Moi. Time for a report from the land of permanent perfection. Got my ass rained on and dogs are tracking in mud. You get any of that?

It's Christmas Eve, and it's sunny and highs in the lower 60'sF today.

I think it only got to the upper 40's here, but that was a good thing... A day or so ago I noticed our mailbox was getting VERY wobbly, and investigation showed it was all but rotted through at the base... So today I got up early, and went to sLowes and got a bunch of cement blocks and a bag of mortar... I have now built a collar of cement blocks around the post, two blocks high... Definitely a major challenge when you have no trunk muscles and are trying to move the blocks around while hanging off the side of a wheelchair... I managed to kill the batteries in the chair about the same time I ran out of light, so had a forced stop on the project. Tomorrow I get to (hopefully) go back out and finish filling all the holes in the blocks with concrete... I hate doing masonry work...
