Jackie and Sadie are still in Baja well be back when the rain stops, its a holiday so there is no work and its raining

Looks like the grid holder is filling up with water

Since its to wet to cook on the Egg I decided to cook some meatballs and sauce. Jackie's other daughter Laura and her girlfriend are coming over for dinner

Sauce has to cook at a simmer for the next 6-hrs

looks nice. add those meatball drippins and the fallen yum yums to your olive oil (except maybe now a little less olive oil) to start your sauce base.

also set nets up in the gutter outside to catch any drifting animals for when the egg dries out :wink:

I'm smoking in the rain!

This socal storm can't scare me away from smoking some pork butt on the drum!

Great looking balls, Ross. I like your Egg cart. You just need to buy a 10 X 10 pop-up tent and rain will not effect your Q.

Nice looking cooking Ross. BTW, you can do something to stop the eastward progression of your weather. Those storms you are getting are ending up here, ALL WEEK LONG according to the weatherpeople...

Ross,could you not make a cover-roof that would fit into the two poles in the back and hang over the egg so you could cook in the rain!!!!!

Glad to hear you didn't float away in round 1! Batten down the hatches for the rest of the week.

We got just under 2 inches here, bet you got quite a bit more.

 

[sdb25]

We measured .9 inches in my backyard.

Not too bad, but looks like the inland areas have been hit harder. Best part is, this is gonna continue all week just saturating the ground. Then on Thursday, WHAM!

Stay safe everyone!

I froze a bunch of 2 liter soda bottles yesterday just in case the power goes out, I'm not losing my frozen meat stash in this storm!

 

[Big George's BBQ]

Very nice Ross

 

[bacardi2001]

we had about 2 inches so far

 

[cowgirl]

Wow Ross, hope you don't float away! The food looks awesome.

 

[JiveTurkey]

we had about 2 inches so far

For the record:

I----I <---- this is two inches :lol:

i live in the ca cent valley. we really had a good slow steady rain which is what is ideal. but today some thunderstorms came through north of us around the fresno area so we had some very high winds. after that we had sun for several hours. kind of exciting from our normal boring weather

Nice balls n sauce Ross!
