It's gently drizzling out there, but Jason from NOAA says that it will be a good storm sometime after midnight. I should go to bed and get a couple hours' sleep.
It's almost routine after six years. I'm certainly not all tenterhooks like I have been in the past. Ho-hum it's First Flush.
Up till a few days ago it wasn't clear whether we were going to do the City of Santa Cruz this time or just Live Oak and a bit of South COunty. The city came through with the money, but very late, and required all the people who had once applied for measure E money to re-apply, and that cut all the time very short. Measure E is where the people of Santa Cruz said yeah, let's put some tax money towards moniutoring and mitigating the stresses on the environment.
So anyway I was assigned to a site I've never seen -- we couldn't reconnaissance it during the dry run event last month because it's behaind a locked gate and the city of Capitola hadn't got around to giving us a key, so the person who was my partner at the time and I went to this other spot to reconnoiter, and we discovered a dry ditch. But now that the city is on board, I'm back to my first true love of all storm drains, the culvert at the end of Woodrow Avenue, home to a thug's garden, kind of tame compared to some places I've been but my dear friend after all these years. Is it wrong to love a storm drain?
Anyway.
That's what's up with me.
edit, hours later: hours and hours and nothing measurable. No First Flush tonight.
still later: we're doing it but my group is not responding.
