Hello,
Been awhile now, managed two mornings of blocking, during last couple of days, before the rain sets in and spoils rest of day.
Built the right hand side of window support plus a few blocks along deck walk.
I know its April but two morning out of 13 days, enough enough of rain wind and more rain forecast until thursday.
A few photo of build.

Outstanding job, Whiskey! And, I only expected it to be perfectly level, with your expertise! It's coming along very well, despite the rains there. Hope you get some more dry days to work more on it. Great photos. Anxiously waiting for more.

RAIN for waterbug the nerd all dried up in Az,lol!
Rain is liquid precipitation, as opposed to non-liquid kinds of precipitation such as snow, hail and sleet. Rain requires the presence of a thick layer of the atmosphere to have temperatures above the melting point of water near and above the Earth's surface. On Earth, it is the condensation of atmospheric water vapor into drops of water heavy enough to fall, often making it to the surface. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated leading to rainfall: cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air. Virga is precipitation that begins falling to the earth but evaporates before reaching the surface; it is one of the ways air can become saturated. Precipitation forms via collision with other rain drops or ice crystals within a cloud. Large rain drops are oblate-shaped and small drops are spherical. Moisture moving along three-dimensional zones of temperature and moisture contrasts known as weather fronts is the major method of rain production. If enough moisture and upward motion is present, precipitation falls from convective clouds (those with strong upward vertical motion) such as cumulonimbus (thunderstorms) which can organize into narrow rainbands. In mountainous areas, heavy precipitation is possible where upslope flow is maximized within windward sides of the terrain at elevation which forces moist air to condense and fall out as rainfall along the sides of mountains. On the leeward side of mountains, desert climates can exist due to the dry air caused by downslope flow which causes heating and drying of the air mass. The movement of the monsoon trough, or intertropical convergence zone, brings rainy seasons to savannah climes. Rain is the primary source of freshwater for most areas of the world, providing suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation. Rainfall is measured via rain gauges. Rainfall amounts can be estimated by weather radar.

Woohoo, I was able to "like" your description of rain, JW. And, loved the pic of rain, too. LOL
Poor Waterbug, getting no rain, and Whiskey, getting too much like you, JW. We should be able to share our rain with our friends who are not getting enough, and then we would all be happy. Maybe we can put in a request for that .....
