2022 Water Year Report

I did it. I finally did it. I sat down and entered in all the precipitation data for the last water year for 2022. It only took me about 2 hours total, probably less. There is unfortunately some missing data for August, but I'm just glad I finally completed all the entries. 

While it appears to be a much dryer year than on average, I will note that my gage site is not ideal and there is some obstruction so it is an underestimate of actual precipitation values. 

Anyway, I will write up a more thorough summary soon, this is just my initial celebration.

Lakes, Trains, Fish

I spent some time at the lake these past two days, and enjoyed watching the small fish school around near shore while the train passed by across the lake.

Very peaceful and existentially satisfying, it was.

Blue space is something to experience as often as possible, it is healing and calming.

And the weather was beautiful.

October is a great month to spend time near this lake, as most folks have gone back to their regular routines and the lake is calmer. There is also a bit more solitude.

So I will try to make more time for this throughout the month. In between compiling my precipitation data for the past water year, because while I am diligent about writing it down with pencil on paper, I am terrible about adding the data to CoCoRaHS. 

Hopefully I will have more to report soon :-)
