More house upgrades

The parade of house upgrades continues with this new light in the front entry. An acquisition from the wife’s recent trip to NYC last month resulted in this and a matching chandelier that I’m about to put up in the dining area. It ended up being little bit on the small side, which has the wife planning another trip back to NYC to get a bigger one. When that happens, this one will probably end up in the hallway.

New hallway entry light

I have an extra light fixture. 13″ diameter, frosted globe, 2 bulbs. Anybody interested? Looks kind of like this one only flush mounted to the ceiling.

TD 14

With TD Lee dissipating, TD 14 has formed out in the middle of the Atlantic. This one looks like it will stay out in the ocean again and shouldn’t be much of a bother. The forecast does have it becoming a tropical storm in a day or so, which would be named Maria.

THE DEPRESSION IS MOVING AROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYERED RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN ATLANTIC. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SLOW DOWN OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS IT APPROACHES A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE NEAR 50W. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT ON THE PRESENCE OF A MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING SOUTH BETWEEN BERMUDA AND THE LEEWARD ISLANDS. THIS FEATURE SHOULD EVENTUALLY TURN THE CYCLONE TO THE NORTHWEST AND THEN NORTH BEYOND 72 HOURS AS THE DEEP-LAYERED RIDGE AMPLIFIES TO THE EAST.
