Too bad on missing the Fiesta.

You didn’t miss much with last nights weather. We got a pounding from hail, lots of it 1” diameter. It broke the skylight clear through, tore big holes in the greenhouse roof, destroyed our apple crop, tore up the garden, and left dimples all over my truck.

Managed to harvest all the busted up apples and made sauce or sliced and dried them. I’ve got some metal roofing I can use to close up the greenhouse.

Not a skylight to be had in town - even checked in the S. Valley! So I cut a piece of kevlar sheet from some old project and used that. Can’t see through it, but it’s probably hail proof!
