Hey BillsFan,

I just had the opportunity, due to: (contract wording) 'clear evidence of treatment zone disruption', to get free-retreatment for termites. Originally treated in 1994, nary any signs of termites -- ever. They pumped in a bunch of fipronil down through the foundation. Does this sound correct to you? I looked it up a bit and found it's half-life to be 4m to 1y. Anything I need to know, for future consideration?

Thanks, in advance.

so refresh my memory... You've paid an annual renewal since 1995? If so, yes, that sounds good. We deal with Formosan termites down here, very aggressive, but in your area not a concern... yet. Do you have an annual premium with them? sorry, my mind has been in 24 directions the last week. We install termite bait stations down here that we check quarterly. (and bait if needed)... but the Fipronil is the same idea.

Thunderstorms blew up around the area earlier after my radar post. My phone had 4-5 Severe Thunderstorm warnings but the cells passed just to my north and south while I got squeezed in between with squadoosh!

Basketball calls. Go Gonzaga!

good morning Gomey, yeah lightning around here sometimes is frightening lol..well I'm hoping Thursdays front will bring some good rain here,we need one of those all day off and on kind of rain..the kind that soaks in..and not all at once so it just runs off.

I wonder how Aug is this morning with all those storms up there.

No rainfall by me so far. Glad the front didn't stall farther south as those rainfall totals just a bit north of me are crazy for a spring frontal system. Radar estimates in Lafayette county are now over 12"!!!! I would like some rainfall to knock the dust down, but not a foot of rain all at once.

well I see the new WU (cat-6) has started over in diqus..I don't really like it at all,doc made a big mistake I think dumping our blogs.

I agree,traffic on the site will go down

no word from Aug yet..hope he didn't lose power,nws was saying 60mph winds earlier up there.

Rain shield is still up and functioning in Cedar Key. Heavy rainfall has fallen from Chiefland north and eastward to Gainesville, with radar estimates of 2-4 inches. Even storming heavily in Marion County, while the storms continue to go around me. Maybe the storms will build southward as the day progresses.

I still see that Low in the gulf south of panama city....it almost looks to be moving ese... meaning it may fire a storm or two near Tampa...

well I sure could use a full day of rain and showers here,so very dry here around my area.

I'm very busy with work Largo but appreciate you asking. It started raining around 5am or so and is just winding down now. Did a quick gauge peek and looks to be 2 - 2 1/2". I am a happy camper! No severe weather for me but there were a few close lightning strikes.

Doppler radar shows a line of strong thunderstorms currently located
over Volusia County waters moving south-southeast into Brevard
County waters. In front of this line is a strong outflow boundary
that could produce wind gusts of 34 knots or greater.

Showers and storms continue to move east through Marion County and
soon to northern Lake and Volusia counties. These storms are
producing frequent lightning...gusty winds and heavy downpours.

Through this afternoon...expect scattered showers and isolated storms
to continue to sag east-southeast across Lake...Volusia...Seminole
and northern Brevard counties. This activity will continue offshore
and affect small craft boating. The threats here include torrential
downpours...small hail...frequent cloud to water lightning strikes...
and perhaps waterspouts. Small craft should stay in port across the
Volusia and northern Brevard coastal waters.
