We finally had a nice mostly clear night after several days of on and off rain.
I saw my first Perseid (PER) and Southern Delta Aquarid (SDA) meteors for 
the season, as well as activity from several minor meteor radiants.  The Milky 
Way was beautiful as always.  No meteors brighter than 0 magnitude was seen.  
that one was a long trailed SDA that left a 3 second train.  I only saw one Phi 
Piscid (PPS),  but it was 1st magnitude and also had a nice 3 second train.
One of the two Antihelion (ANT) meteors seen had a beautiful green nebulous 
trail.  Another strange nebulous meteor that I see on rare occasions.
