Thanks for the commiseration on elderly parents guys. I hate to think what it will be like when the boomer generation hits our 80's by the millions. I feel sorry for our kids already.

Sharon at home says there was a mass emergence of Japanese beetles yesterday, the yard was shimmering. They were so thick she whacked bunches with a shovel, then read online you shouldn't do that as the females release their pheromones when crushed which brings more beetles. I guess I start some milky spore applications this fall. We've always had a few around but nothing like she described.

Guys, Those of you with parents that have dementia/memory issues. Dad had Alzheimer last 4 1/2 of his life, had to be in a home about 3 years. With Dad, symptoms were so uneven, ie could from fairly functional to barely able to speak then recover later. Attention span was often a clue for a change. Dad never did forget who took the car keys (the only thing he did not forget) for as long as he could still talk. Had him checked for driving skills after he got lost several times, and that's when the keys (and car) got yanked. It is never easy.

7 inches in one day? wow....
David, with 101 inches so far this year, could you cistern all the water you need without a well? Sort of like a battery pack, larger cistern is better.
and your next project could be setting up a small waterfall on your property from the overflow rain driving a miniature hydroelectric power plant.
you could do it...:thumbsup:


hmmm, something tells me you already have water tanks, a few chapters back...

I did make it to the river. My cousins own the 1/2 mile of river front just north of the park, and there is a good looking beach on their land that I use. I swim down to the boat ramp and walk back upriver. I swam 32 minutes today, but it took longer than planned. By the time I had lunch and got cleaned up, it was time to go to work. There was no time to shower. But I had just got out of the river, so I shouldn't stink. My hair on the other hand........

74 outside. I missed the bigger storms last night and was just on the edges it seems.

I've got a Job Fair, lunch with an old co-worker, and a visit to the Lawyers office today...

Tomorrow morning I get visitation with my girls from 8 to 1pm...

Be well all,
David

Good Morning All.
