The models are still dancing Drew but Monday should start to tell the tale. If I were betting Myrtle Beach to Wilmington is the zone to watch and if it travels inland then I’m in trouble. Remember to the right is the strongest part of the storm and so far the euro has been more spot on so I’d pay attention to that one until we get closer then look for short range models

and I'm surely to the Right.. (well on this one :D)

need something to push it out to sea and that apparently isn't happening.
This has been a wet year for the East Coast anyway and now four days of rain on the forecast, well over five inches I'm sure, it's the ten to fifteen inches that will make this area impassable, like most places actually.
at least my ditches are cleaned out, not much to do but wait. Will absolutely wreck the rest of the veggie garden, four days of rain
will rot it all. Well one way to put the garden to bed for the year. All those new little cucumber plants too...8 foot tall okra plants are not going to survive 35mph winds either.

All this hurricane talk, and momma nature is churning them out now. Wow. Looks like I better get my chain saw ready. That thing still has idle/full speed issues.

57 outside this AM. Nice, grey and wet morning. Looks like an indoor day. Although checking the pool this AM the water was nice. Clear blue and warmer than the air. Should I do it? Probably will. Next few days will be more wet and soggy.

Yesterday was final roofing day for the run-in. In the rain. Up high on ladders. No fun. Too many friends had ladder accidents over my years. One stepped wrong off a ladders last rung. Broken bones in foot. Six months in a cast and a year of recover. Just stepped wrong. Others fared, much...much worse. Always in the back of my head up high on ladders. Don't like them. Job is done now. Just need to lay metal down and get to screwing screws. Too bad it is raining.... weather this year, not ideal for building stuff outside.

Hope all have a great day, be safe. Get prepared. Fill those inside tubs for the weather coming. Get some batteries for your first alert radios. Make sure you generator is close by and ready to go. And get a lot of munchies.

Don, fancy dress for Halloween? What a marketing opportunity - just claim it's a modern twist on a witches cauldron and make a huge Instant Pot costume. Of course your wife is far too nice to be a witch - after giving you that second chance at life, she's more like a Queen of Hearts.

Eric, so far you are in first place, my wife likes your fancy dress idea, she also wanted to tell you you have a very cute grandson.
Now I'm going to have to figure out how to make an instant pot costume. I may have to ask assistance from the "Art Club".

Good morning! We are under a flash flood warning, rains expected most of the day. 73˚ to 77˚ today.

Roy it looks like you can wear 5" off that rubber blade before you need a replacement edge. It will be interesting to hear next spring how much of the blade you rubbed off to get an estimate life of the edge.

Ron Halloween party sounds fun

Mention to wife that Don was looking for suggestions for Halloween party costumes. She reminded me that party was also for our youngest son's 1st birthday. 44 years ago. :confused3:
Lots of things we should do again. That is another one. But it gets harder every year.

All this hurricane talk,
. . . Make sure you generator is close by and ready to go. . .

Good idea, as they say:

You don't want to be caught
Without an Instant Pot

Good morning! We finally got a bit o' rain, with more hopefully on the way! IIRC, we've had about .3" since July 4th. That's about a trace per month. Now the clay in my garden can loosen enough to till it in a few days.

You guys on the eastern seaboard keep watch, be ready to alter plans and batten the hatches.

Ed, hope the boy had a good party and day. I like cake too. And it likes me. You are a good man for helping take care of him.

Eric, great pic. One for the family photo album.

I pray that you all have a blessed day. And if you're ailing, that you all keep healing.

It was 39° this morning, yesterday was partly cloudy and in the high 70's. The forecast hasn't changed much for the last week and doesn't look like it's changing for this week. Highs in the 70's to the low 80's, mostly sunny and little to no rain for the week.

Not much planned for today. One of the neighbors is having a get together for lunch today. So we are going up to visit with some of the other neighbors.

Eric ... I like the picture. Do they have mutton busting in the UK ?

Wishing everyone the very best.
CWB.

Eric, great picture!
.17 since midnight but it’s picking up now, rain all day with increasing winds to 30 mph from the NE. High 71 today.
Forecast for Friday through a Monday is rain and wind, both heavy at times.
I gotta make sure the tractors and generator are all working.
My big worry is a tall pine that died from last years fire, guy was supposed to take it down all summer, guess what?
Have a good day folks, Lord bless you all.
