Good Morning!!!! 62F @ 8:45AM. Sunny. High 77F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Glad you folks in Virginia are still afloat! Florence is still packing lots of rain, so let's hope it stays that way. No word yet from my friends in New Bern, though the town made the news:
New Bern to 15 Stranded Residents: 'We Are Coming to Get You' | The Weather Channel

Ended up working on the wiring most of yesterday as the screws to mount the ignition switch showed up with the mail. McMaster-Carr is back to one day delivery in my area!:thumbsup: Wired front turn signals, positioned speed sensor on front wheel, and installed a battery and the left hand switch cluster. The rally computer fired right up, a good sign, as was a lack of smoke.:laughing:

TGIF gang!:drink:

Margie's plans got changed. Sister is having to run her mother in law to the ER. She is having some sort of eye issue. But Margie's friend called and ask her out to lunch. Just a little later. I don't have to be at work until noon tomorrow, so I'm going to grab some leftovers out of the fridge and head on out to the river camp. As soon as I get the spraying done.

Here is a look at my funky worms. You guys ever seen any like this? I had them two years ago, and didn't catch them before they had stripped the whole tree. {sorry for the fish eye. My garden camera has a big crack in the lens cover, and I bought a cheap gopro knockoff instead of another real camera}

Don't know about the worm, but that vine in the background, we have been pulling it for 15 years here. It takes over - everything.

snuck out to pick okra and cukes, did ok despite the okra being beat down. It will probably keep producing horizontally.
got soaked on way in, another dumper, am just close enough to storm that it keeps throwing off bands of serious rain

70°F and 1.24 inches rain. Sun trying to peak thru.

Florence pics looked ugly last night. Hope for respite.

80th Birthday lunch for friend in town. Then a couple errands.

Prayers for all

Be safe
Have a great day

That is a wild grapevine. It grew up in my backyard fence and I have been tending it for a few years now. {although I forgot to cut it back last year, or it wouldn't be that close to the house} It's in the top of the big oak in the backyard. It grew into a nearby cedar tree, then made the jump to the oak. I'm leaning toward ripping it all out. Grapes are alright, but nothing to write home about.

Back in from cutting lawn. Warm and sticky out there. Noticed that some trees are changing colors. A drab brown instead of the bright colors. Will have to wait and what kind of fall colors we get.

77 degrees here at 2:30 p.m. The NWS this morning forecast a 40% chance of rain. Well, about an hour ago a downpour arrived and I can see a bit more than a half inch in my gauge with just sprinkles still falling.

You mean I could have had a winery going all these years? Don't tell my wife. LOL

Must be a look alike. Obviously more research needed on my part. Whatever I have is a choker and creeper.
