Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Good morning! Up early to see if Drew caught his mermaid. Stay safe, don't risk a capture if you are going to get blown away.

Unlike Eric summer is not retreating as temps in the hundreds are predicted for the next few days. 76˚F BSR.

Had to take a Motrin at midnight after yesterdays pilates class. In the laser class we went over images but did not burn one.

The oil gets changed in the Stinger today. When I was negating the deal I had them throw in 3 years of maintenance service and got their coupon book in the mail so no pilates under the car.

Ford e-mailed, they found my truck, a saber color Ranger XLT with sport package, adaptive cruise and towing package, but I just can't get enthused about the negotiating "The Deal" when it's at some other dealers and I'm not sure on the color either as every image on the computer screen is different and ranges from orange to brown so the e-mail just reminds sitting in the inbox. I'm glad did not give them my phone number.

Don, can you do a Costco arranged deal?

well....it could have been much, much worse. Leaves, sticks everywhere, remarkably windy, out by end of road I could not stand up.
Decided it was too dangerous to be downwind of those woods, so after briefly clearing stuff off driveway, went for golf cart ride around farm, all is good
just a big stick mess. Then I went back to unclog the street drain and saw that a limb had fallen after I left exactly where I had parked the golf cart last time.
Got that cut up and decided safer to come in.
running on backup generator and backup wifi, cable is down too.

like a washing machine out there, maybe I'll wait for that little ride...
actually time to get the yellow slicker suit out

I'm just to the right of the N in Washington

glub glub glub

At least no red on the radar. {I like the new lightning triangle thing on wundermap}

Be careful Drew. All the Florida deaths from the storm were men with chainsaws.

It's going to be another warm one. Sunny, 73F with 83% humidity now. High low of 96/69F. Not working tonight, so the pull of the camp will be strong. But a pretty early opening time at work tomorrow, so I'll try to get by with a long walk tonight. No real plan for the day. Most likely something with the chainsaw.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Had to take a Motrin at midnight after yesterdays pilates class. .

The oil gets changed in the Stinger today.

so no pilates under the car.

Ford e-mailed, they found my truck, a saber color Ranger XLT with sport package, adaptive cruise and towing package, but I just can't get enthused about the negotiating "The Deal" when it's at some other dealers .

I had to take the strong med last night, after PT. A lot of activity, such as PT, is really getting the nerves irritated, and is very painful, especially in my hands, stomach and back. Did good bit of walking in PT.

Was up late due to the pain and discomfort, so slept in.

I need a set of those car lifts like Ron got to get under the Elantra. It is way too low for Pilates. But I save a good $70 or so changing the subaru oil, which is normally easy, vs the lube place.

My Pilot was at another dealer when i negotiated for it between the dealer who had it, and the dealer who didnt.

62° partly sunny and breezy.

Now to catch up on the rest of GM.

Did get out a little yesterday, helped wife mix up roundup, then drove my power wheelchair as she sprayed around flower beds and fence line.

Did get gate removed from the downed fence. One gate pin lost, will need to get metal detector out.

Need someone to pull tractor out of barn, so i can get close enough to get in it. Would love to mow field, or at least around it. My neighbor did mow along his fence on my side, which i normally keep mowed down.

72 with a heavy rain band moving in, wind is around 17-20 with higher gusts. No damage here and none expected.
Buppies, good luck on the biopsy, prayers for you and Ron and BEF,

Drew, don’t do stupid stuff and get hurt, we would all miss you. My brother in Elizabeth City has power, but it’s blinking, he’s got his generator ready.
