Good Morning,
Ct, 38 to start going to 48 ! Looks partly cloudy with less wind this morning!

Went to our sister in laws surprise 80th birthday party last night, good sized crowd, and lots of fun talking with some old friends!

Phil, love the bowls, beautifully done !

Lou and Dennis thanks for the videos !

I've had a hankering for fried oysters for about a month now

Engineer, looks like you hit a home run on your fried oysters ! Thanks for the pics !


Off to church this morning, and then finish up some leaf removal around the inground pool later ! Then hopefully a little football this afternoon!

Hope all have a great day !

good morning all
slept in, very tired from entertaining last night and what a mess to clean up after friends left.
Turkey was good, moist and juicy though I didn't heat it up quite enough.
homemade cranberry apple pie for dessert was perfect, made with very little sugar.
We were all stuffed.

no plans for today, just want to veg and do as little as possible.
high of 55 in sun and clouds.
ten day forecast shows very cold weather ahead, five mornings in low 20's.
The time has surely come to drain my outside hoses, but maybe I'll get to wash the rv one more time.
Today and tomorrow look like last of warm days, so perhaps that's what I'll get in to later.

Good morning, the low is 29 and going to a high of 34°F. Wind NW 6 mph. 30% chance of flurries.

Belated Happy Birthday, mphams' wife!

Happy Birthday, scott_vt S-I-L!

I think I will conserve energy today. Waiting for the snow to come. Maybe we will get lucky and it will pass north of us. I'm not holding my breath.

Have a safe day all

Good morning! 61˚F heading to 80˚ with S wind. No rain in the 10 day forecast.

The potatoes I planted 2 weeks ago are up in the back yard. I will probably let the horticulture garden go back to the club to rent to someone else since I now have plenty room in the back yard.

The uncovering of the burner in the fire pit had several problems. The pipe to the burner was rusted and the on/off valve did not turn on the gas, it must be shut off somewhere in the attic. I can't fin any instructions and the last owner did not use the fire pit according to the neighbors. The burner itself seemed to be in good shape, but won't know till I can get the natural gas flowing. Another project.

was watching a video of the damage caused by Hurricane Helene to Black Mountain NC, pretty much due South of Buppies.
one of the silver linings after all the human tragedy and loss is the unvealing of new geological attractions due to erosion caused by rivers and
streams in that area. All those different rock strata, this video showed the discovery of an old stream bed that had been silted over by ten feet of soil.
lots of field trips by high school earth science classes in mind.

I always wanted to be near the water and not in the water.
But if you live downstream of a reservoir, I'd sure take an interest in where the water goes when a "fusegate" lets go on the dams.
When I go up to my friend's cabin in the Catskills over more than 50 years, I have witnessed the Margaretville supermarket get totally washed away, twice.
if you live in/near the mountains, the area is beautiful but knowing where you are in the watershed would help planning.

We had a famous restaurant in town called Odettes, named for Odette Myrtle, a washed up
tarted up Broadway hasbeen resting on her marginal reputation, who ran a French restaurant in New Hope, right on the
Delaware River. I started working there at age 15 bussing tables. Made very good money but knew my boss was a miserable human being
who didn't mind serving smelly old hamburger to the staff.
Building was wrecked in Flood of 1955 and rebuilt.
Wrecked twice again in floods and last time the owners simply gave up.
They took half the stone building that remained and moved it half a mile away to lot in town and made an info
center out of it.

Anything that gets built along the river now is raised way up there, first floors can only be garages.
Right now with drought it's really low, sandbars and river bottom showing.
will take a lot more than what we just got to fill it back up again.

worst time for floods to come if there is ice on the river.
Then the ice crashes into property and homes in my area and further South on Delaware River, usually wrecking homes
in Yardley.
hard to imagine when last winter it didn't even snow here enough to use snowblower.
but you just never know.

my little town could be the next Asheville NC. It was in 1955.

Good Morning
46° and mostly cloudy. High of 50 and breezy for today.

Yesterday was another day of puttering followed the recliner in front of a fire. Started with making waffles for son and DIL.

Went down to oldest son’s so my grandson could introduce me to their new puppy. He’s a Bernese Mountain Dog/Poodle mix. A Bernerdoodle? They are still wrestling with names. They were centering around Home Alone or Aviation themes, be curious to see what the final pick is.

Went to retrieve the trash cans, and discover that they were never emptied. A call to the trash company made me endure questions like “were they out for collection”, but after a very long 5 minutes or so on the phone they said that they would dump them on Monday.

Looks like the boys are coming to play music around 1 today, so I’ll see what I can accomplish in the meantime. Nothing planned, just Zoe and I hanging out until my Wife comes back from her fiber festival this evening.

Good morning, low was 40 going to 54

Fire is looking good with a lot of glows
