Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.9C and it's presently dipped down to 4.7C [heading up to 15C], partly cloudy and calm.

I'm up fairly early to help a Mate for the better part of today. A great excuse to get off my backside. I'll leave here in about a half hour.

That's about it, take care all.

Thanks for posting the videos. I think people who aren't around rivers that are subject to flash flooding have a hard time comprehending how fast water can rise. There appeared to be much higher damage from prior floods on some of the trees.

I've seen water rise so quickly that it looked like a four foot high wave was coming down river, and sounded like the proverbial freight train. The final height was ~25' up over something like a 175' of width. It didn't take long before whole trees and houses were moving by at a fast clip.

The force of nature.

Stay safe out there.

Good morning outside puttering in the shade,but once sun came around and high headed for cooler hide out and feet up.

Plans for the evening deck with feet up wait for critters and stars until eye lids get heavy.

Enjoy your evening all.

Good evening all. I wanted to post this yesterday but TBN was not talking to me. 74ºF to start the day, overcast sky, moderate breeze. Light wind, some moderate gusts, Sky overcast to partly cloudy to overcast again, 2 periods of light rain resulting in trace amounts each time. The high temp for the day was 83ºF. Bike ride, rode with a faster rider for 38 miles then 23 miles of a slower pace. Did do a personal record of 50 kilometers at a 16.37 mph. After lunch just rehydrated and napped. Dinner with friends at Manuelito's.
Bill but isn't most of the price difference the relative difference between Canadian currency and US currency?
Don thanks for the update, that is such a tragedy!
Ron glad parade went well and Sassy enjoyed herself. Hope good time on back porch. Big customer on the suet cake.
Drew sorry you could hear them but not see them. Hope swimming went well. The area around Kerrville very similar to the Ozarks, hills and thin soils result in high run off rates. The rivers have large drainage areas so 5-10 inch of rain over large area really change rivers.

Coffee has been poured. 67° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 75° with cloudy skies. .51" rain yesterday evening. Pond maintenance went good. Got Trak-Vac sanded, cleaned and coat of primer on it. Spent rest of the day inside where it was cool. PT this morning. Then see how I feel to decide what I will do when I get home.
This is what happens when Hens show up.

Good morning, the low is 57 and going up to 72°F. Wind NE 9 gusting to 26 mph. Still raining from noon yesterday. :(

While I am out today I need to find a piece of 1/8" steel 38X72". That wont be cheap. :(

I also need to go into Canadian Tire and get me some spreader spatulas for bondo. It is time to hide the rust on my money pit.

Drew, a cricket in the house is supposed to bring good luck.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
Ron you are up early
gosh, not a very good weather forecast, seems that tropical storm is heading North
and anywhere between 1-2 inches of rain and 5 inches are predicted for later today
definitely an inside day, flood watch just posted

something tells me flood watches are going to be posted a lot faster after the tragedy in Texas.
maybe they need sirens or better civil defense alerting near the River?

no plans for today, will make a brief shopping trip this morning
