Good morning!!!!

[riptides]

64 outside this AM. heading to 66. Rough night. Lots of rain. Lots of flooding. Youngest daughter had to be water rescued about two miles from the house. I could say really bad things about the predicament...but I will not. She said water came up on her fast and the car stalled. By the time the tow truck came water was four feet deep. She is OK, got a boat ride.

I am stewing this AM.... I guess her being away for a few years she forgot about the roads around here. Car looks trashed. And that's in the dark. Sigh...

Now matter how many times you say "Be careful", or hear "turn around, don't drown"...someone always messes up.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

wngsprd - saw the museum open too on local news. Will have to head up that way. I am an Army brat.

I am stewing this AM

Mike, glad your daughter is ok. Particularly in the dark, depth of water hard to tell, particularly for inexperienced driver.
Hope the car is fixable

Ken and Paul, thanks for your offers of help. Nice to have you both nearby.
Happily, an hour late for their delivery "window" the truck finally showed up and he backed down the lane and
put the pallet with the gen on it right in my garage. Unit is physically smaller than I thought and thanks to the pallet, came with
an undamaged box. :thumbsup: It left Reno NV on Oct 22...

now waiting on some help this weekend to unbox the gen, the bandsaw and the drill press, all way too heavy for me. Did get my metal shelves painted but need to let them
dry overnight until I start piling things on them.

Ken, I like your seating. Making your own wood from scratch sounds very satisfying.

You are going to love that generator, Drew. I have the exact same generator, and I had a chance to actually use it over at the rental place recently during a power outage. We were working over there, and we needed some power. Used the gasoline option, as we have not yet looked at the propane hose.

One thing was a bit of surprise, and that was that it took quite a while before it would start. I had the gas turned off for storage, and of course I turned it on before starting it. However it seemed to take a good 5 to 10 minutes before the gas drain down into the carburetor and got into the engine. Then it started fine and ran great!

Do you keep us posted on how you like it.

3.47” since 2 pm yesterday, still raining and 64 now.
Rip, glad your daughter is OK, my stepdaughter did the same thing a few years back. My daughter and her friend didn’t do that but, they got lost in DC after a concert about twenty years ago, I’m lying in bed at 1:30 am talking them out of the predicament. Other places I’d rather be lost.

Gotta get moving, I’ll check in later.

Have great day, prayers for all.

I spent most of my working life in construction running and working on big equipment so had my share of aches and pains. One time I really messed up my back and on the advise of a good friend went to a chiro. which seemed to work for a while but then I developed a pain in a hip that kept getting worse, he said I have a special treatment for that and laid me out on his table and gave my lower back a big hard twist. Was out of work for a week before my wife found an exercise on the net that had me up and running in no time. Since that time I have found that stretching exercises, often with guidance from physical therapists helps me more than anything. In short I would avoid a chiropractor after my experience and observing friends go through the same thing.

Chiropractors are Quacks. They tried to establish a Chiropractic College here at York University in Toronto, and we wouldn’t let them.

Coffee is done brewing. 23° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 51° with sunny skies. Got my aunt home yesterday. Got colder as day went on. Was not dressed for it. Stayed in house rest of the day. Dr appointment this morning.
I was never in the service. MY Dad, WW1. 2 brothers, Vietnam. Oldest son, Desert Storm. Thank goodness they all came back in one piece. Thanks to them and all other veterans for their service.
Talked to may Aunt and Uncle that was in hospital over weekend. See was moved to a rehab center. 14 days of quarantine and no visitors. She is climbing the walls. Uncle and cousin are negative. Cousins wife is getting better at home.
Using tail for balance.

Riptides, the good new is your daughter is safe.

Drew, I told my new Ear Dr. not work about my Tinniest at this time. It does not affect my everyday life or sleep. My problem is Meniere's disease. Getting treatments for that. I can now understand words being spoken in that ear after first steroid treatment. But volume is very low.

David, like the color.

Buckeye, glad you made it home safe.

LS, hope all the stress goes away.

Wngsprd, another shot today. Some pain when injected. But goes away by the time I leave office. Dr did not show me the needle used for injection. But it must be small.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

It's that time of year again when my wife wants the HEAT on in the morning and the COOLING in the evening. Nice sunny weather in mid-day but we'd sure like to have some more rain.

My problem is Meniere's disease.
I have same thing Ron, luckily no vertigo. 80 percent hearing loss in left ear, and what comes in is highly distorted, plus varying levels of ringing and rushing noises.
I can hear every heartbeat in my left ear...swush, swush, swush. Just try to tune it out. Effects of steroids minimal and did not last. Sure hope you have better luck.

thanks Check, going to fire it up this Sunday, on propane first. Have two electric heaters I can plug in for test.
Good to know about long gasoline delay, some carbs seem to take forever to fill up.

Good morning, the temp is 31ｰF and the high will be 46. Wind WSW 4 mph. Partly cloudy. Indian summer is winding down quickly to more normal temps.

A dump run and town trip today and putter around outside doing the small stuff in preparation for winter.

That is a good pic of the tree rat, Ron.

Have a safe day all
