Good morning!!!!

Up here in my township you cannot legally own any 'exotic' animal.
Back in the 1950s there was a postman in Oakville, ON that had 2 gators in his basement. When they got to 10' long he got rid of them. I can just imagine what that house smelled like.

apparently it's now official our two astronauts are marooned on the space station.
Marooned is not good.
News says six months more, likely when SpaceX can send a rescue rocket up.
what a fail for Boeing. I bet it will come out that they barely made it there without blowing up
and no one has faith in the rocket to get them home safely. Their plans were for ten days...
Thank goodness for SpaceX.

though all those internet satellites they put up there sure aren't working right this morning.

Boeing has a new CEO. Good luck.
We need them to succeed and remain a world standard.
Otherwise Airbus and Xingping airlines will own the world.

tornado watch just raised.
1-2 inches coming in as expected.
hope to be home before that starts.
time to get moving

From time to time we have Drew just been a while

good morning, 74 going to 83 and raining with tornado watch as well until 2 PM

checked on the neighbors pond and good news is it is not overflowing. Had at least 3 inches overnight but gradual rain fall I guess to where it did not overflow

A large tree branch came down as I was walking Cody with a big crash from a tall pine tree. Thankfully we were not under it.

Good Morning
77°, 92% RH this morning. Rain and thunderstorms likely.

Yesterday, I took care of a few details, but mostly cleaned up in the old folks home. The Urethane foam contractor was putting cardboard baffles in place and covering things up getting ready to spray. I’m guessing he has at least another day of prep.

Went out with wife and finalized decisions on flooring, both hardwood and ceramic, as well as the tile for the shower and quartz for the countertops and island.

This morning I have to head down to Philly to meet with a prospective buyer for one of the turboprops. Should be interesting, I’m curious how it will go.

I wonder if Frits is down checking out his driveway soon.
This is coming right over him

Yes I am checking on it during every rain fall.The mods the neighbor did helps up to a point but will overflow during high and sustained rain falls. The creek that flows through the pond originates up the mountain at the AT trail. The ground up there is very dry and suspect it sucks up a lot of water that limits the flow through the pond. It is amazing how much water trees can absorb

The ground here locally soaked up a lot of the rain due to drought and the rain started off slowly. Last night was hard rain for several hours almost three inches of the 4 plus we got. Pond is not muddy just full. We are still down over an of rain for the year

Good Morning,
Ct, 66 to start going to 80 if the sun pops out, but I doubt it, we are pretty docked in a giant cloud !

Dennis, thanks , I didn’t even think of checking your equipment list ! Nice looking machine when new ! My C-125 looks more heavy duty than your machine but they had quite a good product back in the day !

Looks like we could possibly have tornadoes here tonight, at least a watch for them ! So first on the agenda is to remove pool umbrellas etc !

Drew, I’m really impressed with all your planning for this trip, and wow that’s a lot of fuel ! You definitely are paying attention to detail!

Better get moving , got some things that need to be done before the winds pick up around noon !

Hope all have a great day !

A little something to keep those cool that are dealing with 90-100°F heat.

That was a good video clip, it sure showed how much the snow "game" has changed over the years with the increased horsepower and speed available today.

another 1.42" of rain since midnight. Was at 1.4 when I went to bed last night, not sure how much more before midnight. 3.85" for the week.
Radar showing the bulk of the rain now in central PA, but there is a long tail of heavy rain still below us, just to the east. Son has to drive thru it to get to work. Most of the rain went to our west, as predicted.
