40 heading to 70 and sunny. October is typically the driest month unless a hurricane comes through, and my rain gauge agrees.
Congrats to your son, LS.
Don, sounds like you have quite the activity in your yard, at night, I presume. Yesterday, when I looked outside after it started getting light, there was a red fox curled up near my truck. Gone by the time I went outside to feed the birds a few minutes later. Trail cams have given us a peek into animal activity that we never knew was going on in our yard at night.
Split the magnolia wood I had cut, stacked it in the pallet, and brought the "leftovers" that wouldn't fit to the rack I had placed back onto the porch. Too windy to clean the chimney, so that's next.

good morning, 39 going to 67 very dry around here and will be sunny day
Kids, grandkids, friends mostly all day here. Was a good day wife was happy
The GD that we picked up in our 70's when our daughter was in long term rehab is very close to us. She is now back after daughter has recovered. We could not imagine how we could possibly raise another child at our age but we did it. Everything was new for her since she had lived for the first few years of her life in a basement with her drug addicted parents and never been outside.
But it was the most wonderful experience to teach her, play with her and see her face when she experienced the normal things in life. Like first seeing the night sky with stars for instance was a wonder to her.
The two pictures below show her first when she lost her front teeth and then when she was so proud the first tooth tried to poke through

Morning all!
All this talk of ash and magnolia getting cut split and BURNED is making my heart ache!
32 going to a sunny 60 today.
Out for lunch with friends today who moved up into a retirement complex in NH.
Been spending most of my days fighting the falling leaves! Spent 6 hours yesterday on the vac, back pack blower and hand raking. Yard still looked covered after I finished! Can't wait for it all to be done. Pile is now bigger than my tractor!
Did get into the shop when the days were to windy.
The first two were harder to make. The last three were just little practice pieces. Tried some offset stuff for the covers. Also working on a bigger project in between.
Happy birthday and anniversary to all celebrating! Drew glad you made it home safe! Was fun following along.
That's it for now.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Good morning TBN!
41 going to 75 today with plenty of sun.
Spent the morning so far reading the DIY forum for inspiration. Amazing what ya'll come up with and execute.
Waiting to hear if my sons car is finished to see if he is going to be here from Ohio today.
I am going to get diesel this morning and most of the day will be fiddle farting around.
Worked on cleaning up more downed debris and moved some more gravel around yesterday but otherwise pretty laid back.
Finish my coffee and away I go.
Have a great and safe day!!

Happy, i used to live in Washington in Beaufort Co. Where are you in NC?
because you guys recommended them, I looked up Discount Tire and check out the message I got:
Continue to Tire Rack?
It looks like you’re more than 75 miles from our nearest store.
Head to Tire Rack to shop for tires, wheels, and accessories online with local installation options across the nation.

35 outside right now, heading to 70. Looks like a nice day in shape setting the stage for a nicer weekend. The cool down looks to have started.
Don't like it dark in the morning. Like it less in the evening. Just like longer daylight days.
Road trip again this AM. Sigh, now I find out that my in-laws are having carpet come in next week. Which means we are tagged, once again to be there. And it appears the house has interest with the carpet that is already present. I hear contracts are in the works. This whole in-law thingy is so backasswards it's a full circle jerk. My BIL is coming up from FLA later today. He is going to freak out when he sees what "needs" to be moved back to FLA. I hope to be elsewhere when he sees his predicament. Last yard sale is this weekend, I have one bed a daughter wants to keep, so that goes south when we finally get out of the house.
Well, all this will pass....hopefully next week. My goodness, I just cannot get over how totally unprepared my in-laws are for this stage in their lives. It's selfish and just plain wrong to have put this on their kids and families. Just so wrong. It is a good lesson for me though, not putting my kids through something like this.
Enough rants. Enjoy the weekend, be safe. See you all next week sometime. Oh, I guess my neighbors 25 acres sold sometime in the last week. Saw some trac-cat like vehicle cleaning up the property and heard lots of chain saws. The acreage and a 2 bedroom house, close to 800k, if not over. Ouch.

Rip, travel safely.
as a retired financial planner, I can confirm that many folks have real problems dealing
with their last premises and their eventual demise, even getting a will and medical power of attorney is challenging.
but before the end, many of us will have extended need for assistance of some sort.
Ignoring that is pretty dumb unless you have a family property like Popgadget where your kids live there
also. He built his plan, pretty smart.
lot of what ifs like stroke, dementia and parkinson's
not making a plan and then being a serious burden on your kids and even their kids
is not good.
having too much money tied up in real estate later in life creates cash flow risk for survivors.
Security includes liquidity.
we all want to get to the point where we don't worry about money any more. Some have.
I expect to run out of time before savings. Not having kids makes this much simpler.

Good morning, the low is 37 and going to a high of 57°F. Wind SE 7 mph. Mostly cloudy with a few showers.
I've got three scripts that I need to renew today. I'm not out, but on the one I wont last another month.
The quack gave me 9 refills on all of them.
I have finally figured out the Ontario drug plan for seniors. I pay $100.oo in August and another $100.oo in February, after that it is $6.11 per script. (dispensing fee) I am going to try and work it out so that I only pay $100.oo per year. It all depends on the maximum number of goobers they are allowed to dispense at a time.
Today is another energy conservation day.
Have a safe day all

Ahh...yes....sound reasoning.
My MIL went to talk with an Estate planner, yesterday.
From what I know, not from the planner, I told the in-laws YEARS ago to move assets around.
They never did, and now it is too late.
The person care they require NOW, is all out of pocket on THEM.
Guess who is bridging their bills?
There are some good threads on TBN with invaluable real-life advice. Personally, well right now, those threads are super important to me. Thank goodness for you all.
