Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Close call Fuddy. We got some gusts and .6” of rain. Nothing like the prediction.

Got the house, decks, both garages and the other two outbuildings washed and the rain hit as I was putting the tractor away. Got. The grass mowed yesterday, so I was in pretty good shape, except I’m exhausted. OMS, old man syndrome.

Glad you and all are safe Fuddy and hope that's last time of devil wind for long while.

"Use air hose clean inside of pickup also clean inside pickup windows"

Woah. You are supposed to clean inside your pickup? I had no idea.

Rumor has it.

Thanks all. I offered my chainsaw, tractor with grapple services but between our fire/rescue+power company+VDOT there are 100s of workers.
My heart goes out to the people who lost everything and it started raining again!
Here's a 2 minute aerial drone view! Our place is a short walk from there:

That is it.

And I shared that pic with the group that restored the plane.

Here’s some more.

bad weather never materialized, about a quarter inch of rain but no wind. Maybe tonight.
Just been chilling out today
Fuddy, glad you are ok, that's a lot of damage

rolled flank steak and mint chocolate chip ice cream happily consumed.

Friday night, what kind of excitement can we get in?

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Fuddy, glad you ok.

LS, I did Costco wed after my root canal. Was busy, but not like later in day. Out of some cereal.

I did get a good report on Wednesday, thanks, now onto my three week visit and new glasses for reading.

Good for you, Randy
Still some minor inflammation for me, nothing unusual

Back in 3 weeks

70° 91% humidity.
I left work at 1 when the skies were getting very dark. Rain started just as I got in car. Drove thru the storm. Had low tire light come on, stopped and looked when getting on interstate (light rain then) and it still looked round so kept going. 2/3 from home, stopped at grocery store to get ice cream to go with tonight’s strawberries, had 25# of air, so drove on home. This tire has slow leak, I been wondering when it would be low again.

Worked from home till 6

Grilled Nathan hotdogs for supper, wife made baked beans and homemade Mac and cheese, no box stuff.

Got .43” of rain, needed it.

Wife made strawberry jam yesterday. More shortcake later tonight.

My Dishy is sitting at FedEx in Ca, prophecies delivery 5/31. Exciting.

I didn’t order the rv one. Don’t want to pay for 2. Most places I camp is surrounded in trees.

 

[Wagtail]

Good morning. Overnight low of 3.5C and presently 14.8C, clear with just a whisper of wind.

And, yes, for those who are keeping score, I did get my garbage to the tip yesterday.

Take care all.

Quick edit: I checked the rain gauge and was surprised to see 0.2mm... there was fog last night so maybe that was it. It's presently 17.9C!

I don’t intend to pay for 2 either. Hopefully if the RV one works I can transfer to Residential and cancel the other order. Have 30 days for full refund.

Fuddy, I am glad it missed you guys. I am surprised at how many tornadoes have been occurring on the East Coast. I grew up in Bucks Co. Pa, never heard of tornadoes there. There have been quite a few in the last few years...A new tornado alley?

I asked in the starlink thread, someone posted you couldn’t switch.

I had a productive day! Wind held off until about an hour ago, got up to 90° though. Got 4 plants transplanted. The drip irrigation will get adapted tomorrow, and fix the post and rail fence around the bed (had to dismantle part of it to get the PHD in there). Still have the PT border logs to put in... but I haven't picked them up yet! Gotta spread the work out.... can't make it look too easy!

A couple pics:

The cinder block holes are going to get Asiatic lilies planted in them. Of course, all those bags of mulch are going to be put to good use!

Time to go get comfortable.... I forgot I got old and can't do what I used to.

Everyone have a good evening!

I never heard of tornados in my part of Ohio much growing up, but reading history, they sure had them. One took roof off barn on my ggg grandfathers barn, that became my grandfathers farm.
Then there was Xenia that got totally wiped out.

Rain, another storm.

I'm probably going to hold off on going until mid next week, early morning. Usually a quick in / out then, especially since it will be a small order ( yeah, right.... at Costco). Glad the RC is finished and your pain subsides.

 

[Buppies]

Fuddy glad you made it thru safe and sound. Prayers for those who lost everything.

Lots of rain and storms here but no Dorothy and Toto’s here thank goodness but I’m not that far away from Goode as the old crow flies

 

[Buppies]

Looked at jobs today will quote tomorrow then head south for rest of weekend.

Gotta pickup these on way out of town
For my better half
