Good morning!!!!

[Ed of all trades]

Randy, just be glad, when I had shingles they were on my side and in my mouth. My side was nothing compared to my mouth. Ed

Eric, so far you are in first place, my wife likes your fancy dress idea, she also wanted to tell you you have a very cute grandson.
Now I'm going to have to figure out how to make an instant pot costume. I may have to ask assistance from the "Art Club".

Good morning! We are under a flash flood warning, rains expected most of the day. 73˚ to 77˚ today.

Roy it looks like you can wear 5" off that rubber blade before you need a replacement edge. It will be interesting to hear next spring how much of the blade you rubbed off to get an estimate life of the edge.

Don, so Mrs going as an Insta Pot? You can be Herr Friar.

HA ha.

However I'm having second thoughts of going as an Instant Pot, you know, a pressure cooker in a crowded area is a different kind of scary after Boston, maybe not in good taste.

65 this morning and headed to 69 today. Rain for most of the day. Need to check gauges to see how much we have gotten already.

Been hauling more hay. Still have a load or two to do. Depending on how muddy it ends up being after today and how much dad hauled with the smaller truck.

Cows started calving last Sunday. Had 5 as of yesterday. Need to check them today.

Spent most of yesterday at the main fundraiser event for the horse therapy place. A horse show. Boys did good and had fun. Weather didn’t cooperate as it rained all day off and on. But was at an indoor arena. So just staging was outside.

Looks like fun times in Hawaii.

East coast not so much fun this week. Big cone of uncertainty.

The state of North Carolina declared a state of emergency on Friday to free up funds to allow farmers to harvest early. The way this storm is tracking, it is not going to make the usual northward turn due to a large high pressure system stuck over Bermuda. This brings it though the Piedmont and into the mountains. Floyd dropped 12-18 inches of rain as far west as Raleigh and 6-8 inches in the mountains.

per my local resource...who has lived here awhile.

well...oil changed in generator, put smart charger on battery since it was throwing off a battery code, though it started fine.
Then burned the burn pile, geez that was unpleasant actually on such a hot day...but with that hurricane coming I needed an empty burn pile, not a full one.

45mph winds predicted for Friday now, not Thursday. Looks like this mess is a slow mover...

Believe me, since they didn’t get in the eye itself, I’ll tolerate the eyelid swollen like a balloon. Mine mainly affected the eye area and half my scalp and forehead and in my sinus cavity on that side. The burning and random shooting pain was it’s worst for about the first ten or twelve days. It appears I’m well into recovery now, thankfully.

Here ya go Don. Combines singing and dancin’.

I'm a little “InstantPot”
Short and stout
Here is my handle
(one hand on hip)
Here is my spout
(other arm out straight)


When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
"Tip me over
and pour me out!"
(lean over toward spout)


I'm a clever teapot,
Yes it's true
Here let me show you
What I can do
I can change my handle
And my spout
(switch arm positions)
Just tip me over and pour me out!
(lean over toward spout)

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap
more!

Looks like everyone had a productive day, from grandkids, snow plows, and the weather guessers sure are extra busy. We got rain all night and most of today. Small creeks are flooding. 58°, that is cold for this time of yr, and 90s just last week.

Olive garden for lunch. Food was ok, but a lot higher price than the local place we normally eat at.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Tried to go to evening service, and got stopped by flooded road.

Lots of roads closed right now, and they say it will get breezy so expect power outages. Lights flickered once.. And this ain't the big storm....

 

[Ed of all trades]

We got 2.22 in of rain today and .90 yesterday, the most we have had here in a while. Pool is getting full and the NWS is calling for more rain, even before the big one.

Randy glad you are improving, pray it continues.

Have a good night, prayers sent. Ed
