Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Good morning all. Woke up to the news on our radio that the hurricane paying some of you a visit has been downgraded to cat 2. The newsreader completely failed to mention that some of Florence's loss of enthusiasm for devastation must surely be down to Drew's thorough preparations

Great to hear from you again Larro and welcome to those new to Good morning.

Wonder how much longer before L4N gets back from his annual road trip ?

Don, it must have been a great feeling to get a big healthy PASS on those tests. I hope you apologised to the doctors for screwing up the control group results by massively changing diet and refusing to die prematurely Did they reveal the percentage of people who are still alive to take the tests 5 years on ?

Good morning all, 68 going to 79 with am fog and 40% chance of showers. Still need to lower the pool water whether we get much rain or not and still need to fix the fence panel. Been putting off the fence panel for about a month, tome to get it done. Watched a great movie with my wife yesterday. I Can Only Imagine, the story of Bart Millard, and the band Mercy Me. Want to watch it again soon.

Drew, David, prayers sent for your protection.

Have a great day, prayers sent for all. Ed

72 going to 82. It's been mostly cloudy and damp this week, fog in the morning and then a peek of sunshine by sunset.

Don, great news about your tests and continued involvement. You have done a lot to help us health-wise.

Ed, sounds like a great movie.

Larro, glad to see you return and hope to hear more from you.

David, beautiful rainbow. Glad the hurricane didn't damage your place. It is fun seeing the pic of Kekoa (sp?) every morning.

The rain stayed away again yesterday, so 9 more hours "in the hole" doing French drain work. Picked up another 2160 lbs of 57s gravel. Got all pipe and gravel in and overlapped the landscape cloth on top...so it is functioning. I moved all the gravel with a shovel and wheelbarrow, because the ground is so soft from rain that I decided not to drive the tractor over it. Need to go pick up one more ton to top dress one section and then top dress another section with dirt and sod I saved.

Then if the grass dries out, need to mow before the rains get here.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 58° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 78° with partly cloudy skies. Good visit with doctor yesterday. Cleared for surgery next month. Got a few things done outside yesterday. Plan to do same thing today along with washing house windows.

Don, good news on your heart health study. Glad you are continue with the study.

Those in path of Flo stay safe.

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.

Great news on your test results Don!

74° here and forecast for 83° for our high today with 80% chance of rain.

Leaving about 7 a.m. to drive to up to San Angelo for a funeral this afternoon. 5 hour drive each way. This will be a long day.

Looks like Florence has weakened a bit but, hope those in her path don’t let your guard down. A Cat 2 storm is still very serious.

Hurricane Ike hit Galveston, as a Cat 2, ten years ago today and was a very severe storm.

Have a great day!

Prayers to all.

There is a hint of good news on the hurricane, but too early to tell if it holds up.

And apparently what I saw was correct, down to 110 mph this morning, not a cake walk but better than 150 they were predicting.

Drew, prayers that it leaves our favorite Quaker in tact.
Everyone in the path of the flooding, prayers for you, and I honestly think it’s going to be a lot less catastrophic than predicted.

Going to see mom today for the first time in two weeks, still have some scabbing but I think I’m safe.

Starting to get the outer bands of Florence this morning but I feel a lot better about it today. Prayers guys, it’s not in our hands.
