59 right now...high about 70 today.

Although I've been up since about 0600, I've been watch a series of biographical shorts on YouTube since then...mostly about WW II

Now the chores...dump run, mow and if time permits, replace a kitchen sink faucet

Good morning, no damage from the storm here, my brother in Elizabeth City just had limbs down.
Except for the Outer Banks, most of the U. S. faired well.

Car club picnic today, I’ll pick up the 100 pcs of chicken, everyone else will bring chips and pasta salad, maybe baked beans. LOL

Have a good day.

Yes, America was fortunate to only get a glancing blow. Thank the Lord.

Eric, will the remnants of Dorian now head your way?

103F predicted here. Had 3 neighbor kids spend the night over here.....

Some good college games today.

58°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 79° today.

Got the chickens and ducks fed this morning. Need to make a trip to Carlyle to pick up some feed from Tractor Supply. Grass needs to be shortened as well, but like Bird, too much heavy dew this morning. Unlike Bird, though, it won't be ridiculously hot here later today. Need to take the line trimmer for an extended walk today. Rain expected tomorrow, so that all needs to get done today.

Glad you guys on the east coast seem to have fared well.

Mid 60's now heading to 70's today. Had rain last night see if lawn dries out some before I think of something else to do. Need to fix bottom of the driveway again washed out then take loader off tractor to cut the grass
Don thinking about you last night when I was making dinner, I had a nice steak that I ended up cutting up and giving it to my dogs and I had a big plate of peppers, onions and yellow squash. Only having meat 2 to 3 times a week due to your influence lol.
Ron seat time is good therapy.
Drew good to hear you made out well.
Randy have a good time at the gathering
BEF my wife keeps the house so cold I turn the furnace off so she doesn't have it competing with the AC
Have a safe day and enjoy

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

I hope that everyone is having a decent and manageable wekend.

Dorian passed by last night with winds ~15mph and leaving ~.10” of rain, Today’s low was a mixed sun/clouds 48ºF; 60ºF presently with decreasing breeze and increasing sunshine; and I expect today’s high to reach the mid60ºF’s later. I expect to see this pattern continue till midweek next week. Dog walk #1 and the dump run accomplished I need to think about today’s plan,

“BUT . . . a heavy dew keeps me from wanting to do that early, and the heat keeps me from wanting to do it later. I reckon I'll just have to think about it awhile.- Bird

My definition of “heat” is different but the “thinking” part is similar. I hope not to see this pattern continue.:embarrassed: I need to start thinking less:embarrassed:

BEF- I hope the docs and you find an effective response to your neuropathy. I stopped all the prescribed neuroleptic seizure medications because of their side effects. I am currently taking a low dose of amitriptyline, Vitamin E, and herbals to address my neuropathy. I forget if you have tried alternative approaches in addition to the medical response. I had some + responses with acupuncture, herbals, enzyme supplements, and diet changes. I can usually “tune out” most of the “sunburn” pain, the pins & needles, and crawling bugs during the day; it’s at night when they become noticeable and mess with my sleep.

It does read like those on the mend and healing continue to mend and heal. I hope the processes continue.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

74°F and .54 inches rain. Looks to be a drier day so far. Maybe get my bucket finished. Never had good luck painting in the rain.

Wife invited BIL and his GF and a neighbor couple for dinner. Home made lasanga. Mmmm

Glad Dorian was more bluster than catastrophe.

No wonder Sears is in trouble. Went to their parts store for capacitor. No luck. Couldn’t even cross reference. And this is a Craftsman bandsaw. First safe suggestion was HD. Second was a used appliance place down the street. Appliance guy said he’d never seen capacitor with leads only terminals. Gave him the numbers, he reached over from where we were standing and pulled one out a pile of stuff, confirmed size and said ‘try this’ no charge. Works great.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

So glad to hear.

My middle daughter has been lobbying for baby back ribs. Well, they had them on sale at our small grocery store for $2.48/lb. I bought 2 racks and found an instant pot recipe. They smell good. They have to go into the oven and be broiled after instant pot cooking to sear them a bit with BBQ sauce.

We will see how they turn out.

We used to have an outside grill and a smoker, but we've gotten lazy. We're rather fond of baby back ribs ourselves, but now I just buy them ready made at Sam's Club. Of course they cost a bit more, but sure are good and without all the work. I've got 2 spare racks of them in the freezer right now.

Dave- I am happy you were able to find the capacitor replacement. All the Sears stores even close to "near here" are closed along with a few dead malls. It's sad that the once fertile farmland that got covered over by the development is now covered by the cracking tar, asphalt, and cement in those dead/dying malls.

I managed to mow 3 hours worth of "lawn" and hopefully recreated my family's "secret recipe" for Kosher semi-sour dill pickles this afternoon rather than lose myself in college FB and/or MLB on TV. BoSox is coming up and PennState vs Buffalo later.

Baby back ribs reads like good eats. It's a 2 day process when I make them. I am trying not to eat them as often.

I hope everyone's day is going well.
