Just a ton of rain. I think 10 inches. A lot of down trees limbs.

Glad you didn't have worse. I still have the steady wind out my window. I can hear it blowing through the trees.

I had an older neighbor come and tell me that he loved my big boobs bouncing around when I mowed and that he watched me every time

Then the crazy lady next door who thought I was trying to poison her with well water from my sprinklers

I didn't go out much after the two of them.

Lucky I was not your neighbor.

That’s awesome. Glad that you made a great decision and are happy with the results!!

Yep. I can't wait for you all to see

Good lord a stationwagon !

I'm getting the idea that all of us are lucky you're not our neighbor. (Ignore).

Good times.

Proper knackered. Been busy walking shops. You dont need lawn sprinklers with this rain, lol.

I love yard work when it's not to hot. I used to have a beautiful yard until crazy neighbors. I get it from my mom.

I do too but I have been sick and can't do it right now

We all need to be better at taking care of ourselves. Took me a heart attack to move myself up on the importance list

I too have memory issues to the point of I'm forgetting things more & more. I know the diagnosis, but I'm not saying here because it would upset my friends. I have medication to slow it, but it's enviable.

The damp warm compress on your eyes will help with the eyes ducts. As people age the oils solidify so the warm compress helps keep the ducts functioning. Usually creates a blurry vision if the oils solidify...

Really soothing too. My optician gave me what feels like a bean bag but mask shaped. Thirty seconds in the microwave, and used occasionally at the end of the day when the eyes are tired. Has me asleep every time.....lovely

Lqndscaper did a great job.... will post pics tomorrow after he mulches...... best money I have ever spent

Great news after all your angst!

Good morning or evening all. After 24 hours heavy rain and w8nd it’s fine. I got the dogs out and fed without rain gear. A day at the desk now dealing with other people’s kerching £$.

 

[Rj_1954]

Bed time for me 1:00 am, see you in about 6 or 7 hours...

Missed you too @Lilianna23. I do need a nurse to look at these bites on my leg....don’t think they are infected but.... May I get you a drink....I can even stretch to champagne!

Oh, G! What have you done to yourself now? Come over here and let me look at your legs. (Snaps on gloves)

Morning everyone!View attachment 2373711

Awww! I love this, OM!

 

[Lilianna23]

We got the order correct, I think. THat Damned Kitten is sitting here watching me type. Ethyl is holding down the fort Back East. Fred is kind of grumpy because I'm rooming in her room, and so is TDK. The other kittens are good, the baby goats are awfully damned cute, the chickens are good, the horses are pleasant as always. Wat has to go back East tomorrow.


We were coming home on Saturday night and it was cattle throw-down night. The neighbor had 5 cows get out. THey're Angus cattle, so it takes some paying attention to see them. So there's that but of excitement. It makes Life Away From Town entertaining.

Sounds like a rodeo!

 

[Lilianna23]

Ooohhh..tell her the wall story......

The wall story??? I bet it's a good one!

 

[Lilianna23]

I made it through but for the most thing they behaved except for people falling down into ditches and creeks and hurting their backs...... then reinforcing by cutting up logs with a chain saw..... Can't keep a good man down....

I did read about W doing this! Then, he takes a nap on the couch!

 

[Dunes_et_Soleil]

Awww! I love this, OM!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
It's great isn't it! Wow, really... yes,
although perhaps I have reached my coffee limit for today

 

[Lilianna23]

Happy Monday!!! Day Last here Out West. Tomorrow is Drive Day. Today is build some shelves day, and probably load the damned things. I salvaged some cabinets several years ago and used them for years Back East, and then took them down and moved them Out West and reinstalled them. After a few months, the sumbitches fell apart and off the wall, damn them. So I'm making replacements, and they are going to be Weapons Grade.


On forgiveness: it's not important that you forgive me. If you do, that's a bonus. But it is absolutely crucial for my life, my soul and my sanity that I forgive you. I will never be settled if I don't.

Did you get your shelves built, Wat? I bet they're hurricane, tornado, and earthquake proof!

 

[Lilianna23]

Our job was to avoid hitting them in the road and to call the neighbors. Their cows, their issue.


I did feel kinda sorry for the two large calves that seemed to be genuinely scared.


Is it still rustling if you find them out in the road???

Um... this cow? Itfollowed me home!

 

[Lilianna23]

Heard something the other day that helps me to forgive people that have really hurt me badly
"Dont expect other people to be you"
It was pretty profound.....

This IS profound, K! And really resonates with me! Thank you!

How are our Fla residents holding out? Stay safe y’all! Looks like we get the remnants by 9pm tonight. Got my gen fired up yesterday and all is well here. Got my moms fired up also. The only problem?

My dad had an electrician put in a generator feed to the breaker box for a back feed cord (suicide cord as it’s known) and left me instructions of how to hook it up.

Not actually having done it myself, I go to the source of all knowledge…U-Tooooob. If find out that my dad and his electrician buddy….well, they may have “skipped” a safety feature ( lock out kit) and I’m not exactly feeling the luv of using this thing especially with my 81 yr old mother alone and me heading back to work. So looking for an electrician to bless it or maybe redo it with a safer hookup…possibly even a new main breaker box as this one is well over 50 yrs old.

Anyone got a # for a good electrician? .

So, here is some stormy Morning Z!

Our first generator had to be hooked up to the transfer switch then started like an old lawnmower with a rip cord. The transfer switch had to be manually turned to turn off the main power and use the generator.

My husband decided that was not a good system so he bought a larger whole-house generator. He hired an electrician to put in a new breaker box with an automatic switch.

At the time, I didn't really think it was necessary. I'm glad now that I don't have to deal with it in the event of a power failure.
