Nothing so far. It appears to be going northeast of us. Happy for us, but feel for those further north!

Wind has only been about 25-35 mph. We are on the very fringe of the main event. The wind did knock down some damaged tree limbs, and I just cleaned them off the road. I've been looking at these dead limbs for a few weeks, hoping that they would drop. Well, they have!

Was thinking the same thing this morning when I checked in. So Sparkey what you been up to lately? Guess ole Jon is getting wet in SC and looks like another storm may be heading his way. Am heading out again this weekend for a little R&R in the mountains. Only will be gone for three days,

I've been pretty much flat on my back since Saturday morning. Put my back out. Not bad, just six months since the last time!

Gee Jon, thats too bad. Hope you get over it quickly. I went through a bout with my back about 3 weeks ago. Am finally over it. Think it happened when I was unloading bales of hay. Think I'll let Betty unload the next truck load. :lol: :lol:

I was cutting out stumps, in an area I cleared out next to my driveway. I want to put grass there. More to mow!

The bushes there were getting out of hand. Branches were growing into the driveway, impacting my parking spot for my truck. These bushes were about thirty feet high. I cut them back about three feet from the driveway. I left the rest there, because they screen a telephone/power pole.

I hope to be back on my feet by the end of this week.
