Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[JEBar]

Ian Eve for us .... 54 on its way to 72 with rain from Ian moving in after midnight .... that rain is slated to hang around all day tomorrow with remnants hanging on to a lesser degree for a couple of more days ... this morning we are scheduled to take our Sportchassis to a car audio business to replace its OEM Pioneer dash sound system .... shopping stop at Sam's on the way .... lastly, we need to haul off our trash prior to the rains from Ian setting in

Is that a Golden Retriever in the photo ?

Yep, he’s our 14 month old pup. That pic was two days ago and now it’s 53 heading to 62. We are supposed to get up to .5 inch of rain today but so far we have only seen a short sprinkle. Golfing today up north at a higher elevation so I expect a cool day on the course. Then a nice warmup into the 70’s. Had some warranty work done on our trailer and I picked it up yesterday. We’re thinking about heading out next week for a final trip before winter sets in.

Right now it's 74° and headed to mid 80's today. I'm really enjoying this weather. I took the Harley out yesterday on errands and had a grand time. I cooked hot cereal, toast and coffee this morning. I don't have much work today so I'll just relax.

Looks to be a really nice day here.

We're getting ready to contribute to the Salvation Army for the Hurricane Relief.

The high temp in Clearwater Fl. today was an unbelievable 72 degrees. That made the cleanup of the storm debris almost pleasant.

54 balmy degrees when I got up at 5:00. Yesterday nearby areas received up to 1.5” of rain and I got maybe 1.5 drops. Funny how that works. Played golf and we had two 10 minute rain periods otherwise it was a nice but cool day.

Heading out in a few for a Forest Grouse hunt, heading up to our place near the Canadien border. We’re expecting a nice 60 something fall day. Hopefully Grouse will be on the menu.

Good luck on the hunt today HD. We are heading in to Spokey for a little shopping and tacos, then will camp at Kamloops Island tonight. Bird hunting again tomorrow maybe. I’ll honk as I go past your place;)

Sounds like a great day. I have friends in Sarasota, and they had minimal damage to their foliage. Luckily for you it went in farther south. I feel for those other folks though. I've been through enough hurricane cleaning in my lifetime and don't really want to do it again.

It was a cool 59° this morning south of the Bayou City! It felt amazing! I cooked up some eggs, bacon, toast and coffee for breakfast. I've got an errand to the post office to drop off a package and then to a school in Houston where a former student works. I'm going to donate some instruments to his band program. They don't get a budget for band. Any money he gets has to be fund raised.

T-shirt weather here for the day and then a coat at night. I’m going to mow the lawn for hopefully the last time this season and then shoot the H&R Sportsman

Well, I'm back from my last test for the VA. I had urine, blood and an X-Ray this morning.
Yesterday was audio and the day before was a physical. I'm not sure what this is all about
but the VA Rep called me in and said to get it done as some things have changed.
Finally I could get something to eat! I went up the street to Arby's and had a beef and cheddar, with
fries and a chocolate milk shake. It was really good after fasting.
On of Carol's sisters and her hubby left this morning after a two day visit. It was fun.
Another is in Esteros, Fl. and we finally got word that they're OK but have a lot of debris to
clean up and there is no water flowing from the taps. At least they're OK. We visited them
in March.

Stay safe ya all.

Companies gone and back to our routine.
Black Rifle and leftover chocolate pie.
Shop work.
Now I just wait and see why the VA called me in. The CVA Rep said things have changed
and I could see an increase. Not holding my breath.

48 now and haven’t heard the forecast yet but last I heard it supposed to be in the 70’s and sunny today. Planning unloading from yesterday’s grouse hunt and loading up for tomorrows trip back up to mow and clean up. We’re going to spend several days up at our property next week and it needs some love first.

Had a great time yesterday but only saw one grouse which was out of range for my 410 Henry. Took a shot anyway and afterwards I paced it off and it was 45 yards or so.

Ian has come (with a vengeance) and gone .... he will most certainly be remembered .... no sign of Duke Power trucks so we are setup in our camper .... only plans for today include keeping our generators running to supply power to frigs, freezers, and other critical appliances .... after hours of howling winds, its spooky still right now

Glad things are ok there Jim. Out here yesterday was just overcast and breezy with intermittent rain. So sorry for those that did not fare as well.

[Shakey Jake]

Likewise, glad everyone is safe Jim. It was pleasant 57° this morning while walking the dogs. Right now it's 68° and should be in the mid 80's today.
I cooked eggs, bacon, toast and coffee for breakfast. I'm taking the general to the airport (IAH) this morning as he's got an event to attend in KY. I think Houston is one of the few cities that you can drive 45 miles one way and still be in the city limits.

after hours of howling winds, its spooky still right now.

Sure am glad you're OK. I have many relatives and friends who I have not heard from in both
Florida and the Carolinas. I trust they are OK, just busy. Time will tell.
Stay safe.

[JEBar]

concern appreciated .... we still don't have power and still haven't seen any repair trucks come by

Up early this morning as I’m heading up to out place near the Canadien border to do some clean up. Going to mow the 4’ tall weeds and grasses, weed wack around the RV pad and remove some barbed wire we’re afraid the dog might run into. Then next week we’re going to haul the trailer up there and do some fishing and grouse hunting. First I gotta pay the fiddler but I’ll be dancing soon.

48 and very dark. Supposed to be in the mid 70’s with sunshine today. So far we’re having a real nice fall except we could use some rain.

Up early for church and then brunch.
So there is this country bar and grill that we have frequented in the past that has a sign up advertising Sunday Brunch.
Thought we'd give it a try. Wrong Sunday! Since the Viqueens are in London trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of
victory, the place was packed with heavy drinking fans. Loud!! The food was OK, and the price was right, so maybe
we'll try it again sometime.
