The rain is picking up so I'm going to get prone for a while and then do something about the 5½ pounds of ground beef in the refrigerator. Be back later

I'm back. Still need to repackage the meat and I'll get to that directly. Right now, I'm doing research for Skywise.

The meat is repackaged and I washed up a few dishes. Still doing research for Skywise and not having any luck. *sigh*

It's been raining -- hard to very hard -- for the last two to three hours. I've been knocked offline for most of that time and I'm going to say goodnight while I can.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Greetings!
At the moment it is breezy and sunny -- no rain!! -- and hopefully things will stay dry today! The weatherpersons are saying that the rain has moved out and the radar seems to confirm that.

They changed Skywise's schedule again at the last minute. He works today instead of tomorrow. We're both hoping it stays dry so he can cut the grass tomorrow before the yard turns into a hayfield!

Skywise is at work and I've been getting cross-eyed doing searches and copying what I can find about cb installation, particularly antennas. Smiley We're going to see if there is anyone reasonably local who installs cbs but right now, I'm going to get some tea and get prone. My brain is overloaded.....

Someone nearby is shooting off fireworks. At least there is NO danger of starting a fire tonight!

Greetings.
Skywise found Dagorhir this morning and I've been investigating the national website and the Indianapolis Chapter's website. Now I'll get caught up with everything else.

And there is a deer about 10 feet from the back door!

Greetings.
It's a cool, humid morning but at least it isn't raining at the moment. I've been up for a bit but the Queen has been in my lap and unwilling to let me type. She's having a snack right now so I'm momentarily free....

Another "demi-downpour" just moved through. We have standing water in the front yard and if this keeps up, we're gonna have to install drain pipes in the yard.

I've just completed a Projects To Do list with ten major jobs with twelve minor jobs under them. The first of the "minor jobs" will hopefully get done this weekend -- installing drain pipes under two sections of the driveway where water collects. This "minor" is under the "major" project of modifying the design of the driveway, having the driveway "re-stoned" and getting a carport. For the last seven years, Skywise has been parking the car in the Guest House driveway which hasn't always been convenient. With a two car carport and a redesigned driveway, we'll be able to park both vehicles next to the house and away from the road.
The entire project list is to be done before our vacation in September so we're gonna get cracking!

...And the sky opened up AGAIN!
While I was up at the Guest House.
Without an umbrella.....
I was doing prep work for the Bookcase project and fortunately, I had enough to do to keep me busy until the rain let up enough for me to head home. Fortunately, Spirit was taking a walk in the rain with an umbrella and we shared it coming back to the house.
The puddles in the yard and in front of the van had disappeared but are now back. The spot where Skywise said we didn't need to put in a drain is flooded and merrily draining through the "cut" I made across the driveway. I brought a "kid-sized" hoe down from the Guest House and I'll clean it and the one in the lowest part of the driveway out a little more tomorrow. Right now, I need to dry off and get some "inside" stuff done.

Got some inside stuff done and then did some outside stuff. I discovered a wasp nest in an inconvenient place while I was at it and something will have to be done about it. Not sure exactly what though. It's a new nest or I'd have been stung -- probably more than once.

Another storm passing to the south. I can hear the thunder but it isn't heading this way.

Greetings.
We made a quick run into town for lunch. Tomorrow will be the "banking and shopping" day since the girls' checks will be in.


And.... something is wrong with the A/C....
