Good morning from a roughed up North Bluff. 76 heading to 88 no rain.
Fun few days up north and I am glad I left. I went north after the mini tornado we had here on Wednesday night. We did okay but the 2 neighbors houses got hit and in Seneca 4 high power towers from the nuke plant got knocked down or twisted up like pretzels and a farm down the road about a mile lost all of their out buildings and bins.
The people down the lane had half dozen of their church people or people they knew over there yesterday and they still did not get much done. Most were looking at the others to see how to get out of doing anything. :laughing: Blue tarp over the hole in the house roof. I took all of the junk on the driveway and picked it up that they were just driving over. His shed out behind the house is flat.
Wife and I have lots of down tree trash to pick up before I can mow so that is the plan for today. She spent the time I was gone helping the other neighbor who got hit clean up their place. You can see a trench through the tree tops in their woods where the twister ripped the tops off of the trees as it came over. We were lucky it was not worse. Brain got good use out of his new Grapple on the BobCat.
Neighbor Butch came over last night and gave me some post was Lionel train stuff for watching his place when he was gone. No number on the steamer and no tender for it so I don't know what it is, but the passenger set is a 616-617-618 Flying Yankee Streamline Train Set from the 30s that needs a lot of work in the motor. I will need to post a picture of the steamer to see if some guys on the train forum can ID it.
Best get going.
Have a good day.
I will have to catch up later, too much to do here for now.
