Good morning!!!!

Drew- It reads like you had a good time with family. The modeled maps look bad for you with the predicted heavy rain and wind too. Traveling in heavy rain and wind is not fun. This will become another nasty, bombing NE coastal storm causing all kinds of havoc as it tracks up the CONUS coast. Take care on the roads.

Don- Does freezing Brazilian nuts affect its + effects?

I never really traveled roads that allowed for cruise control and never got into the habit of using it.

My outback with top of the line Michelins (not what came on it for sure) grips like a leech. I have intentionally tried to make it
loose grip and it hasn't. Have driven it on glare ice and through heavy rain. The car has far more capability than I, the driver is the limiting factor. I've driven big trucks and firetrucks, know enough not to drive faster than sight distance and in heavy rain that may not be far.
I have never minded driving in bad weather, you grow up in the country in the snow belt and drive firetrucks and knowing your limits is critical.
Life is all about grip...in that case, not losing's one grip... And avoiding others that do. That's the scary part.

Don is right, in heavy windy rain I'd never have cruise on. But otherwise, I'm usually one of the slower vehicles and I have adaptive cruise so I'm not going to drive into the back of anyone. Although....Subaru's Eyesight camera system is pretty feeble in heavier rain, cuts out, six different warning lights go on dash, you no longer have this this and this safety system on, etc,

If I have my wipers on intermittent, I'm liable to be on cruise. If they go on full speed I'm absolutely not going to. In the middle, a judgement call. Haven't lost control of a car in 50 years of driving, hope to not start tomorrow. Appreciate all friendly concern, I'm a retired insurance guy and I try not to take excessive risk. But my 22 trays of seedlings haven't been watered in three days and I'm headed home. The only question is how many extra hours. And please please don't have a major wreck on Rt 95. My sister just found a travel mug for coffee in the morning.
And a monstrous organic blueberry muffin to take with me. Life is good.

Slept in late, went out to TSC and a couple other errands. Really nice day, cold, but really sunny.
Really like the Steve Jobs interview.

I don't think it should but even freezer items have a shelf life.

My daughter says the liquid fertilizer we put on the garden plants has kicked them into overdrive.

I reminder her of the 84F temps that warmed up the dirt.

Y'all stay warm up there. we are back into temperate temps now.

Palm to forehead?

Bring up the menu, time is at the bottom of list, so go to it, change it. Then to exit menu, you have to scroll down further, which revealed the DST option. Duhhh. I did change time back, then put it on dst, hopefully in the fall i will remember.

I rarely use cruise.

Drove it after dark for first time (i picked it up this morning), wasnt prepared for the all red interior lights. They didnt fill the gas tank, so will go back for a fillup.

Good evening guys. Mom is back on oxygen this afternoon and feels better with it. She was panting pretty hard with out it. Hope she is able to make it to the Dr tomorrow. They are now calling for less than 3.5 in here. Have a safe trip Drew. Have not even thought about changing the clocks yet, they are what they are, for now. Have a great night Ed

Prayers for your mom, Ed.
