Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

I'm behind by a few days. Need to catch up.

We just got our first band of rain from Beryl at 2:50 pm. More coming.

Expecting gusts up to 60mph tomorrow.

I went and got my mother, who lives in Victoria. The primary threat for her is multiple days of power outage. Claudette and Harvey had power outages of over a week. So many old trees tend to fall on the lines.

Where you live will be a big factor of the rain/wind you get. TxDon might get very little, as he is about 70 miles northwest of me. Those east of me might get 8" or more. I'm hoping for some rain.

God has recently answered some prayers for two different people I know. Prayers for our team, our nation, Ukraine and Israel.

Is that a Bucyrus I see in one of those pics Lou?

That's an old Dynahoe 190-4, a beast of a digging machine when she was in good shape. It needs more work then I'm up too now days.

Didn’t they have a Detroit? 4-53?

Good day today. Good worship service this morning, and a good meal at the usual Italian place afterwards.
Stayed inside and watched youtube this afternoon, then back for a church meeting and evening worship and class.
recycle is out for tomorrow, stomach filled with a couple more leftover Brats, kitties are feed and roaming. Still 83 deg out after 8 pm.
I did find my old small tablesaw hiding in the closet under the basement stairs, but didn't get down to see what brand. I know it's smaller than 10" blade.
guess I better make sure my projects are a go before buying new tools.

Beautiful baby, and almost color coordinated shirts.

I'm interested in getting some remote cameras so I can check in while away. Interested to see how Ring does.
are there any that don't charge you a monthly fee?

• You can use a Ring doorbell without a subscription plan, but you won't be able to save or play back video without one. You'll only be able to watch a live stream from your camera.
• The first 30 days you get a free subscription.
• Basic plan $49.99 year
• How Much Does a Ring Subscription Cost? (2024)

interesting lawsuit involving HOA and a Ring Camera.

Lots have Ring camera here no problem we also have license plate readers at each entrance.

Dennis, that is the reason I would never own property that has an association attached to it! In my daughter's subdivision, the HOA setbacks exceeded the county requirements. Someone put up a beautiful timber frame carport that matched their house.... 5' past the county's 25', but under the HOA setback by 5'. The HOA tried suing them, the homeowner counter sued, including the individual members of the HOA.
Guess what? The homeowner won, had judgments placed against the individuals for damages, and the HOA was disbanded.

That would never happen with our HOA because no carports are allowed and all building/remodeling must be approved before starting. Everyone that buys here agrees to the rules or you do not move here, you have to sign that you have read them and will abide by them. Those who lie on the form and think the rules don't apply to them soon move away.

Good Evening,

are there any that don't charge you a monthly fee?

Drew, my ring is pretty cheap ! I think Don just posted the cost !!Nothing is really cheap or for free these days !

Took Kathleen out on the lake for an early evening cruise! Really nice as sun was setting!

Ted, good work persevering in that extreme heat !!

Hope all had a good weekend!

Good (Monday) morning. The 'cold snap' is over; the overnight Low was 4.6C and it's presently 14.0C, overcast with a wee bit of rain. There was 2mm in the gauge @ 0900.

So, it's a dhobi day... although there's not much to do there. I'll call my plumber later on to get the burst pipe (out at the 'shed tank') fixed. Actually, after 11 years of service, I might as well have him plumb new the 'spare' pump in, instead of waiting for the current one to fail.

That's about it, take care all.
