Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 46° with cloudy skies and a good breeze. Heading to 53° with clouds and rain in afternoon. If wind dies down I need to pick up a lot of tree limbs that have broken off trees in yard. Going to be a good day to finish my TV antenna project. Have to move furniture to get at box mounting locations.
Good Morning All.

4.26 inches of rain from this system so far, a little more today but that's quite a system, I assume from the hurricane, that is headed right up through Charleston (that town is going to be damaged from this) and up into the interior of the Carolinas, not the coast. So the amount of rain still coming this weekend is unknown. We've had 6.5 inches so far in the last week, sure hope it's not much more coming. But thankfully, no flooding downpours. Of course, I have not looked out this morning to see if the turtles had floated away in the night but unlikely.

Not sure of the agenda today, my guests may go home today or stay another day.
We had a wonderful trip on a very rainy day yesterday to a commercial dock/fishery at Swans Quarter, about half way East to the Outer Banks. I found the docks by looking for the tall masts of the shrimp trawlers, and easy to find in a small town. Shrimp was caught yesterday morning, we saw it coming off the boats, then into the pot that night but gosh that was good. Had some for shrimp cocktail and some I cooked in butter and wine over pasta. All I needed was a Bubba's Shrimp hat...

and when we got home lo and behold, on Terrapin Track Road there was a turtle in my driveway. Nice little box turtle, let me pick him/her up and out of the way.
SNAP. Oh boy, no box turtle this one, neck shot out and went for my finger in lightning speed. Ah, you are a little snapping turtle, not a box turtle. Several attempts to get him picked up were clearly dangerous so he got moved with a shovel.

64 going to 76. I know everyone is laughing, but that is cold around here. :thumbsup: Hope to get lots done on the run in, will have the wifes help holding boards. She is helping me today, and I have to help her tomorrow. Hmmmm, guess I will be scrubbing toilets :laughing: Her brother and his wife will be coming for a visit next week so we have to get the guest room ready and she is wanting to roast peppers and can salsa.

Drew, how are you holding out with the weather? I hope none of the turtles swam away this time, and the trees are standing strong. The pecan trees are losing their leaves around here.

Don, you forgot to mention that you feel better, have more energy, and look younger by eating the way you do... now if I could just give up the awesome fruit pies my wife makes I might be able to lose weight. :licking:

Hope everyone is having a Great Weekend

49 and raining, going to 61 and raining some more. 8 straight days of rain, so far.

Kev, roasting peppers sounds good.

When it flooded so much here in Texas back in the spring, I saw more than a few snapping turtles on the roads. My wife and kids took a pic of one nearly a foot long on our driveway.

Those shrimp look big and tasty! What a treat. Do they measure them by size to sell them? Here, they size them such as 21-25's, meaning 21 to 25 per pound. I like the bigger ones. Fresh caught. Those they are peeling look BIG.

Our high school football team is 5-0 beating another team having a down year. We are good, but the defense could use some more snaps and get some key players healthy.

Good Morning! Fall has finally hit with a cool 52˚ heading only to the mid 80s.

KveT, "Look younger"??? I think one would (as Eric said) need to "lubricate the imagination" first.

48 this morning and headed to 56 today. 50% chance of rain today had .08 inches yesterday. A couple very cool days.

Fairly good day yesterday. Got the disc all greased and started discing. Got about half the field disced then had a brush pile in my way. I'm tired of going around it, so I go get dozer. Move brush pile. Look up and see a tree lodged over in another tree from a storm this summer. Go dig it out and push it down. By this time it's raining. So no more discing. So I started cleaning with the dozer. Built a ditch crossing, smoothed some washouts and move some more trees.

So today I'll be back at it. Need to take chainsaw with me today to cut off root balls as I'm going to use some of what I'm cleaning up as firewood. At least a half a day. Have a family reunion at 4. Yearly fish fry. Should all be Florida fish too. Mainly Crappie.
