Good morning!!!!

[PJSprog]

71°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 94° today.

I only have stepsons, but they are definitely more outgoing than me, especially the oldest, who's never met a stranger. Wife says he's always been like that. Even as a little one sitting in the shopping cart at the grocery store, he'd flirt with every woman who got near him. Most people are more outgoing than me. I've always been something of an introvert (back when it was just called shy). If I hadn't become a working musician, I might never have met anyone, as everyone wants to talk with the guys in the band. In fact, with the sole exception of The Wife, everyone I've ever dated initiated the contact with me.

Every one is so polite around here I wouldn't get to use an air horn. We have a emergency siren on top of there hill in the neighborhood and it is tested the first Saturday of the month at 11:00 A.M. This is the first place I have ever lived that had a audible alert. Does anyone else have an emergency alert siren they can hear at their house? We are about 30 minutes from Jarrell Texas where they had that terrible tornado in 1997 - 260 mph winds 27 people died. I'll have to inquire if that is when we got the alert sirens.

We can hear the sirens from Trenton at our place, but only if we're outside. As I have always understood those warnings, that was the intended purpose; to warn people who are outside of potentially dangerous weather.

Edit: we're about 4 miles north of town.

No firm plan for day yet.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

We have a warning siren about 1/3 mile from our home. Does a test run every Saturday a 1 pm. Shortly after that my whole house generator does it's weekly 20 minute run.

We have the warning sirens here, but I'm not sure if or when they are tested, and while one is within a mile of my house, I likely wouldn't hear it if I was inside.

And I guess I'd have to say that I've always been pretty outgoing. I don't think I ever got a report card in grade school without a comment "talks too much" penciled in.:laughing: And when I'd been a police officer for about 3 years, one day my lieutenant told me, "When you come in tomorrow, report first to the assistant chief in the chief's office." So of course I did, and the assistant chief told me, "We're going to try something new. We've never done any recruiting, except a short ad in the newspaper, so we've decided to try some active recruiting and want someone who likes the job, looks sharp in uniform, and likes talking to people." So I became the police department's first recruiter.:laughing: I was told I was being transferred to the Personnel Division and to report to the captain in that division, so the next morning, I went to see that captain and asked, "What am I supposed to do?" and he said, "That's for you to figure out, go find us some police applicants." So I did.:laughing:

We have Tsunami / CD sirens down the hill from us. Tested every month, but unless the wind is right usually don’t hear them. At 1100ft elevation, figure we’d likely see the tsunami before it arrived.

Well, got stir crazy due to rainy weather, so after pestering the wifey for a while, got into a little project. We had some left over tile from a bathroom remodel about a year ago, so we decided to take out an old Formica countertop in the laundry room and tile the area. I'll take some pics after I get the sink back in tomorrow. Think it will turn out ok.....especially for free:dance1:

Very nice, Ted. Extra special in that all that's involved is a bit of tinkering and locating those left over materials. It'll be a nice bump in sweat equity for your home as well!:thumbsup:

94 today. 74 for the low. Rain chances start tomorrow and continue till Wednesday.

Rng congratulations on the van. To a speedy finish. Then enjoy.

Glad no one received any major damage from Florence.

Currently sitting in doctors office for my 20 minute wait after allergy shots. Then headed out to a buddies house to set a no-till drill for him. Then take boys horse riding.

Spent the morning putting a bearing back in a feedline. Birds are over half grown.

Have 10 of the expected 13 calves on the ground. Hopefully the rest finish soon. Although they have till November. Started calving 9/8. 10 calves in 11 days is a nice stress reliever.

Closest storm siren is over 5 miles away. Sometimes I can hear it when it comes around if the wind is correct. Tested every Friday at noon.
