Sure sorry to hear that, Ron. That sounds worse than my wife's COPD and her having to be on oxygen nearly all the time.

.

I don't know what is worse. My wife is very social. Still drives and does her Red Hats and other Senior things. She does all the cooking and laundry. I have picked up her other things like house cleaning and gardening. Her speech is gone, but has good penmanship on her white board and Boogie board. Life goes on and we love each other. Not much else to ask for.
Which reminds me. Hope Riptides and his wife are doing well.

RNG, cool bumpers. Hope they never get used...
Can you do a video of how the engine sounds?
you know, mount the camera down by the back rear like the pros do?

Does is sound like a WRX STI?
The Bluesmobile....

watched a video of the new VW Westfalia Camper they offer in Europe but not here. Lots of neat ideas.

Oh my. Lots of rain to the west and south of us and floodgates on the rivers are open to the max. Marble falls lake 30' above normal. if you have a 3 story house on the rivers edge it's underwater. Lots of boats going over the dam. The Llano river is dumping into Lake LBJ and the Colorado river is running backwards. As we were watching the TV camera on the Colorado River it changed directions while still rising at 8:15 AM.

I've been looking at statistics this morning, and wondering whether I should be hunting gopher wood, or just start raising crawfish.

Our official average annual rainfall is 38.08". So far this year, we have officially gotten 44.10" while by my own gauge, I've gotten 43.88". That doesn't count the half inch I've gotten so far this morning, and it's still raining. And of course we still have 2 and a half months to go this year.

A little warmer this morning 22°, yesterday was in the mid 40' and sunny. Today will be in the low 50's and mostly sunny. They don't show any storms for next few days.

RNG ... Glad you finally got your bumpers.

Making a trip into town this morning. And hoping for a phone call about my camp trailer. I was told it would be done by today.

Hope everyone has a nice Monday.
CWB.

Good morning to all!. No rain or snow here last night, but very cloudy and cold. Only went up to 38 yesterday. High should be around 45 for today.

Don, that flooding sounds terrible! We have not heard anything on our local news about it. I hope that not too many people's lives will be affected.

RNG, glad to hear that you were able to get your bumpers! Looks good on the trial fit ups.

Drew, tractor consolidation.....sounds like a good plan. Getting equipment that makes a task easier is always good.

Ron, sorry to hear about your wife. Take care, prayers sent.

Wng, you take it easy too, back pain is not fun. Seems that unless you really baby it, it always gets worse.

Off to work today, should be an ok day. Not sure what is on the agenda, I'll find out when I get there.

Everyone have a great day, take it as it comes, and stay safe. Prayers out for those needing.

I was wondering when all that rain in Texas was going to cause a problem. Y'all sure have a dry season and a wet season. Been listening to Bird's rainfall amounts and it must be green as can be there.

Don't want to be near an arroyo in this weather. There will be fool YouTubers out there trying to record the big wave coming down.
Should be some wild white water raft riding on the Colorado. But you might be dodging boats and houses...

off to wash the truck. That should definitely make it rain.

Only flooding in the neighborhood are golf cart paths by the creeks.

RNG nice bumpers, kind of remind me of bumper car bumpers. Will you be able to tow a trailer?

34°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 60° today. Had to scrape frost from the windshields this morning. I haven't missed that.

Sorry about your Wife, Ron. Sounds like she's managing it well enough.

Meeting up with a guy after work today to buy an EQ pedal for my studio guitar rig. He had it advertised on a local Facebook music gear group for $50 like-new-in-box ($120 new in stores). He lives about 70 miles west of me on the other side of the STL area, but we both work in the city about 3 miles apart. So, that works out well. Going to try to get the new project started this weekend. Still need to get CDs duplicated for the one I just finished.
