Eric, I just saw on our evening news that a hot air balloon from Shropshire is coming to Albuquerque NM for the International Ballon Festival next week. It is a Yellow Emoji. Not sure which emoji. Have you ever seen it or know about it? Wifey instantly asked: "I wonder if that's Eric from TBN ?" Now that would be neat.

good morning all. Sheriff in one of the small cities affected by current flooding about 40 miles away said either evacuate or contact your next of kin for burial instructions. That seemed to have gotten some attention.
I'm at the very very top of this system, and darn it still in it, light rain out this morning, will continue for much of day, but seriously heavy rain inland, and the streams and rivers can't handle it.
Total of 8 inches of rain here, thankfully managed by prior dry ground so most has been absorbed by now, though still some lawn lakes, which tells me ground is totally saturated, no place for water to go.
Have a huge amount of raking to do this morning and no help. Will try to get it into piles and hopefully helpers will show up later this week.
Crud on driveway almost an inch thick. I should sell/give this pine straw to Larro, who makes money from it.
I'm picking big stuff up off lawn, then going to mow next time hauling trac vac. I'll have to sharpen the mower blades when I'm done but sure beats raking five+ acres.
My friend at the River said she lost everything in basement, hot water heaters, everything up to about 6 feet up. Glad she has adult son who can help clean up the mess, I have my own to clean up...
I had loaned her a portable generator and she told me that saved her, had no idea what she would have done without it. Neighbor on one side could not start their gen. Other side had no gen.
Uh, yeah, why not go buy one for 500 bucks? Remarkable how many folks just have no idea how to prepare. You live on the River and this is going to happen every five to seven years. Not for me...
I'll guess I'll be loaning her my pressure washer too.
First, likely this afternoon, I have to pressure wash my whole front porch, entire side of the house covered in wet leaves, which will stain after awhile.
