Well, so far so good. The rough weather passed just West and North of us including a tornado and severe thunderstorm. We are still under a tornado watch until 5 a.m., but we can breathe a LITTLE easier. We take the watches and warnings VERY seriously, and have moved our important things down to the basement. I'm glad we had time for a nice dinner while we watched the Weather Channel, and we just came in from giving our dogs plenty of time outside to do their thing. Tomorrow will still be something to keep an eye on but we are very weather aware. I hope everyone else is safe as well.

It’s VERY important for both parties to be familiar with all the items to use them in a pinch of one becomes incapacitated.

One step ahead of you Ray, She is organizing my supplies and straightening out the shelves so loaded with items, and doing a good job too! She is actually enjoying doing this for me, and I'm glad she is familiarizing herself with all the prep items. She asks me about anything she is not sure of or how it may be used, which is great. I want her to be able to take care of things in case I get hurt ; she did a fine job when I had my knee operations.

You are for sure a forward thinker Ray.

I hope you have no difficulties with the weather, Tom. Since you are in the basement, you could supervise the General on some cleaning and maintenance tasks.

Good afternoon, Yard.

We are under a severe weather watch today and over-night with the possibility of tornadoes, so it's going to be a long 24 hours. We plan on being in the basement watching the news and weather, along with our weather radio.

Well, I figure that by letting her do the work she not only learns the job but also gains self-confidence. Besides, I believe in equal rights for women ..... she has the equal right to do the job.

You are SO generous Tom.

Hi Ray, I hope you're feeling better today. I'm changing the faucet stems on our kitchen sink after twenty years of use. I may have to award the General her plumber's card for her work while I supervise.

Good afternoon, Yard.

Severe weather warnings already for tomorrow and Sunday ; glad we have a basement and shelter room.

Careful, Big Brother is watching.

It’s be3n raining here off and on here for a while now.

Or DC.

Randy, sounds like you're ready for "The Walking Dead".

The rain moved in overnight along with a lot of lightning and loud thunder, and it has rained most of the day. Great time to collect rainwater. Our dogs don't spend much time out there ; they do their "business" and are ready to come back in the house.

I hear ya Tom. Supposed to rain/storm here tomorrow but I think we might get rain starting tonight.

Haha, I know A LOT of folks around here I wouldn’t want to be armed!

Good morning Yard. I'm really glad I got the mowing done yesterday as today it's raining and stormy. That means I get to spend more time in my man cave.

Whatever works !

Around here I believe EVERYBODY is armed.

They can be very beneficial for sure. But as you said it’s better to use over the counter stuff if you can.

A dentist told us once that one of the best “pain relievers” consists of…
2 Extra strength Tylenols and one Aleve. We’ve used it before. Try it, it can’t hurt.

Best wishes for you Ray.

Haha, for sure the best armed! Most folks in our small section are in their 50s-80s and don’t really do guns. There are I think 20 houses in our “other side of the tracks” housing area (not counting the funeral home)

Thanks for the good wishes, guys. I try to stay away from narcotics if I can. I’ll only use them if nothing else works.
