Won't the racoons get the beers..??

Rain was coming through the ceiling in the kitchen again. Had to go up on the roof and clear the downspouts in a thunderstorm. Now I'm wet and cold and I've got a pot on the floor of the kitchen catching the drippings.

Living the high life.

At least I've got a pot to catch the rain in the house.

I'm ready for bed but I'm too worried the power gonna go out again. Setting up camp on the basement floor to wake me when it's time for the generator.

I hate this. Leaving in 12 hours and more storms daily. Got everything off the basement floor on buckets and milk crates and Rubbermaid totes.

I need to move.

Yeah. Danm' getaways make me feel better about the 50-60 hours a week working.

HHD gang.




Have a great time & safe travels dan.

MACS, you've gone country, I don't think there is a cure. At least it isn't Barry Manilow music.

Morning everyone. I'm finally done with the move!!! Upsized the house, downsized my belongings. 50 and over community. Nice and quiet. No outside chores, well maintained, nice amenities. About 25 minutes to work.

HHD Ram n dudes.

Woke up to hail and heavy rain about 1:30 am... Had a roofer looking at damage last Saturday. Haven't heard from the adjuster yet... If he wasn't gonna find enough damage to approve before may he will now...

Just go smack the chikens around until they lay more eggs...

Never gonna make judge in Alabama with that sort of sentiment.

Nice... Danm sets it up, you knock it down!

Had hailstorm in 16. Little viz damage that I could tell. Roof was 23 yrs old. Ended up getting roof and siding, and contractor ate my deductible. Good deal.....except that it took two full years before all the wrangling was complete...between, ins co, third party adjusters, and the contractor

Most important lesson, however. Do NOT make color choices without consulting the wife.

I tried to sorta match existing colors on my own so I wouldn't have to go through HOA.....big mistake I may not ever live down

LOL....my past is littered with well-meaning, poorly executed acts of ignorance

I neeeed to use that line.

A woman tried to let me ahead of her in line at da grocery store once... I told her my mother would beat me... She took her place with a smile... She had a nice butt for an older woman....

Ya killin me here!!!

Tornado watch in area. 😨

Made it safely to Michigan.

Campsite is set up. Camper's parked right on hot pit lane, gonna have to watch my step coming outside when track is hot.

Plugged into the timing tower's outlet so at least I don't have to constantly run generator for the fridge. Do need the generator for coffee maker, griddle, smoker, and microwave. Other than the smoker, won't need to run it for hours on end. Hopefully I can use that outlet all weekend.

Weather's cold n grey. Probably gonna rain.

Thanks Vic. Watch out for the soft spots in the septic field. If you sink there, you ain't getting the stank off your shoes

Storms passed for now. 👀

anchors aweigh, MACS. Hope you land a buncha fish, whatever they may be...and the sea lions leave you alone....

when is the danger over?

oy.

So with no power options other than generators, there's a line of 10 campers plugged into 5 big gas generators. It's LOUD...

Only one person has an inverter generator. A harbor freight predator 3500. I really like that generator. Super quiet and can run AC. I want one. They're fairly cheap too, bout $700. The noisemaker generators are half that and can run two ACs though.

Morning. My front lawn is burned up
High 96, again without any rain.

Thunderstorms overnight put a damper on sleep.

Cold n grey
