Started around 11 last night and except for a couple hours this morning, been pretty much rainy so far. Predicted to last till Monday.

I changed to long life lithium batteries. Not rechargeable, but good for about ten years. The initial cost is higher, but over time they are worth to price. I DO NOT like getting up on a twelve foot step ladder to change batteries. 🤐

Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright...three days of rain in the rear view mirror...next week to 10 days have no rain in the forecast... mostly sunny with highs in the 70's

Most of our firemen in Green Bay were made in America.

🤣

Do you need a new alarm clock? 😰

Hey ^8 have no reason to rise & shine early. 😳

Early bird gets the worm.

Unless you've had enough worms already.

Layabout day. Went from 70f the last 2 days to raining snow. First cigar down. Probly get a few more in.

T-storms, rain & wind earlier, now just a steady rain.

I did manage to get a few things done this morning.

Video chat with the boy in a bit and a hopeful nap in the chair mid-afternoon.

I'm making the corned beef, cabbage, onions, potatoes, turnips and carrots...son Darren is bringing corn bread... daughter Lauren is bringing two desserts...

I'm simmering 15 lbs of corned beef (everybody likes leftovers for sammiches) for an hour, then slow roasting the corned beef briskets for another 3 hours, until the meat can be cut with a fork...I find that simmering and then roasting leaves the meat more flavorful than simmering only, and less salty than roasting only...some of the veggies will be boiled in the brisket broth...the rest will be roasted with the briskets...

Looks like NWS says a tornado did touch down in my town. A whopping F-0. There was also an F-1 a town south, saw some roofs ripped off.

I had a few sticks to pickup. And I walked a tarp back to the neighbor. But otherwise no weather issues.
