I'm laid back watching the wind blow drinking a mixed drink. Most everyone else is far enough west to miss this thing aren't y'all?

 

So Larry, hope you and the family fared well during Hurricane Arthur?
I've been tempted to head that way during one of these storms.
Yup I'm kind of a weather nut. I was the neighbor (Back Home) that was outside with a camera when the Tornado Sirens were sounding. I have some pretty good pictures of Tornado's forming, and on the ground, as well as the aftermath.
I was a volunteer for several different organizations that came in and helped with the clean up of any disaster. As well as a Volunteer Fire Fighter.

Hope y'all have a safe July 4th

Here's a couple of pictures that I took from our front yard, literally looking straight up.

 

Way west. Spent the day at Kerr Scott Lake in Wilkesboro.

 

Yup.... Durham

 

Faired fine few small branches down. Took the top out of a gum tree on my wood line. Lots of rain, ponds up about 5-6" but could stand another 6".

 

We're making headway around here finally.
Rocky is at boarding, truck tires are balanced, 3 were out of balanced, and outside is cleaned. Still need to vacuum and RainEx, dress the rubber (WHEW) so we can leave for Gatlinburg in the am.

 

Sounds like a plan, hop you have safe travels and a great time!

 

Thanks Larry...
Shari and I have been together just over 20 years and have never, taken a full week vacation. And this may be the last one with our kids.
Hope y'all have a good day.

 

Hello North Carolina...please continue to enjoy your weekend!

 

Weekend was good didn't do much besides rotating tires in my truck. But cooked ribs on the grill Friday, then some burgers and corn on the grill yesterday. Today my wife's parents came down and we grabbed some pizza at michealanglos. Tomorrow I'm gonna change the oil in the race truck and probably pull the starter since I finally broke down and ordered a mini starter for it, hope that fixes my having to replace starters every 6 months.

 

Hope yall have a nice vacation Bob. Safe travels. See you when you get back.

Glad yall didn't get worked over by the storm Larry. For a class 2 Hurricane it was pretty much a non event down east where we were. Lots of wind and rain but no flooding or trees down or any of the bad stuff usually associated with storms that size.

I came back with all my fingers and toes. We had a heck of a show for the neighbors. My buddy and I lit everything off from the pier while all the folks watched from the shore. I heard it was great but we were too busy trying to not blow ourselves up to notice the show.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend.

Yall have a good week.

 

Yea lots of rain, but we needed it!

 

Evening James, Canes, Bob, Tony and Larry
