Howdy, PRO!

I’m having a blast reading the comments in your thread. Got it open in another window. :-)

Yes, we’ve had the remnants of Irma over us the past two days. Steady rain and a little wind all day yesterday, clouds and a little drizzle today. And chilly! Temps in the low 60s. Two more days of this before it finally heads off of us.

I spent the afternoon printing and folding some little brochure thingies for this weekend. There’s an annual fall festival and our Republican women’s group always has a booth set up. My job is to come up with a list of all the TN “R” candidates running for the various offices for people to take home.
Other than that, been a dull day.

The kittehs are more settled today than they were yesterday. The sound of the wind and rain had them wound up tight and they drove me up the walls.

Why Not Minot.

[luvie]

Actually, I just found out that she has electricity, but no internet or TV. Thank goodness she does hav electricity!

[luvie]

LOL! Good question!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy!

No surprise you’re slammed at work. It’s “that” week. :-( I hope you don’t end up with a lot of homework tonight.

I hope it forgets about trying to rain and DOES it. :-)

We’ve gotten a little over 2 inches from Irma’s remnants so far. Didn’t have winds too strong yesterday but it was still a bit gusty.

Sorry your brother wasn’t as lucky. The good thing is it hit the garage roof and not the main part of the house.
Gotta look for those silver linings. :-)

[radu]

LOL! Not very often does this happen.

[luvie]

Oh, no!

[luvie]

LOL! I know it’s coooooold there. I have a FRiend in Minnesota who has described some of those winters. Brrr!

[luvie]

You’re very welcome. Glad I could! Thanks for the ping-a-ling!

[radu]

Whew! Glad to hear it.
Still not fun being without internet or TV.

[Fightin Whitey]

Why Not Minot?

Hey, hey...hahaha...

Some of us DO live near there...I know, I know, cold, wind, mosquitos, heat, humidity, mosquitos---did I say mosquitos?...

But one thing that holds true is that the locals, the ones with a brain and a heart, anyway, value and praise and treasure their nearby airmen.

God bless Diana and family for waving the flag! Travel safely, many thanks!

[luvie]

I’d be climbing the walls! I guess thank goodness for smartphones and cell service so she was able to contact me in time to do the thread. Her home phone wasn’t working either. Weird deal. But maybe she’ll read a book. :) Or entertain herself like I do on her tablet.

[Fightin Whitey]

Sorry I forgot the ping!

Take care, have fun!

[oldteen]

Evening' ladies! *hugs* Thanks for another Road Trip. Gets very cold there!

[PROCON]

I forgot what crop your growing this season.

Harvest time yet?

[oldteen]

Howdy PRO!

How’s things?

[luvie]

Crazy stuff concerning the mayor there, huh.

[Publius]

Five strikes, yer out!

[oldteen]

Hiya radu!

How’s the weather doin’?
