Wow, we seem to be past the last few days of toad-strangling rain. Somewhere between 9-12" in the last three days. We've had roads completely collapse due to the water running so heavy. We are safe and dry, very happy we had a new roof put on last year!

I'm counting on most of them doing that. The poppies I think will show up in a few weeks. They sprout whenever.

Well, I missed Major2's call today checking on me, as we had some tornadoes around us, but we are fine here. Thank you Roger for checking! Spent most of today running several errands, had a good lunch while doing that. Anyway, family coming in tomorrow for a few days, that will be nice. Y'all be good!

Evening all.

Yesterday ended up being more exciting than I cared for. On the way to the tree dropping location, someone decided to change lanes very quickly, into the same space I was occupying. Nobody ended up hurt, but I am in need of a new front bumper, passenger front clip, both doors the rear fender (pretty sure it's unibody, not sure), and a hubcap. So that's neat.

Highly recommend checking your mirrors before changing lanes.

Sorry to hear that TK, But cars can be fixed or replaced, As long as no one was seriously injured you came out ahead.Hopefully the guy has insurance that will pay for your vehicle to be repaired.

Glad to hear you were not hurt.

A few weeks ago, I went to a Car Wash. I was distracted going in by an attendant and forgot to put my car in neutral. My car jumped the track and hit a post resulting in a $4200 estimate. They say I need a new front fender and an upper & lower front bumper. Insurance says it's my fault. I'm not going to spend $4200 on a ten year old car. I'll just slap some body putty on and spray paint it myself.
