Fishfiles 20,145 Posted October 30, 2020 Mel , you brought up my wife. My wife was freaking out during the storm. She is not the person to be on that survival show. So She brings me a bottle of wine and ask me to open it. I was telling Shade on the phone That was a mistake opening that bottle. I thought she was freaking. After her having a few glasses of wine and me not , She had me freaking and but It wasn’t from the storm had me fried. There were many memorable moments. Yesterday I came inside with a pork lotion off the grill. She has three pots on the stove and she is cooking sides Kraft noodles. Corn and gravy. She says it is taking a long time for the water to boil. We are running a generator and the stove breaker is turned off as the generator won’t handle the stove unless I turn off other things. So dinner was delayed and cooking moved to the outside grill 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted October 30, 2020 Don’t want to sound like a Ryobi chargeable tool commercial. These lights really came through. 6 pack charger and chain saw. All good stuff. There are at least two more Ryobi lights out there. Going to ask Santa to put a bug in the wife’s ear to think about me (us) !!!!! She sure did take control of the lights during the moment. Lol. just filled the generator. 6500 watt with a Briggs ( the model that looks just like the Honda ) getting 13 hours run time on 5 gallons of gas. That is fantastic. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melatv 792 Posted October 30, 2020 Hi: it's good to have useful things around when the power goes out for sure --- seen the mess -- rain -- winds -- water down your way --- on the TV news here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,609 Posted October 30, 2020 Night before last when we had a bit of heavy wind and rain from Zeta, the wife woke me up in the middle of the night and said "Someone's outside". I got up, looked out the windows and didn't see anything, and she said "well maybe it was just a limb falling" Apparently she was right. This hit the roof, went straight through, and broke a 2x6 that was stored in the rafters of my shop. Had the 2x6 not been there to stop it, it likely would have gone all the way through, hitting my workbench, which is covered in Honda parts. A big chunk of it barely missed the kid's 300 that was under a cover next to the shop. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted October 30, 2020 man, you fellas got it bad, just glad no one was hurt... I'm actually shocked it wasn't as bad here, had minor flooding and slight winds, but no damage less you count a few tress / limbs down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) it's been cloudy for the last few days with sixties up into the mid seventies ... with light rain, the warm temps are odd for this time of year, but no complaints, lol. just curious as to what ETA will change when it comes inland ... i agree fish i would be sticking if the fishing is good, i reckon you lost alot when that other freezer gave up the ghost ? havent heard @Scotticus comment lately on the dry conditions up his way, maybe no news is good news ?

Scotticus 777 Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Temps have been in the 70s since last Friday which is very unusual for November. It snowed an inch earlier last week. No rain for 2 weeks until today. Rained all day today. Still under a drought watch. Temps are supposed to return to normal (lows in 30s highs in 50s) for the rest of the week. No more rain forecasted for the rest of the week.

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted November 14, 2020 been a sure enough weather change in the last few days , high 70's for the last couple days with temps dropping to the mid 30's over night, and now a high wind advisory ... moving in from the north, but no freeze watch, or warnings, very strange weather for this season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
