After flickering on and off all day and being off for about 5 minutes this morning, power finally went off for real about half an hour ago

I hope it comes back on quickly. Heard there are like 1000 guys working on power outages in VA.

Minnesota isn’t so bad right now either.

Good Morning Friends

I confess to being a little OCD with my greets and try to make sure I have said G’Day to all; sometimes it is difficult to juggle the time to allow that, especially yesterday, so many new members! I am lucky in that I get to do them on a work day in between help desk tickets.

First thing I do is check the date but I have probably been caught before. As I read all the posts, it really does help when someone mentions “zombie thread”

LOL Bruce yes, the fresh meat might be the reason

Those having ‘weather issues’ stay safe!

We should be fine; the house is high set and the block slopes slightly with the chickens and ponds being on the high side.

Kelsey, at this stage we are only in the 3 inch zone which is OK, we got more than that the other day.

The ponds are not filling up with babies (yet) but I do believe I have some of both now, Guppies and Platys as there are two distinct shapes but they are are so very tiny.

Plan for today, because I got the lawns done yesterday, is pottering. I have a couple of plants to repot in larger pots; generally my kind of day

Ah that's not so bad then

Still out.

I think it went out like 7:15ish

But we are about 90 feet above sea level. The areas near the water are very bad with flooding and stuff

Yikes - there sure is some crazy weather going on in the world at the moment! You don't realise how much you rely on electricity until the power is off.

The winds i think are 25-30 now with gusts up to 70 and I think that's high.

That IS high, getting up to the Cat 1 hurricane speeds!

True. One can always use a "tester cat". If the cat won't eat it, neither will I.

Nor is far northern Vermont. We got maybe 1/2" of snow, no appreciable winds. Flooding in Boston near the aquarium.
