When I was stationed Ballston Spa in NY, for nuke training, I lived in a rented trailer in a heavily wooded area.  I thought we had a coon problem getting into the garbage can. One night, I heard the metal lid fall and crash to the decking.  I went and jerked the door open and hit light switch.  It wasn't a coon. It was a skunk. It took over two weeks for the smell to dissipate .   :censored:

That's why I went to Idaho for prototype.  Oh, who am I kidding?  The skunks were just as bad there, too.

Also have Monday off, and am trying to figure out if I'm going to 1--get paid, 2--take another day off instead, 3--both.  Gonna have to call HR because that's my "normal" day off for the outage.

Kinda dreary and overcast.  10-day forecast says we're not cracking 60 anytime soon.  Hard freeze midweek.

It rained all night and morning here.  A few highways were shut down for a bit because they were flooded.  Temp will drop 40 degrees in the next 24 hours.  87 yesterday, and tonight we will dip into the 40s.  Good news is that rain has moved east, and will be out of here by noon, leaving us with a nice cool crisp weekend.  Sorry in advance to all peeps east of me for blowing it your way. 

Were you a Native Texan, I'd accuse you of being full of hot air as far as blowing the storm their way. :stirpot:  It sure is chilly out there right now as compared to yesterday. :brrr:

Temp's up to 79, there are high wind warnings for the lakes and the mountains...but so far that's it...it's sunny.

Chris and Lug....are you guys getting hammered? Saw earlier that you were under a tornado watch.

Did you get storms and/or high winds? The ground is so wet and we are surrounded by trees... :(

Not sure about the wind.  Looks like its started raining again and probably won't stop until I get home.  I was hoping to have a dry drive home.  These people can not drive in the rain.

We have an outside light like that, but it only stays on for a few minutes at a time.  

My motion detecting light comes on when I'm watching Cinemax.
