We are getting about ten inches on top of the twenty wheelbarrow full.
Yes my rain gauge is a large industrial wheelbarrow.

what about sheep? Want to borrow some?Well that mower for all of the convenience isn’t convenient. Should I get another mower before I’m cited by code enforcement again? Or wait until I get my son’s mower, again? Now it’s too hot to mow. I’m reading that it could be the fuse in the start key.but i think something else is amiss.
I don’t have any goats. Meh eh eh eh ehhhhh
This is behind the house and yes, that's an outhouse in the back lol

did a bunch of weeding and weedeating today in and around the remaining garden. I gave up on the big one, it's going to be plowed up soon.
We cancelled our trip to visit daughter thanks to the storm , but we will try to visit her labor day.
Oh, and one good thing, the milk goat did still have milk. Just a little more than quarter gallon but that's normal since it is already August. I didn't milk her completely, and left a little for the babies. But after I put her back with the other goats the babies started crying all over again.
Son just dropped his friend off at the airport , hope the flight does not get cancelled ( to Florida) , this happened last time even without a storm and son had to make 2-4 hour round trips to and from the airport.

sonya, I hope the flights don't get canceled.
Just changed Mom's canula. Went through 2 because I managed to derp somehow and the tubing got stuck in the way. Felt like an idiot but my brain is not operating on all cylinders right now. 2nd one went on easily and I didn't have too much trouble with the extra adhesive I used to hold it on. I need to find some better patches than the ugly freestyle ones.
I also took all of the Dexcom and Tandem supplies out of cardboard boxes, sorted them in to ziplok bags and then put them in a plastic tub. I loaded more supplies into the small plastic travel zipper bags-- I keep a few cartridges, syringes, alcohol swabs, and a couple of autosoft 90 infusion sets in the small cases. Makes it easier to find supplies and get them out when its time to change something.

Welp...my employer has done it again. The trainmen dumped an eastbound coal train on the ground at Marshalltown, Iowa. 38 carloads of coal are wasted and several hundred yards of double main line are wiped out. By the looks of it they derailed on a switch in a control point just east of town. I worked a crap ton of hours building and installing all 4 switches in that control point just two years ago. Fixing this mess is somebody else's problem this time. I've worked 145 hours in the last 14 days and I'm shot. If anybody from the railroad calls me, I'm not answering...

Was anyone hurt, besides the corn??
No injuries, thank goodness.
Morning shift at the cat shelter. Afternoon, pack the car for another trip north, then a shower and an adult drink. Might cut my hair, I feel like a sheepdog.

Son's friend got on his flight and assuming he got home ok. I can't imagine flying over or through a hurricane, wow. I looked at the flight radar before I went to sleep and lots of planes right were the storm was.
Today we are going shopping, and thinking about going swimming. Have not done that since winter ( no time) but it might help our aches and pains to do something different, if not we can sit in the warm exercise pool and relax
Moving the trip was probably the right call. Now we are supposed to get 2 inches of rain. Not a huge amount for us but more to the east of us we would have to drive through.
I hope we get the 2 inches, could use some more rain to make the grass grow more
the downside of milking the goat again, I have to go milk the goat plus it makes extra dishes dirty

Bear had a bad night so I didn't sleep much! Going to take care of Buddy, then off to work!!
Woke up with a sore back, I have no idea why as nothing in my routine really changed and I stretched out before bed like I always do. Being in my 40's has brought a lot of weird aches and pains into my life. Fortunately 10 minutes on the heating pad and some extra stretching took care of it and I managed to get my work out in with only minor adjustments.
Today I am heading to the range with a few handguns and holsters to run some drills. Then I need to go do some shopping and put together my gear bag. I also need to spend some time online looking at available properties, rental units and other similar things. Just in case. Better to be overprepared than unprepared.

Crawling out of bed after yesterday's PT. No way am I doing the sheet of exercises today. This week appears to be punishment week for me. Today is the dentist with alot of drilling and some pulling. I am not looking forward to it. Have to get animal chores and husband taken care of, first. Grumble.
Got a call from Dental SA clinic at Mount Gambier hospital this morning just before half past 11 to confirm my 1pm appointment for Wednesday unaware that the receptionist would say that a last minute cancellation had happened for a 2:30pm appointment being a silly opportunistic bugger I am snapped up the appointment
It took 3 lots of local anesthetic, some drilling and 2 types of pliers to get as much of my impacted back right hand side bottom molar out since referring me to Adelaide for dental surgery was out of question the head dentist got his intern dental student to put in 2 sutures allowing for the gum to heal over what is left from extraction

It’s a stay at home ‘rain day’ for me. But nothing like the folks a few hundred miles south of me are getting from Debby.
We just got 2” in the last 24 hours, and it’s still coming down. Enough to make running a tractor with brush hog not a good thing.

After working 13 of the last 14 days, my body woke itself up at 0430 again but my brain told my body to chill out and I went back to sleep til 7. I have no idea what I'll do today and I don't really care! The only thing on my agenda this morning is to shower, shave, and go up to the coffee shop...
Putting a load of pork ribs in the smoker, pulling lamb's quarters for the chickens, weed wacking and than going fishing late afternoon.

Cranky in Texas is on his way back to Missouri as I type this.
He's lives 1 1/2 hours away from me.
He's going to his place first.
So this means I shouldn't see him until Thursday.
He not a particularly happy fellow he will be going back to Texas to work again next week.
Not my call, but I was informed ahead of time.
Going to vote this morning.
While out will pick up a few things.
Then dishes, mundane things.
Lots of coffee.

Coffee, trying to get functional, we finally got a decent amount of rain, sounds like fairly serious hail to the SSE
