I had nice weekend plans but they are about to be foiled
Seems Mother Nature is sending high winds and heavy rains my way
So...we regroup
Tonight im stowing yard furniture and loading in more firewood just in case
(then im drinking!)
Saturday will be for housechores, maybe organize the cellar where all the furniture is going
Sunday is damage assessment and clean up
How about you folks
Doing anything fun?
Yours doesn't sound like much fun; actually sounds rather nasty, but it's good movie-watching weather, right?
I'm hoping to see the sun again. It's been dark and rainy here for the past three days. Not a lot of rain, just the constant drizzle. I haven't quite decided what I want to do this weekend. Well, except there might be a few adult beverages involved. 😉
You have a knack for finding the bright-side Glen...thats why everyone loves you😚
I certainly hope to do some movie viewing!
Crummy weather requires a few drinks 🍻🍻🍻

A rainy weekend here also and cold about 40 degrees. The leaves will have to sit till next weekend.
shareI got my leaves done a few days ago before the rain set in. I think (hope) I'm done with yard work for the season.
shareI have a ton of trees
I do the whole area 3 times every fall and once again in spring
Not fun but lots of music and beer are my secret weapons
The leaves never know what hit them!
I have just two trees on the boulevard, but one of my neighbors has a huge maple that usually dumps its leaves in my yard. I always hope for a south wind 😉 so they stay in his yard, but it didn't happen this year. Where I live the yards are tiny so leaves are to be expected. Strange thing though, his tree dumped a bunch of "baby" whirlybirds when the leaves came down. The whirlybird seeds usually come down fully formed in the spring, but this year we got a "bonus." Weird.
shareThe weather all year has been so ass-backwards im not surprised by the surprise whilybirds
shareYes, stay dry and relax if youre able
This should pass by tomorrow afternoon so sunday sounds like yard time
I'm relaxed. Probably too relaxed already. 😌
shareChores done, dishes dried and put away...im catching up to you sister!!
shareCritter cage clean here. It's going to take some "work" to catch up, but I have faith in you! 🍻
shareGetting there mi Amiga
Im cleaning a retro indoor Preway brand freestanding fireplace in my garage right now...it is a work of art and i got it for free with nothing but dirty finger nails and a few aches in the deal
Its cherry red with an enormous smokestack...11 feet tall!!
18x30 opening and in excellent condition
I think shes a late 70s model but im still searching the net with the model number
I will recondition this BEAST over the winter and install her on a bed of blocks and pea gravel in the early spring surrounded by a curbing of small boulders
I got it from my bro-in-law (the annoying but decent one, for free!)
Wow! Lucky you! You'll have to post a picture next spring when it's done!
shareIm in the same path. Gonna watch "Salem's Lot" tonite. The 1979 miniseries. Blu-ray
shareGood choice
I enjoyed the TV series have read the novel 3 times...it is one of the spookiest books ive ever read
Something similar for me. Gonna hunker down with some beer & snacks and a 3-disc trilogy ( 5 & 1/2 hrs. run time ) that covers a decade and looks pretty intense from what I've been able to glean from the synopsis on the back. Not sure how this will turn out but I'll at least get toasted & into my 'happy zone. '
shareI know you get some WILD weather out your way so im sure you are well provisioned
Hunker away buddy, I loaded up on booze on the way home so ill get lit and clean the house tomorrow...and fit in some hunkering and movies as well🥃
Fantastic series! Remake with Rob Lowe wasn't too bad, either. But the original was amazing!
shareWe're getting hit as well. I've been into beach combing lately, so maybe the storm will help uncover some more treasures. Its amazing what you can find when your looking. In particular, I've been finding some very old pottery/ceramic shards, along with all types of beach glass.
Other than that, I glued to the World Series. Red Sox are my team!!!!
Thats cool, me and my boy love treasure hunting
So far we have found nothing but he leads the way through the woods (we are nowhere near a beach) with his metal detector and i carry the gear
Fun times and we go fairly often
Your pottery shards sound interesting
If you are in the Northeast they may date back to the Dutch or English
Hunkering down today, tonight. Cozy in my home.
Tomorrow is our home clean up day, floors, vacuuming.
My scary storm turned out to be a wimp...its been very rainy and the wind gave me some fright this morning but no damage!
Looking at the bright side the 'storm' caused me to stash away all of my yard furniture, close the pool and drag in more firewood...i stayed up until 5 this morning preparing for it
Is it awful by you lennon?
Hey Yonkers ! Been raining on and off, sometimes heavy, all day. It's terribly cold here, too. Raw and uncomfortable to be outside. It's going to be this way till Monday, I noticed.
BUT, I will not complain too heartily, as I dislike summer heat and humidity completely! Give me cold, even snow and I'm AOK.❄️
We have the drizzles now... not heavy rain at all but the cold dampness is upon us...been burning firewood all day
Oh gosh, i dont like the snow very much at all
Sure, it is quite pretty but im not looking foward to driving in it!
And the parkinkg becomes a nightmare down in the city when it snows...I prefer the hot summer
Yes, I'm not a fan of driving in it, but I do , if I have to. If I have no where to go, I just hunker down and enjoy it.
shareJust for you guy, one of my favorite old tunes : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5bUmx-hk-c
shareGreat song
Never saw the performers until just now...they looked like they were having a blast!
Thanks DB
Yeah, I had acquired my first drum set by then and joined a garage band with some of my high school buddies. That's why my memory took me there & I can relate to that natural euphoria you mentioned.
shareA garage band sounds like a hell of a time!
I got into guitar as a teen...i was really horrible at it AND my voice is awful so good for anyone that had a fun band
I really wish i were better but i just had no skills!
Btw, I just finished disc 2 of the trilogy I previously mentioned. This is it: https://moviechat.org/tt1260581/Red-Riding-The-Year-of-Our-Lord-1980; preparing to move on to the final one. It is intense as I anticipated, and even darker and grim, one of the worst stories of police corruption I've seen.
shareIm well aware of that series...Ive wanted to watch that for some time but it never comes up on my streaming services
Today- nursing hangover
That’s about as far as I got for weekend planning.
Enjoy your weekend Yonkers!
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well froggyandtoadie...i am often hungover as well but i know how to cure it...
This is a cinch:
Take 3 Ibuprofin (it wont mess up your liver like the Asparin) and LOTS of cold water...followed by several hours of rough, sweaty physical activity
I hurt myself several times a month so i know what im talking about
Best wishes
Thanks bud, appreciate the advice! Yeah, sitting through an 18 inning ballgame at the bar probably wasn’t the best decision I’ve ever made, but it was fun! Take it easy.

Nice to see you Moose!
You are correct, the sports -aid drinks do help
I do most chores with a drink in hand but the gutters scare me (im afraid of the heights)
