What's It Like Outside

I'm jealous! I'd love to move to the NC mountains. Somewhere near Asheville would be ideal, me thinks. If I could only convince my ex wife to move there (because of my daughter). hmmm.

ok...back to reality. It's still bloddy hot here. 90 degrees at 10am. Should hopefully start cooling off soon.

well maybe once i get the house built up there we can have a CR get together up there!

It is another brutal summer day in Chicago. 78deg and 50% humidity.

** Hot, Hot, Hot ** (at least for us!) We're due to hit 85 degrees today, with 80% humidity. Yesterday hit 90 degrees/humidity, so today's an improvement I guess. PHEW!! Fans are goin' strong!

Well, here in Mid-Michigan, right now it's 63* and a light rain. Feels like winter could be just around the corner.

Today has been really nice. High in the 80's! We are finally getting summer here in time for fall!

After two weeks or so of rainy, cloudy and cold weather summer came back for a (last?) intermezzo...Though it's quite cold at night and in the early morning hours it's getting sunny and warm during the day. Beautiful!

Still too darn hot. Should finally be cooling off within the next few weeks. The rainy season should end within two weeks.

Keeping an eye on Frances, too.

It's supposed to hit the eastern shores of Florida, but it's twice the size of Charley, and already Cat 4, which may increase to Cat 5. That means here in Tampa Bay, we will likely see Tropical Storm force winds.

Everyone stay safe!!

After the hurricane gets here check and see if i'm still here! We are right in the middle of the state of Ga and going to get lots of wind and rain!!!

Right now it's over casted. The fun before the storm.

Well we passed alot of Fla tags on our way to Nashville Tenn this weekend! Now why would people run this far north?

Enquiring minds want to know?

Keep getting hit by wave after wave of what is left of hurricane Frances. No wind but there's still a lot of rain involved. Fortunately, it's not a continues rain. The roads get a chance to drain off a bit before the next wave comes through.

Maybe Elvis was in town!!!

It is Cold, Wet and Wind here in Western Ohio. All of being the effect of Hurricane Frances.

Here in Waynesville N.C. we got lots of rain (20") For the past three days I have been at my grandmother's house pumping water out of the basement it was waist deep, and that was just from ground saturation it is still flowing in but at a slower rate. We did get a picture of some Damp Dry (desicant granules) floating in the basement. I have never seen the river so far up it is still out of it's banks and there is a lot of fall here in the mountains so it flows fast. I have a creek in my front yard and had probably a few thousand pounds of river rocks deposited in my little floodplain area.

but yesterday evening and today were nice.

Well, it's finally NICE outside. We have the windows open for the first time since about May. It's dry and about 70 degrees, with a nice breeze. Thank God!!!
