Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[LAwaters]

Omg I wish you were my neighbor!!

It’s a remote app on my phone (so I can turn the heat on for the jacuzzi before I leave work) or turn things off if I forget to, etc... I’m going to copy and paste this and have it on hand so I remember the color scheme. There was a good reason I went with fiber filter but those choices were so long ago I don’t recall. I’ll have to reference my notebook.

Thank you so much. There were really a lot of incredibly helpful tips in that post!

I have an Evernote notebook with tips I get from here. More than one is from @Bunnykiller.

Your pool, patio, BBQ.., just gorgeous! I felt more relaxed just seeing the pics. And post as many as you want! You should be proud. I post pics of my food when I’m proud of what I made. You’re sharing with friends.

just noticed.... the deck, is it stone or tile?? definately a "No Run" zone

Travertine. It’s actually not that slippery. Even the dogs haven’t spun out on it yet.

I bet that’s quite the collection of helpful tips in that notebook! I used the grill tonight. What a treat! Just wish my barstools would get here so I can eat out there too. I moved back into my old house (long story) but I really wanted to do something to make it feel like MY house, something totally different than what was there. I’m sure that makes sense to just me but I’m hoping it makes sense.

Hello Hulamoon. How is Paradise today ? ?

Hiya Papaw! I've been so tied up with work, I could cry, but I think....I hope I see more stable times ahead.

It keeps sprouting big green leaves every Spring for 12 years now.

They're tough trees. I had one come down 20 years after I thought I saved it.

Have a great Sunday everyone! I’m heading to work!

Good Morning Army. Power musta went off again last night, but it was back on when I got up.
Old Man Florence is just hanging over the Piedmont area, and rain just keeps falling ....

Have a Safe and Blessed Day

Just heard another stat. Some 19 18 trillion gallons of water will fall on the state. Enough to cover the entire state with 10" of water. The mountains are next. Can you say "Mudslide"?

I am scheduled to deliver in Winston-Salem and pick up in Troy tomorrow, but I am already considering calling in and saying "How about we try that on Tuesday ?". No telling what some of the two-lanes throughout the Carolinas are going to look like early in the morning with all the wind and rain. Can you say fallen trees ?

Traveling thru the mountains is treacherous enough during good weather. Add rain or snow storms and it is travel at your own risk.

We have had a lot of rain over the past few weeks here. Still more in the forecast as well. Usually when it comes down, it is just a huge downpour. Then it mostly stays cloudy and muggy. Our temps have climbed to several degrees above normal for day and night. We did need the rain. Now I'm all for letting it dry out some before we get more. Usually my electric bill goes down in September. I don't think it will drop much this time though.

I'm still watching the Florence nightmare. The mosquitoes here are getting pretty rough. I imagine that is also going to effect NC.

The tomcat is still hanging out at my place. My big dog still has not gotten used to that idea. So it is still a bit chaotic here because of it.

Your bill should go down a little. The sun is not out as long so you don't have to cool as long either.

when I returned from Huntsville Al. to Nola after Katrina ( about 36 hrs after it passed) the intersate from Jackson to Nola was littered with fallen trees, even tho they cut the trees back far enuf from the roadway, the trees still managed to fall into the roadway blocking clear passage... took several hours to navigate around the fallen trees to get to Nola...
and the pine sap stained the road for a couple of weeks afterwards.... eventually the state bulldozed the trees to the side of the road and made things a bit easier to travel...

ahhh okay... dense limestone, keep it clean by pressure washing about 2X a year... if ignored it can accumilate fine dirt particles in the "pores" and become slick... a mild acid wash about every 2 yrs will keep it "grippy"...

 

[MostlySunny]

Oh @PapawBrett now that I’m kicking .... on my team I’m excited about. Big Ben, Kelce, McCaffry and JuJu.... hope you have power and can watch the games.

Geez, I'm so tired of this weather. Has to be the slowest moving storm in history. It just sits there. Come on already!
