Power outage at home started at 3. I think they missed the predicted restoration by 6:15 [emoji5]
I hope you all enjoy the pods! 
I’m like Bov with no intentions of quitting. I’m @ 3mg and happy as a clam.
The winds hit here earlier today and my dogs act like the sky is falling with every rumble. Bark bark bark off and on all day! The wind advisory was supposed to be lifted at 8 pm but it’s still pretty wicked gusts every so often. Finding slate on the ground is a sure sign of the new roof I’ve been needing! There’s goes my vape budget. **cries**

Got that 20 tons of sand/clay leveled in the hole in time to get another 20 tons delivered today...By my estimation I had @20 tons here I'd brought in with Unk's dump trailer....The dump truck that made the deliveries holds 20 tons so there is @60 tons of sand/clay mix in the hole or 3 dump truck loads...Needing to situate my rocks lining the creek to keep the sand clay out before leveling what I got today....also gonna ride down too Cuzzo's and pick up some scrap bricks to throw under the sand/clay. I don't wanna order more and need to touch up my driveway if I have a little left over....
Ouch,on the roof,Tracy Hope the vape budget returns soon.
Better grab some down time soon,Dee Sounds like you could use it.
Mark,we lost power last night but it's back on now.

Ouch! Sorry to see the damage, but if nobody was hurt that's really all that matters.
Evergreens are tough. I love them, but they tend to have shallow root systems, so rain + wind can mean they topple.

No one was hurt thank goodness. That was my 7 year old grandsons bedroom.Thankfully he wasn't in it.
Wow!! So glad GS wasn't in there, and no one was hurt!! I'm sorry yall had the winds to deal with up there.
Survey done last night!
We went to Huntington Beach State Park today, first time I've been to the beach in years...even the part in my hair is sunburned
We had a great day, even tho it was chilly. And as we were leaving, we watched an eagle drag a fish out of the marsh and chow down on it!!

Fran please add my thankfulness to the list that your gs and family were unharmed in that mess!
Glad you enjoyed the beach Bov!

I was woefully unprepared for the sunburn that is now forming little blisters on my face!! Lesson learned the hard way...as usual 
Got a call from mastercard fraud prevention this morning. Seems I tried to book a trip to Italy in my sleep last night
Card cancelled, a new one on it's way.

Going through Windows 10 update purgatory. I had an older build, MS said it will no longer be supported, insisted on installing an upgrade.
Installation was hosed, eventually it got to the point of a corrupt boot file.
Probably 6 hours of time yesterday mucking about with restore disks, etc. None of this was "hard", simply time consuming.
Today I finally found something buried in ms tech support files that involved going in and changing attributes of bootrec, then recreating stuff.
Now the pc boots cleanly, I'm trying a fresh upgrade-in-place (via the Microsoft Media Creator Tool), seeing if it'll apply okay.
Wish me luck [emoji5]
