Late day

Oh, ow and my achey old bod... Getting an embarrassingly late start today, as I was awake for hours last night, even after I gave in and took Niquil... took forever for it to kick in. Not sure if it was just the dust from the garage and stuff, or if the evening snack of "Katie cake" and more likely the ice cream contributed to the snuffing, snorting and gawdawful crud down the back of my throat, but it was there nonetheless. GAK!

K even brought me coffee, finally and that got me going but when the dog stirred at sunup, I only got up and opened the door, letting her out into the front room for K to put her outside. His pains had awakened him and he was UP (for a while at least). I DO NOT want to attack the garage today but have no choice as I must find the box with my software and decide what I will do with the main computer.

At least it seems that most of the heavy, high lifting part is done and the horizontal rain seems to have abated. K said we had an inch in the gauge and I am sure it did not capture the most of it, judging by the puddles at the front of the drive and knowing that the particular gauge in question is designed to capture rain in its more typical path, falling down out of the sky. We had high wind warnings from 2 AM until about noon... which is is now... and they were right. At times it was blowing so hard the wind chimes refused to sound and it first blew the catfood bowl and the small grill off the "liars bench" on the porch, then blew the bench itself over on its side. Photos will follow once I get the tech issues resolved.

I wonder if the "haystack" (aka compost pile) is still there or if I will have to rake it again?
