....has come and gone. Actually, we got just a trace of rain and
little wind here around Lake Murray, SC. It's a beautiful day, and
I'm headed out to clean and repack the last two bearings on the boat
trailer axles. Some others along the coast aren't as fortunate, so
stay safe!

I am heading out in a bit for the boat. Plan to hang out on it during the
storm as it hits up here later this evening.

If it goes as typical, the weather guessers will have hyped the bananas out
of it, but right now they are forecasting sustained winds of 50 mph with
gusts over 60 mph along the southern coast of Cape Cod (Buzzard's Bay).
That's enough to make me go down and double up the lines, at least.

At the moment, it is raining steadily here, not what I would call a
downpour or close to it, and the wind out of the NNE is gusting from
about 2 to 10 mph.

Based upon the bowl of leftovers (now empty) I put out last night for
the foxes and raccoons, I'd say we have had between a 1/2" to 3/4" of
rain in the last 12 hours.

My guess is that we are in the forward weather band area of the tropical
storm.

We've been having intermittent periods of really heavy rain all morning
here. Radar shows it's the outermost bands associated with the storm.

The Cape Cod Bay side is not supposed to be bad, but the Buzzard's Bay side
is.

Harry,
Why you may think this qualifies as a charitable contribution, in
reality you are providing them with a very unhealthy diet, discouraging
them from eating a healthy diet, encouraging them to forage and rely on
humans for their food and teach their young not to be fearful of humans
and to visit their homes for food, instead of how to eat a balanced diet
in the wild.

This feeble attempt at charity is one of the worst things you can do for
wildlife.

Even though you know and understand why you should not feed wildlife,
you continue because you can say "see what I do to help". Reminds me of
that commercial for Shake and Bake, where the little girl is bragging
".... and I helped".

I'm looking at the Accuweather radar. It's showing the worst of the 'storm'
over DC right now. The branches of the big oaks out back are barely
fluttering. The rain is little more than a heavy drizzle.

Don't get too hyped.

The wind direction here has shifted, but the conditions are about the
same as previously reported.

Supposed to be a nice day tomorrow. Will attempt to get out on the
water. Got a "road trip" to "da Souf" coming up later next week.

Yeah, but she probably did help.

This is a perfect example of Harry's feel good charity. He draws them in
close with food so he doesn't have to get dressed and go outside into
the woods to view the wildlife. Soon they will be getting into his
things and become destructive varmints. At that point he will probably
poison them or shoot them. What a guy!
