Thanks, Susan. All good.

I had my 2nd annual CT lung scan for ex-smokers today at 4:00. Left my apt at 1ish, 2 hours to get up there on the subway. Normally it would be 30 minutes. I didn't see any floods, but it's in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood, which is very hilly, so maybe the water drains better. But I saw pictures of the subways, airports, and streets, what a mess. My building seems fine. 

I just received the results, nothing awful. No nodules, no emphysema, minimal calcification. Some of it might as well be written in Latin :), so I guess my doc will explain it to me.  

Cheers,

Paul

Good morning Susan, Paul, and everyone.  We didn't even get the predicted rain here yesterday.  Got some drizzle

before daylight and some sprinkles late morning.  We also, saw the flooding, remnants of the hurricane again.

Going to a ham radio flea market, hamfest, with grandson today.  Was our granddaughter in years past and before

that, our daughters. 

Fixed an outdoor circuit yesterday.  Took care of some branches I cut from the pine trees that overhung the pool and

some crowding another tree in the back lawn.  Finished taking care of everything from closing the pool, just in time for

80 degree weather.

Glad you avoided the flooding Paul.  Our health org doesn't do the lung scanning of ex-smokers.  Don't know, maybe

I should ask about it.  I already have the ultrasound of my aorta artery annually, of the stent.  Sounds good, your results.

Ernie

Good morning, Susan, Ernie, 

Some thunderstorms the next 4-5 days but should be better. Guess this is bad for restaurants and shopping. 

Enjoy the weekend,

Paul

Good morning all.  Didn't sleep well and finally got up.  54 here, maybe an early indian summer, 82 today, think

they said.  Glad it's dry for a while, got an extension pipe on one of the drains so it's closer to the road ditch.

Still have to pack it down some, waiting for it to dry a little first.  The ground there wasn't completely dry, tread

of the tractor tires sunk into the ground.

Worked on a leak on the Monte Carlo SS a little, looks like I need a new speedometer cable. 

Leaves are changing here, very pretty in some areas, others haven't changed that much.  Not at our peak yet.

Rode my bike up north to walk Brandy's sister, Dixie, and her friend, Charlotte.  Dixie is almost 11 years old and

only goes about a mile.  Charlotte is only around 5 but turns around much earlier than we used to go.  She rarely

gets to walk since both of her humans run businesses.  Bike seems to be back to it's normal after replacing the rear

driven gear and replacing the Orings that leaked gas.  Was dangerous leaking gas on the exhaust when it got bad. 

We got the pool closed and covered for the year.

Lots of damage near you Paul, up towards 9 inches of rain in the worst hit, will take a while to fix that.  One area after

another now. 

Still seeing Kitty on facebook here and there.

Have a good day all.

Ernie

Granddaughter's birthday party this week, leaving her teen years behind.

It was sunny and dry here also, Ernie. It seems Brooklyn & Queens got the worst of the floods. Once the rain stopped, I didn't see any water. Flood damage is not included in normal insurance, so people not in flood zones may not have it. It will take a while to fix.

Enjoy the day, everyone. 

Paul

Good morning Paul and all.  57 here this morn, unreal.  I hope to get a picnic in but wife's parents stopping by

today, granddaughters party Saturday.  After that rainy and lower 50s, think it stays there.  We hope her parents

can stand the pups, they settle down after a while but they're very happy to get company, like most dogs, but they

get rowdy for 5 or 10 minutes. 

I picked up the speedometer cable yesterday but mainly ended up unclogging a drain at my daughter's.  Not even

as much fun as replacing the cable but love helping the girls.  We also replaced her water filter.

Hope you all have a great day.  If your weather is kept up with the high pressure we have, hope you're enjoying it.

Ernie

Princess, died Labor Day, 2015.  Was a kind soul.

Hi Ernie,

Not much new here.  Warm 80 degree days to be followed this weekend by rain and 50’s.  A short to to the Columbus area to see Jim’s family. A one day boarding for Finn.  Fall decorations are now in place. Corn stalks and pumpkins outside!

Errands now.  Keep the Faith!  Susan

Hi Paul,

Lovely here this week.  Eventually must tend to cutting down the perennial flowers.  A guest brought flowers last evening  I just stuck them in water and a vase and must now tend to cutting and arranging.   
 

Fall has arrived.  And on we go!  Susan

Susan, Ernie,

It has also been a beautiful pair of days here.  I think we get rain for the weekend. 

Paul

Good morning all.  Sounds like we're all getting the same weather.  I dread the colder weather but my

brother in law wants it cooler to work on his new garage bay.  I was going to go up north to help him today

but he's waiting for cooler temps.

Glad Finn is back home Susan.  He's probably to old to enjoy being around the other rowdy dogs very much.

We didn't get any pumpkins yet, soon.  Wife has lots of Fall decorations up.  A shower curtain, floor mat, and

a window curtain to match, with Fall leaves and bears on it, will have strings of leaves up around the house soon. 

I'm still working on this speedometer cable leak on the SS.  I don't even use it, I use the satellite with the GPS. 

Wife's parents were here for a while.  I held each of Chloe and Belle out by the pool until the other settled  down

with them.  Took a while.  We have only today and maybe Friday morning of nice weather out, same as you all have. 

Hope Kitty is still comfortable.  I'm still seeing her on facebook here and there. 

Enjoy the day all.  Pool is closed and covered.  Flowers are still alive for now.

Ernie
