You gonna be ok buddy? Need me to have Strunk come and hug it out with you?

He picked me because I totally would.

As a white walker it helps me keep my milky complexion.

This was me at the pool yesterday.
 
Sounds like nobody was hurt? Objects are replaceable, not people

true, former coworker moved back to the family farm in so. IL last summer. Few weeks ago she was out helping chop hay or something before a storm and was late getting back to her little house. Got home and a giant tree had fallen diagonally across the house. IDK the layout of the house but she said someone was looking out for her that day making her late because had she been home, she wouldn't have made it.

Oh yeah, everyone is fine - it happened last night around 11.30. At first we thought the shingles had fallen off the roof. PapaLew is halfway through re-shingling it so there are packages of shingles (and one random wheelbarrow) stacked up there.

The tree was hit by lightning about 15 years ago - the scar was still fairly fresh when we moved in. It started dying off the last 5 or 6 years. We actually expected the other branch (the one still on the tree) to go first. Recent rains waterlogged it, and we had a couple of heavy microbursts of wind and down she went.

It's just bad luck that the kids were here and PapaLew parked over there so that they could park on paved apron in front of the garage. Oh well.

Well, glad you weren't hurt, but your explanation killed my chance to make fun of your tree cutting project.
 
I don't know how it is around the rest of the midwest, but man, abosotutely perfect weather in eastern Iowa. Sat outside most of the afternoon watching the kiddos play in the front yard, with a rib roast on the smoker and a PBR tall boy in the cup holder. 'Murca...

I was working overtime one night back in the early 90's and a storm took down a good sized tree across the street. It fell across the street and landed pretty much right where I would have normally been parked.

That's where I've been all weekend visiting my family. Great weather.
 
gorgeous weather today here too. Have the windows open. Got my run in - normal HR is like 140 peak, 100 if just going. I was feeling overheated and a teensy bit faint during my run today, hit my fitbit and HR was 170, yeah that was probably it. DH got mowing done, I finished weeding, now finishing steak and taters. Oh yeah, DH said he mowed like 3 toads. Not on purpose.

How do 3 toads mow? Faster or slower than a human? More zig zags?

He's going to regret that. They eat skeeters. :)
