Jeez o'pete this is getting beyond nuts in our house. The weather alert has been going off since 2 this morning, now our phones are going nuts with flash flood alerts.

At noon EMA made an announcement to stay off the roads if at all possible due to flooding. They want to keep them as clear as possible for rescue personnel.

And here comes the rain, lightening and thunder once again.

Oh, I failed to mention our dogs go bezerk when all of these alarms go off and the thunder happens.

As far as flooding goes where our house is? Not a concern at all. I just hope others that we know are as fortunate as we are.

I love them boiled,roasted and au gratin(which is really fattening but so delicious).I plan on planting corn even though I can't eat corn now.I have 6 teeth left and they get pulled today.I'm hoping to have teeth by the time the corn is ready but if not,the chickens will get it which means happy chickens,right?We're suppose to get more rain which turns to snow tonight.I love the snow but it's April and I'm ready for warm weather,I'm really itching to go fishing.

I can't chew it anymore(until I get new teeth).Dale likes corn with mashed potatoes and I've tried to eat it but can't,except cream corn.We were suppose to get rain that turned into snow overnight.I let the dog out about 10:30 pm and it was snowing,no rain.We got over 2" but it's melting quickly.We continue to be below normal temps,wind chill 23 right now and expecting more snow tomorrow night.

I hope you are getting your teeth fixed soon. I've gone thru that BS for the last 2 years and ended up with 4 screws (implants) holding a bottom denture. I've had months of waiting in between for the healing and new ones. The temp they gave me never fit and slid around a pinched me all the time. It was hell for 4 months. I never realized how important chewing was!

Yeah,I'm learning that.I go next Fri to get the last 6 out.She just checked my mouth the other day and said I had bone spurs.From what I understand they will push out and then I can pull the piece of bone out.Wonderful!Now I'm sorry I didn't let them knock me out and take 'em all at once.Eating isn't a big problem but talking is and I can't whistle to the birds anymore but I can eat ice cream again so there is a silver lining.I was thinking about a temp top denture but I figure it won't help me eat and talk and I figured it would cause me grief.Sem,you just confirmed it.I'm gonna ask the dentist when I can get the falsies next week and ask about an implant on the bottom like yours.30 years of living on Mt Dew and cigarettes ruined my teeth(are you young people hearing this!!!).

It's in the 20's,going to mid 40's.We're gonna get the fence up at the border today.Tonight it's suppose to rain and then turn to snow.We're usually in the 60's this time of year.For 2 days now there have been no chemtrails then I heard last night Pres Trump decommissioned them.It was one of his campaign promises and I'm hoping it's true.I like seeing the sky not the chemical clouds "they" made.I even saw 3 military helicopters heading south yesterday.MAGA!!!

A UFO?They're coming.....I saw a UFO back in the early 80's.It was round and blue and moving fast in the sky.We were on our way to the bar so I was sober when I saw it.It lasted for about a minute.Nothing was said on the local news.This morning it's warm and overcast.We're expecting thunderstorms,rain, then cold and snow.Ahhhh,spring time in Ohio.............

I don't believe I've ever saw a UFO.
Our neighbor invited us over for a barbque today. You'd love him. He's a cop and every now and then his buddies park on our street and catch speeders-one after another. The problem with our road is that people use it to avoid a bad intersection. So the traffic gets oddly busy on an average neighborhood road. But a lot of speeders. We love watching them get pulled over!

We're expecting big thunderstorms later today. I checked the radar and it's on its way UGH.

UFO: When I was in the Navy aboard my first ship, a salvage ship; we were in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle heading back to home port. We were hundreds and hundreds of miles from land, nothing on the SPS 10 radar for 20 miles...no ships, no planes, no land... nada, zilch.
The sea was dead calm and it was a starry night. Our bridge watch team had the midshift and I was at the helm steering the ship.
The rest of the crew were asleep except for the midshift engineer team down in the engineering plant.

To me, it was just another dull and boring watch.
Keep in mind that at night aboard a US Navy ship, there are no lights on at night internally except dull red lights, it's called "darken ship." External lights are port and starboard running lights, masthead light and stern light.

While I was steering the ship straight ahead, I noticed that everyone was out on the starboard bridge wing looking up in the sky on the horizon.
I hollered out to the others out on the bridge wing and asked what was going on?
The quartermaster said there was something on the horizon flying around crazy.
He relieved me off the helm so I could go out and see what was happening.

On the horizon I saw a very bright white round object, abit smaller than a dime.
It wasnt moving like a plane or helo, or any other man made object for sure.
One second the object would be in one place, then the next second it would be in the opposite part of the horizon. It was like it was popping up in one place in one second, and popping up somewhere else in another second. This went on for about 10 minutes and then it stopped.

Our bridge watch team never mentioned anything about it. Back in the early 70's, if this were reported to higher ups in the Navy, chances are heads would roll and careers lost.
Whether it was a UFO or not, I dont know, it was unexplainable.
I've always said that until a UFO lands in my front yard and then opens up and I see green men, that's when I'll believe in UFO's.

We had sheets of rain in the storms yesterday afternoon, reminded me of Irma. Our next door neighbor usually has 3 vehicles in their driveway and all of them were gone when a big branch dropped out of the dead rotten tree down onto the driveway. No doubt the branch wouldve crushed or damaged all 3 vehicles.
The whole tree might come down in the next storm and its lean is toward their house. They need to get the tree taken down.
These are the same people that I called animal control and zoning about their dead chickens.

It's cold and windy out this morning. I was going to replace the tarp over the main coop today but I'll wait til it warms up and the wind calms. I dont feel like wrestling tarp today.
I'll give the dog a bath instead.
