Looks like a great week ahead....not too cold and not too hot! upper 60's lows mid-40's...wow nice!
Were tied. Now to see what tonight brings. Hopefully better then last night.
Have a Great Day!
Thanks for the pictures.
I like the first place by myself.
Am I being stingy? NAH!!! LOL
Finally getting a little time on the blogs...How's it going for you? Fall weather kicked in here right at the start of the month and we've run about 6 degrees cooler than normal so far in September. The rest of this week will be warmer, with afternoon highs in the low to mid 80s...lows in the 45-50 range. A few trees are starting to turn color even here in town.
What a game! We had to make up for the big OOPS from Monday Night.
Jump up off the couch when Narrovo hit the ball way out there.
Up against the knuckleballer tonight.
Have a Great Hump Day!
Looking for the high today 90.
Need the rain to come back.
WE seem to let ourselves get a little sloppy on the easy games. Let's just get the first 2 games in the W cloumn and we can breathe a little easier.
There were many who said the Rays would fall after the All Star games. LMBO at them now. But you know most of them are Yankee fans. :-)
Have a Tremendous Thursday!!!
Go Rays!!
33? Not ready for that cold yet.
Wish for this as my high.

Bangor is 7 degress cooler right now than us here on the coast but no matter...the air feels so refreshing! No hard frost down here yet how about you Bangor? It's that time of year isn't it? Lucky for me...cold doesn't bother me, if it did I wouldn't live here.
Had a house full for a birthday party but we were all sitting in the house watching the game. Think we broke the decimal system for the county.
Not going to jinx anything from this point on.
Have a Super Sunday!!
The Bucs game was a nail biter, still have a few more left.
I do believe the Rays did a little bit to much partying after the win on Saturday.
Hoping for some rain today, there is some in the Gulf it just has to make it was on land.
Have a Marvelous Monday!! :-)
Finally recieved a little rain here yesterday. Will check later to see how much we recieved. Will be the last rain I'm sure for a bit.
Will be opening and closing the windows starting tomorrow for a few days. YES!!
The Fat lady is warming up I can hear her. Not going to Jinx anything.
You tied for 1st place but Jer won with the points. I'll put your name up there! :-)
Have a Terrific Tuesday.
Didn't stay awake to watch the second game. Crashed at the top of the 5th.
Watched the highlights of it this morning we came back and WON!
2 more to go!!!!
Fatlady is getting a little louder.

With the humidity down it makes it feel comfortable. The ceiling fans help keep things a little cooler. Come Sunday all the windows will be closed again.
Will should be heading to downtown Tampa to watch the game tonight. There setting up big Teletron TV's so we can sit and watch the game.
Go Rays!
This will be the last morning to open the windows the humidity is working it's way back from south to north.

Rain rain rain!!!! A great day to stay inside watching movies! Our days of uncomfotable humidiy are long gone. Looks like rain until Tuesday.
Guess this will be a good test of the all the renovations you've been doing. Hope the Hobbit Hole doesn't flood!
Long time since I stopped by.. Now Did you EVER think you would be facing a hurricane! yes, I heard something like 18 years since your last one? LOL
Good luck and hunker down!!!
Gams
but brrrrrr I'll bet it is hard to swim in that water! (I'm a candy-ass, cannot get in water below 80 degrees and prefer 85 or higher! LOL)
have fun at your party tomorrow.. nope, not going to worry about you that far inland.. like you said worse is lots of rain and you may lose power with some wind.
just read back.. are you kidding 52 degrees? that is almost freezing.. for real that is your water temps up there? Good grief.. I would absolutely die in water that cold! I guess that is why you don't see on the news folks in Maine out on the beach ! LOL
Hi code, we meet again!!!
but I really have to leave the blogs soon.
I was looking for you earlier today and couldn't find your blog. Hope Kyle treats you well. Hope you have some batteries and hope the basement doesn't flood.
Huri-- I can imagine what else was frozen LOL!
MDI hope you can get some good pics tomorrow...
Enjoy your Kyle party...hope the weather doesn't get rough enough to make you lose power. We're glad we made a trip east when we did earlier this month. The tail end of Hanna wasn't too bad when we flew into Philly, and we had nice weather when we drove down to North Carolina. Cape Hatteras was great! But I'd have to say this wouldn't be a very good week to try to view fall color in New England LOL!!
The weather is calm here in Colorado...we're going up in the mountains to check out the aspens.
Hold on.
If you need the air matress let me know I'll send it up to you.
Cantore? Oh, good heavens. He's probably just using Kyle as an excuse to get TWC to send him to Maine for some fresh lobster! LOL
well it looks like your state will be the one to watch today!
Just wanted to pop in and say hi and have a good day.. if you see Cantori say HI! LOL
