Yesterday, Mayhem Acres dodged a couple tornadoes. Ended up with lots of wind and buckets of rain, no damage. I have to clear a downspout on the house and two on the garage, they were waterfalls during the deluge. Time to head up on the roof with the pressure washer. Mother Nature is rather overbearing lately, but I still love her.

Jeff's pop is settling into the new place. The additional pictures were well received, and the lot covers the top of a big bedroom dresser. Suddenly the new room in the new house with the new furniture looked and felt more like home. Mission accomplished.

I tasked myself with buying and installing the myriad lighting devices needed for the new place. Except for some high-efficacy halogen bulbs, everything was either LED or CFL. The electric bill should reflect (heh) this. I was also (painfully) reminded how much my back dislikes me doing overhead work on ladders, unfortunate, since I have a lot of unfinished business here with the same need for climbing ladders.

I need to make a trip to the local junkyards again for project parts, but I am not relishing the thought of trudging through the inevitable sea of oily mud puddles left over from the storm. Maybe tomorrow. I also want to haul a whole lotta stuff to the landfill/recycling center. Out with the old, in with the new.

How has your week been? And what's up for the weekend?

That front moved by exceptionally quickly.
We didn't get the deluge of rain you got, and what rain we did have came through in just a few minutes. It was the preceding winds, some over 60 mph, that brought the 'wow' factor to us here down in NC.

Thank you for keeping us up on the goings on at Mayhem Acres! It's an odd thing this blogging deal. We 'meet' folks and get to know their lives yet have not been face to face.

The deluge reminds me of the storm that blew through Wilmington, DE in the years I lived there. 8 inches of rain in about 5 hours. Winds, flooding everywhere (including the basement of my house). The neighborhood looked soggy for at least a week afterwards. Gad, good times... NOT

I'm relieved that you had no damage there.

I'm going to see MAN OF STEEL on Sunday.

I've just made my way back through 50 posts ... The household is still asleep here at my sister's house. Colleen and I made it back from the reunion at 1am! If we have the energy, we'll take mom to College Station to visit Dad's grave for Father's Day. However, it's another 100 mile+ drive. It's good to be with family ... driving, driving, driving, that's my weekend! :)
