This was my big score from yesterday. If it works as advertised I'll get one in every color. My biggest disability from the finger amputation is the inability to hold a nail when starting it. Especially finish nails, which I use almost exclusively.

So I'm still shaking from the cold after a hot shower. And I have red patches. Is it summer yet?

Heavy rain beginning at midnight. We actually got more last night than we got during the hurricane. We're beginning to wonder if ClimateChange will turn this area into rainforest. It would be wonderful if it did.

Too late, walked all through it. Had to rescue my houseplants.

It feels especially cruel that the weather the last few weeks has been quite chilly and windy, but immediately after the time change this Sunday we'll have a sunny week with high temperatures in the mid 60s 
Might have to do some night riding.

Will you have a car? If so, a drive through the Brush Valley might be nice. PA 192 to Raymond B. Winter State Park. Amish valley. Great cycling road. You'll also pass by Penn's Cave.

Be careful. The state is setting COVID infection records right now. BTW...If you are talking about Ye Old College Diner, it's permanently closed.

Jumping cactus, a.k.a. Cholla. Had a few encounters with that in my motorcycle days. A big clump sticks to you, you grab it to pull it out, then it's stuck in your hand.
Before I wore knee/shin guards I had the needles embedded in my legs. I remember pulling one out which was in about an inch, straight into the patella tendon.

The dam in Nashville on the Stones River was roaring. The people that we were with said that they had never seen all the gates open and so much water discharge. Since this was the day before Zeta, I wonder if they were discharging in preparation of storage after yesterday's rain.
Note how I snuck a pic in of my wife.

On the good news side, I can see a little better. The bad news is that I'll never recover full sight in the eye again, only "better" sight.
