Reciprocity

You can see how much it spread out once it started moving over land. 11:00 AM Friday is was just grazingwhere you are. This is a rain map. The blue is light rain, green/yellow moderate, red heavy rain, purple - get a boat, White - put on the life jacket! Not surprising there was so much Toranado threat.

It's just the Avatar

We did do Hawaii quite some time ago and spent a couple of days in Maui and we did a luau as well. Yes it was amazing! The thing that struck me about Hawaii was how everything was just different from anything I'd ever seen elsewhere. Trees, plants and whatnot were just really different; in a cool way! I think it was on Maui that we drove up to the Dole Pinapple factory. They had a large gift shop with an ice cream palor. Their Pinapple ice cream was to die for 😍 Best ice cream I've ever had; hands down! I want to do a tour of Pearl Harbour this time as we missed that the other time we were there. That's such an icon of history I just want to be there and see/feel the history it has.

Hey guys & gals! Early (way too early) Saturday, Sept. 28th, Mrs Piggy & I are off on our buket-list journey. It's a 51 day cruise to Hawaii & the South Pacific. Will be seeing a number of places we've only seen in pictures & movies. Always wanted to go to that part of the world and see it for ourselves so now, we're making it happen. Will be gone for almost a couple of months after Friday this week. We're going into San Diego 1 1/2 days before the cruise leaves to have a look around as we've never been there. Maybe go to their world famous Zoo? We board the ship in San Diego on Monday Sept. 30th probably around 1:00 PM. The ship sets sail around 5:00 PM that same day.

NOPE!

Been getting ready for a trip the wife & I are going on tomorrow! All that last minute stuff to be done before leaving. Things get a little stressful as time gets short but once on the plane, time to relax and start to enjoy! Unfortunately, won't be able to check back in for awhile as I'll have limited access to social media while away. Take care everyone and Keep those prescious quits!!!

Was a perfect fall day yesterday with lots of sunshine & just a nice warm day without being too hot. Same for a good oart of the day today but then the clouds move in as the very outer edges of Helene start moving into the area.

Congrats @JustSomeGuy!! 3 years already; Wow! Isn't it great not to even think about smoking much anymore let alone being a slave to it daily?

Stay safe Bakon! It's better that you're inland and not near the "Big Bend"! That area and the whole Gulf coast is gonna take a beating! Then, Ga. & Carolinas are gonna get hammered with rain and potential torandos 😟 Terrible stuff!

That's a couple of hour's drive north of here in what;s referred to here as "cottage country". When I used to ride motorcycles, a bunch of us would go for a ride up in that region even fall whenever we got a really bice, warm day. So beautiful 😍 and on a bike, you seem even more connected to the surroundings.

Great Job L4L!! Those years just keep adding up

Been dreary and cooler here to these past few days. You can tell the season is changing and summer's now firmly in the rear view mirror! Almost time for a cup of hot soup or hot chocolate? Will soon be a great time to take a drive and watch nature getting ready for it's winter sleep.
