Good evening.
Driving through the Appalachians (I-81) in moderate to heavy rain sure sucks. The one saving factor was traffic, especially truck traffic was light.
We actually made good time, seven hours with three stops. Our Kitty was happy to come home.
Started raining hard after dark, and while I was in the basement, running my trains, I heard water trickling. Looked up and saw water seeping in under the south wall window. The well was filled to the bottom of the window. Checked the other three window wells, and found they were relatively dry.
Conclusion, the water was running off the patio table and into the well. Normally the position of the patio table, is against the wall, and covering the window well. this time, that caused a problem.
It's actually quite tropical right now 72° with a SE wind, although the rain has let up. quite a contrast from yesterday mornings 39°.
Tomorrow shapes up as a busy day, with a long to do list.
Garry: Nice scene. Like the name of the bakery, and the Baldwin.
Willie: If the only reason for the trip, was the jazz Festival, I would probably be pissed. However, it was a sidebar, we accidently stumbled in to a year ago, and sitting along the St. Lawrence and listening to music is a great way to spend the afternoon. Moving the large bands indoors was disappointing. We did catch several sets by a Texas Swing Quintet that was quite good, plus a traditional quartet at a inn up the street, both on outdoor patio bars, so it wasn't a complete loss.
Curt: The visit was a lot of fun for us. The wife and grand daughter tried to out do each other on the swing set...she was like a kid herself...until the next morning.
