Greetings, gang.
Mostly sunny and 79 on the shore of beautiful Lake Huron this afternoon. Rain chances for tonight and tomorrow.
I finished sanding the deck yesterday afternoon. Hard work crawling around on hands and knees with a belt sander. The hand will slowly heal. I've been soaking it twice a day. Also antibiotic cream, bandages, and gloves for working. We covered the deck with tarps so that after the rains stops tomorrow the deck will dry fairly quickly. We should be able to paint on Sunday.
Today my father-in-law and I went down to Vantage Point to watch for freighters on the river. Nothing. One was on its way but stopped to refuel. We gave up and went to Menards to pick up some lattice panels for the base of the deck.
No tornadoes in Fort Dodge but there was a funnel cloud. Picture was on the front page of the local paper. Some wind damage and some dime size hail but nothing major.
We're expecting possibly severe storms tonight. I have a bank drive through spotted about six blocks away if the weather does get bad I can put my car in the drive thru.
All stay safe.
Tom
