Good morning folks
It is a chilly 51 going up to 70 today.
Checking in early since we have a small concrete pour at 7 am this morning.
It has been a couple of wild days. We finally got my cousin who lives outside of Tampa evacuated. She has physical disabilities and some mental issues. At first she refused to go. She actually lives in Gibsonton which is on Tampa Bay in a trailer home. Where she is they are predicting a 10 to 12 foot storm surge which would put her trailer under water. It took my cousin in Connecticut and myself most of Monday to finally convince her she had to leave. My cousin from Connecticut who grew up with her and lived near here until a few yeas ago had to sic the county sheriff on her before she was convinced to leave. Yesterday was spent getting her transportation and a place to go. Luckily my Connecticut cousin’s father who lives near Orlando was able to get to her and take her and her cats back to his house.
Not a whole lot else got done the past two days. We were supposed to have a contractor visit yesterday to look at the wall damage in our bedroom and living room but he ghosted us.
Tonight, I have some laundry to do and straighten up. I hope to run some trains.
I hope everybody has a good day.
