What a treat. Snowy owl in Middletown RI. Seems to have taken up residence for the winter. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

As long as guests Don't Look Back in Anger! Think I'll try to find this place the next time I'm over there.

Got down to 38. First 30s of the season.

Power is back a day ahead of schedule! Good luck to those of you still waiting.

National Grid's estimate for our area in Randolph is late tomorrow evening. Will definitely be our longest outage ever. Can't imagine what it will be like when the "big one" finally hits NE. No generator, but good headlamps, lanterns and power banks for charging phones and tablets. Also we are able to light our gas stove for cooking. Good insulation, so house only dropped to 59 overnight. Yard is a mess, so I know what I will be doing on Sunday.

Finally lost power at about 6:45. Think it's gonna be a while. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Miraculously we still have power, but this has been nuts. Up since 3:00 with all the noise. Keep thinking it is letting up and it just comes roaring back. Can't imagine what the coast is like. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Get a good headlamp. Much better. I grill all winter. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

If we can keep the torch going through the end of the month and into November the snow will have a hard time sticking to the warm pavement when it eventually comes. Nah, the angle of the sun will compensate for it especially if the snow falls at night.

Airline tickets are definitely pricier than 18 months ago. Maybe once they have recouped some of the lost revenues, prices might drop. Fewer flights now too, at least on Aer Lingus. Going to London for a few days, then back north before I head home. Might go to the Huddersfield v Blackburn match on Tuesday. Definitely enjoyed last night's City match more than Saturday's!

Was there in 2005. Skye was great, and we loved Edinburgh. If you like Whisky, make sure you hit a distillery or two. Haggis! Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Any areas in mind yet? I've done a number of trips to Manchester and the northwest. If you are heading to that area, I am happy to give some suggestions. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Incredible area. 45 minute train ride from Manchester, then 10 minute walk to trails. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Not the weather I expect to find in the North of England in September. Bluebird skies in the Peaks! Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

City were poor, so many misplaced passes One shot on goal. Scored late but ruled offside. Not sure. Southampton defended well but started wasting time early. Sadly a draw was the correct result. Oh well, ready for a hike in the Peaks and back to the Etihad on Tuesday. Cheers. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Aer Lingus is using an app called Verifly. You can load your vaccination info and passenger locator form to speed up the check-in process. Meanwhile, lovely day for a Manchester canal walk. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

I flew Aer Lingus thru Dublin. Ireland requires proof of vaccination but not proof of a negative covid test before travel. England required both plus I had to do a test within two days of arrival which I did at the Manchester Airport after landing. Already go the negative test result. Both required passenger locator forms, but not a big deal. More hoops than before covid, but in the end not a big deal. Surprised how few are wearing masks over here, but the vaccination rate is higher than the US. Great to be back here. Tomorrow is my first Manchester City match since before Covid. Can't wait! What airline are you flying? Aer Lingus made things pretty easy.

Beer! First time back in England in 18 months. Started off with a fab local Manchester stout! Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Must have gone to the Sonny Jurgensen school of conditioning.

That last cell just sat and pivoted over my head between 11 and midnight. Incredible rates and then it just shut off. Back yard is a now a pond. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

Insane final deluge put us over 5". Haven't seen prolonged rain like that in years! Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

Over 3" now this evening and still pouring. Horrible drive up route 24 earlier. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

RIP Don Everly. Harmonies didn't get any better than the Everly Brothers. Major influence on the Beatles and many others. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

0.80" in the band that just came thru the south shore. 1.05" total since midnight. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk
