You know, you gave me a big X on my comment about where did you see 3"-6". Am I missing something? Even if it's more CNE / NNE The highest I saw I was 3". Hey, maybe I'm missing something. Instead of giving the big X, help me understand what I'm missing

good luck

Yes. I live 1 mile from there. Was a slightly eerie 2 hours when they thought there was a 2nd shooter on the run. 

Chris, My wife and I were there having a light dinner in the "Oak Room", downstairs restaurant, Ball room upstairs and Prime restuarant as well, at 715pm or so, there was maybe 8 people in the lower restaurant, most on patio (nice night etc) ,I heard rapid shots, I yelled that's gunfire! I grabbed my wife , up a flight of stairs in the rear, to the kitchen , there are only two exits to the "outside" ,one to the dumpster , the other for delivery vehicle access  , and towards the course . We took the one to the dumpster, there were about ten of us there fence in, I was telling my wife anyone opens that door I'm lifting you on top of the dumpster, jump to the ground and run! She was crying I'm not leaving you. I heard a scream from the kitchen, someone opened the door,  and said the assailant ran out the other door bleeding near his head.

Before that he was tackled dropped the gun, someone hit him with a chair. We then went to the ball room where police escorted us to the SpitBrook road fire station, I was able to get my car yesterday at noon, there were still 10 cruisers and I had to give my license phone number etc.

I am a little shell shocked, never in my life would I think this would happen to me and my wife, we were one of the lucky ones.

I’ve got both. Squirrels and acorns. It’s awesome how the acorns plant themselves right into the holes in the lawn from aerating. I can’t wait to see another new oak grove in my lawn next spring

New overseed after aeration is doing great here. With Stein the last 15 days I’ve had to water everyday.. but man does it look good. Country club esque

Jeezuz, glad you are ok!   Life altering experience for sure.   Quick thinking, nice work.  My ADD mind is always planning worst case scenario escapes.

Took the doggo on a two mile night walk and can definitely feel the humidity creeping in.  Feels nice this time of year.
