So Much Soak

Rain. Lots of it. Came home and saw some trim from my carport on the ground. As was the branch that, I'm sure, helped it down. Major storm blew through Dallas. Enough wind to cause the Dallas Cowboy training facility's roof to collapse. Stories still filter out. Rookie training cap was going on. Right now, I've heard of not too many serious injuries. Stay tuned. And say a prayer.

For me, from Friday morning until about 1:15pm today, had no internet, land phone or TV. However, I could watch stuff I'd DVR'd, so all was not lost. My stuff is a Verizon FiOS bundle. I just blew it off yesterday morning, when I had no channels--just thought Verizon had some internal prob going on and would be fixed by the time I got home.

Wrong.

By the time I got home from work, it was too late for a tech to come out. He showed today about 11:20ish and left about 1:15 pm. Replaced my outside unit, plus my battery pack inside--amongst my clutter in that back bedroom. Oh well, it's MY clutter. About 10 mins after he finished--and everything worked- I headed out to meet chums for meeting/lunch. We sat and munced burritos as said storm blew in. Rain pounded the eatery's windows hard enough for the clock on the inside was pushed away from it.

Anyway, all is good. I'm safe. TV works as thunder roars, lightening brightens, plus rain rinses and it's still the weekend. Saturday the calendar says. So let's cue alittle Sir Elton John who tells us what Saturday is allright for:

Saturday's Alright For Fightin and Then Some!

I'm on my way to play racquetball with Movie Man. I got some fight in me....uh...I hope he doesn't read this before we meet. He's got this funny thing about me runnin around the court like it's good for me..... :) Call 911. I'm looking forward to it tho. Racquetball is good battle to have with yourself. To test your improvement. Call 911.

After that, I'll head home , get all fresh and clean so I can head to some thrift shops. Since I have a new ride where I can actually carry something in it--I may be able to get some stuff instead of waiting for Movie Man and other truck chums. My DIY magazines gave me some ideas. I hear my chum Texas Tanya's hubby laughing at that! :)

In the meantime, I'm off for my racquetball date...Saturday's Alright For Fightin...hey, cue Elton!
