We had a late night last evening as we didn't head off to bed until the worse of the storms passed through our area. Today has been heavy rains, high winds close to 40 mph, and dropping temperatures. One good thing is that our windows and siding on the west side of the house are getting a good cleaning from the pounding rains. Hopefully we won't lose any shingles or suffer any structural damage from the winds.

This morning John worked down in the shop. He has been busy making sofa server parts and when their completed, he'll start assembling the servers. This should keep him busy over the next few days. This morning I got some birthday cards ready to be mailed and worked on the computer cleaning out emails and paying a few bills. After lunch we went to Bemidji to do some banking and picked up a few groceries. Tim and Mary Ellen Miner are coming on Thursday, so I needed to restock the pantry.

This evening the heavy rains and high winds continue. We are just staying cozy and comfortable inside watching a movie and hoping we don't sustain any damages outside.
