NWI INGO General Thread #27 - Fresh Pink Air On US-30 smells like...

Does Indiana get hurricane effects once in a while or is this really unusual?

Yes. Not unusual.

Not unusual. It does happen every now and then. Can't remember what year it was but the remnants of a hurricane brought us 18" of rain in 12 hours. Lots of flooding from that one

Lake County jail had inmates sandbagging. Day off work then an email that said leave early and try to find a way to work. SR 6 had only the middle passing lane drivable.

Fortunately from our end they keep downgrading the severity of the forecast. Was originally supposed to start at 11:30. Just getting rain now, and even then it's not even "use window shield wipers" rain.

Cleaning out the gutters at 8am wasn't on my list of todo's for today, but it had to be done. Had 4 downspouts that were blocked by sticks and leaves. Should last until Labor Day.

Great.
I need to do that.
Keep forgetting

Stopped raining for the moment. Sidewalks are starting to dry.

 

[Ballstater98]

That was a good nap.

Bold move what does it look like next to a regular lower ?

It looks okay. I'm not sure what my options would be though, as it's unlikely I will find an AR-15 lower that will match.

Somebody on Facebook just said that Whiting, East Chicago, and Ford Heights are flooded bad.

Been relegated to not much more than a steady sprinkle in Hobart and Lake Station

I drove to Hammond and back to Portage this morning. Very light rain as I got back to Portage. It's been that way all afternoon. Traffic on 80/94 was a cluster. So I decided to take Ridge Road both ways. And they are working on the Kennedy Avenue over 80/94 in both directions. Was really glad to get off of the highway today.

 

[actaeon277]

Yeah, I probably should. I am used to eating around 5-5:30, so I should just stick to that. When Mom was here, we had a schedule and a routine for everything. Now I'm having trouble sticking to it when it's just me. I've picked up about 5 lbs, so I'd better get my **** together pretty soon.

I am the king of not having a schedule.
It sucks.

Go most of the day without eating sometimes. But then eat twice in 4 hours.
Go to sleep at 3 am, but then needing to get up at 8:30 to go to the Legion.
Then get a migraine.

And I have no one to blame, except for myself.

Been a light drizzle here all day

Throw in some soap and that is their first bubble bath in years

Cleaning guns in the garage. Come show me how.

Totally unrelated, I once got caught in the Ford Heights speed trap. Cop was a big Barry White-looking dude with a jerri curl. He was the most polite policeman I have ever spoken with. We were having such pleasant conversation that when he handed me my ticket, I thanked him.
