@catwoman500 , too funny about that jersey. Well, not funny really, but glad to hear the owner might get a new one back.

My brother brought his Roku and both my brothers subscribe to NFL Ticket, so we were able to stream the Commanders game here in TN. 🏈

@LaDolceVita , drive took me about 8 hrs. with rest stops and gas stops and when I hit Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, the skies opened up. My worst nightmare — driving in pouring rain on streets I’m unfamiliar with. Yes, had GPS, but couldn’t see. You’re right — traffic was very bad, but was sorta glad since it was moving sooo slow, I could just more or less see my next turn instead of zipping by it in the pouring rain.

Looking at Cades Cove with its historic structures and Wed., it is closed to vehicles, so cyclists and pedestrians can use it. 11 miles, but it’s a road walk, so it’s doable, but I would have to stop and thoroughly check out each building which would add an hour or two and I HATE road walks, but we’ll see. If it is crowded, it will be a no-go. Don’t like hiking elbow-to-elbow. 😕

@SummerOnTheWay1 , here’s the only pic you’re going to get from me right now. It was a visitor we got outside the back deck.

@catwoman500 , oh yeah, time to make it a tie for 1st in division!  😄

Best I can say it Is a translation year for the Packers!

It is a great drive.to the game!

Two days of sunshine and temps in the 80’s coming, wishes do come true. Magnesium and PT zonked me out for 3 days straight. My predominant hand “Lefty”, has returned to say hi. I missed it for 2 years, now if I can just lose the voice type app in Windoze, I’ll be really happy🤣

If you dislike driving in torrential rain, check out Amtrak senior discounts rock, $10 to Boston and my sanity, says no bird flipping at other drivers. Also only takes an hour vs 4 1/2 hours by highway. Only similar drivers would be in Sicily, perhaps some parts of Maine and NY for merging on highways.

No color changing of leaves as yet, round about 2-3 weeks who knows.

Last question for @DaveMcK does WI have parts of the Sail or Motorboat loop(  The Great Loop” it came back t0 me 5 minutes age- remember going motoring on canals when my S.O. Wanted to take a practice cruise before UK, cheaper and semi-closer.

@catwoman500 , congrats to you and those pesky 😉 birds.

Wash. literally scored that TD in the last TWO SECONDS of the game!  Haven't been that excited about a Football Team/Commanders game in a loooong time. But... alas...  😥💔

October, month of black cats.  Unfortunately, this has not been the year for black cats around here.  First, BUC quit coming around.  Delilah, still my baby even though she was an old lady like her mom.  And now, Armani -- still MIA for over 2 weeks now.  I miss them all dearly. 😥 

Mary and I are having big  issues with the NFL and the NCAA going to Special pay for view channels. It seems that we are paying way to much for cable TV now without adding a fee for a single  channels.

Football is getting to be totally priced out of the average persons ability to afford.

Wisconsin games on Peacock are a 'big pain' and costly for local businesses and fans.

Oh my, @catwoman500 , so glad you made it to the hospital OK.  That sure can be scary having to drive yourself and then have to walk to the entrance instead of being dropped off.  In PAIN, no less! 😱

I went down myself when an old knee injury came back to haunt me.  Arthritis, no doubt.  Been plagued most of my life with periodic episodes albeit rare; this time it came back with a vengeance.  Nothing but time will make it better.  Starting to walk a little more and more normally now, but still not up to par.  I think my Fitbit wonders if I went MIA. 

The copious rain we got yesterday probably didn't help, but seeing sunshine today.  A tad breezy and chilly though. 💨

We had our first frost last night. Not sure.how much damage it did here. 

We have many colorful trees and bushes. 

We had about 4" of rain over a couple of days last week.

How was the weather in your area and what is expected over the next few days?
