Random pic thread.

We finally got some rain out of that. Been needing it.
The lightening fest from 5-7 last night here in Clemmons was the worst I've heard in a few decades. I think the last time I heard activity like that I lived on a granite vein on Oak Grove Ch rd
I was certain my house was stuck yesterday. Hair stood up on my arm and a few seconds later, flash and deafening crack at the same time.
No idea how much rain at the same time but it was a lot

Must have been the same cluster that moved through Hickory. They had 2-3 roads that were under water for a few hours, out of creeks that had almost seemed to dry up this summer.

Never know what you'll see when you take a detour around backed up interstate traffic...

The gents and I have been talking about these false bees. I've had this guy visiting the shop for a while. Today he landed on a piece of plywood so I thought I'd snap a pic.

Goodyear Blimp Air Dock.... You were trying to go around Akron?
Winner winner!
There was a crash on i76 westbound so we ducked around on secondary roads to hit 77 south.

Did almost 1100 miles in 18 hrs yesterday. Left the house at 4:52am, and rolled back in at 10:57pm. Managed 60mph avg speed including renting a car at the Charlotte airport, test driving and buying a car in Streetsboro OH, dropping of the rental at the Akron-Canton Airport, eating 3 meals, stopping twice for fuel, and stopping by my cousins house and chatting for 15 minutes. Not bad. :D

Is there really anyone who would pay that much to go TO Ohio? :confused:

Amen!
My BIL (RIP) who was forced to live there for 3 years with his crazy mom until I helped his grandad kidnap him , true story, always said ‘The only good thing that ever came out of Ohio was I77 South”
So far, I don’t think he’s wrong
