Tropical Storm Danny has arrived. We spent the day inside watching movies. Danny hit us with 44 knot winds and seven tenths of an inch or rain. Waves were eight to ten feet. Brenda and Margie cooked brownies and we grilled the rest of the sirloin tips that our friends had left behind. Brenda and Margie also started another jigsaw puzzle. Meanwhile Dennis and I traced down a circuit and wired a receptacle for the small refrigerator in the guest quarters.

Throughout the day we were checking on the windows to see how much rain was coming in. One window pane on the northeast side blew out and I put a piece of plywood in to hold us over. The downspout on the same side blew off.

Like I said, we didn’t venture out today. It was just plain nasty, wet and cold. But it was also interesting to watch the waves and the storm as it made its’ way north and east. Tomorrow Danny will be gone and the sun will most likely shine.
