Hey y'all in South Florida, are you ready for this year's mess? We've had a good break but it has sadly come to an end. I think I am ready but I hope they all go on to the North Atlantic like Debby. Even Ernesto seems to be turning northward so I hope it bypasses all of us.

Absolutely wonderful! On vacation 'til Friday from the FD. Don't need ANY overtime for this crap. Hope we are all spared. Unfortunately, you are correct. It's time to get ready. Part II.

Good luck you guys. It's nice NOT to be in the "Cone of Uncertainty"

Out here we @ work have to tie everything down when they're coming and untie when they hit land. when we evac. if its going to the fl/al line i have to run home tie down and evac. We live on the beach so they send us pacin when they come our way.

Hey Nestor, whats-up? I hope it goes north.

How far north do you mean? Here in Oak Hill (Down Hill
as my so called friends call it) is NORTH!!!
And Rusty, now we know where all those snagged lures come from.

I prefer my coleman 15 Kw generator to power the entire house. I just changed the oil so I'm ready. Holding on tight down here in FL. Later Ken

Darn thing looks like it's still coming our way but it may not be as bad as they thought. However, I'm not going to get caught like Wilma did last year, everyone said it would be a strong Tropical Storm/weak Cat 1 and when she hit it was a Cat 2! Forecasters say it will move north thru Florida into Georgia and out thru S. Carolina. Lets hope it's just rain and wind!

Hey guys i know the trailer augers work very well for tie downs as well. They are a major pain in the a.. to put in the ground. But if you screw it all the way into the ground you can put a short piece of 4" pvc over the top so its flush w/ the ground.
I wish i could get all the lures off the legs.

Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz, Oh what a relief it is!

I think we dodged this one.

See ya, Ken
