Katrina and the Wave...looks like I'm going to get a lot done on the car this weekend.

There won't be much "Walkin' on sunshine" going on.

My wife is cheering for this one, it was named after her.

Paul, no biggie. Remember like 2 years ago, when that hurricane hit my car?

Damned Canadians!

Stay Safe Paul.

Just talked to my sisters, they are ready for it.

The car is on jack stands, so I'm ready.

I just finished preparing some bids for FDOT and SFWMD, to fix prior hurricane damage

maybe I should hold the bids till after the weekend?

Hope we win some of this work, so Ill have a chance to get down to Fla rather than go to Bismark ND

Yup already got a hotel reserved in case it comes this way. Still up in the air after it clears Florida.

Well at least last time I looked.

I still have most of my plywood covering the windows.I only uncovered a couple of windows the rest is staying up until November! I`m ready.If it doesn`t rain today(hasn`t missed a day in two weeks) I`m going to take Lil Red for a ride tonight.

My son and granddaughter are on a Carib cruise. They're steaming in circles just off Cuba waiting for K to blow by so they can get back into Lauderdale. Looks like a few free days will be added

I hope your jackstands are high enough to keep the car dry. Good luck.

Actually we're getting the first feeder bands of rain right now. And I'm on the west coast of Florida. David (synthesisdv) in Miami Beach will get it first.

But it's time to feel good. Hey!

Guess I'll just finish up some nitnoid stuff on the 914 while my lawn gets watered this weekend.

All my kids are grown; why couldn't it have hit during the week?!

You know you are in a world of hurt if:





Jim Cantore is standing in your front yard.

Rock on ya'll and stay safe.

This ain't much of a hurricane. Hasn't rained here for 24 hours. The weekend is looking better all the time.


But Joe, you better be packin' up....

Just been gettin' cloudy, but that's about it. Nice and breezy; garage work was comfortable for a change. Scheduled to rain later on this evening, though.

My brother in Miami said power went out 'bout 7:30pm last night, and came back up 'round 2:30pm today. He didn't suffer none, he's wired with aux. generator.

Joe, you better confirm that reservation because it looks like you'll need it.

Expected landfall, Mobile, AL, Monday, possible Cat 4+....

Run Joe, run....

just left you guys this morning, sun was shinning!!

Yea I know we are stepping up the preps.
I was screwing around with my fenders all day, cut the grass, trimmed a tree. come in the house for a beer and Son of a bitch it's got Seacliffe dr. dead center in it's sights.
Well at least my chain saw works Brand New 3.4 Hp Stihl 20" bar.
car runs and full of gas.

Just got boards and put outside stuff up.

Paul,

I don't think Tampa has anything to worry about, but those of us in N.W. Fla. who survived Ivan and Dennis and T.S. Arlene, and T.S. Cindy all within the last 11 months are in the path again. And we are getting fed up with it!!!

I also put my 914 up on jack stands before Ivan and I still got salt water up to the inside rear view mirror. The house had four feet of water in it.

I am 57 years old and have lived in N.W. Fla. all of my life and we've never been hammered like we have been during the past year. My folks are looking for a house in Tennessee. I haven't given up yet. I still like getting up in the morning, walking outside, and going fishing whenever I feel like it.

Jim

Joe,

I see you are in Gautier. It looks like the latest projections put you in the bullseye. Batten down the hatches and good luck.

Barry, if I decide to part out my 914 I'll give you the first shot at it.

Jim

Yup, Woke up this morning with Jim Cantore standing outside the Treasure bay casino in Biloxi.

CRAP So you all know what that means.
AND THEY CANCELLED THE AUTOCROSS THIS WEEKEND
