You know Gand, I read your sig and it's impressive, but you have also added years to your life too. I know you can't really quantify them, but it could be a decade. And it's a decade without Emphysema (my grandfather suffered from that, 3 packs a day for 45 years, non filters for a long time of that too).

That sig is impressive.

My Dad quit twice once for 3 years and once for 2 years. He is smoking again. My Mon is still smoking.

When you gotta poop and maybe quickly how do you remove that getup?

Ive been fortunate enough to not experience that , yet. I handle my business before hand. The troops where they offer beer sucks though, no way to get that off fast enough.

Ha, this should be interesting, I am currently in Santo Domingo...hope it stays a little west.

If it goes on the projected path Reef Road should get a kicking swell with offshores. Bummer for me.

Still hasn't turned north. Headed WSW. Crap. Hopefully we can salvage some vacation time in the Keys after it passes.

Or maybe Big Bad Hurricane Matthew
it went from tropical storm to cat three in 48 hours, it's probably going to get stronger

We'll know by Sunday if it's time to panic or still be in total denial.

Polar, you might want to put a fresh coat of rain-x on your tupperware suit just in case.

Wait, we can rate posts.
Storm does look nasty though.

Time to change the title.
Now a Cat 4. :hairraiser

Baits Out

Yep. Now a Cat 4 -- though supposed to pass about 240 miles east of us.

Been down here for over a half century and know the accuracy of hurricane forecasts this
far out. Thus, am preparing for the worse.

This house is pretty much of a fortress. New roof within the last 5 years and
new hurricane impact resistant windows a couple years ago.

Last thing is to bolt down the two ceiling hatches in the house leading up to the "attic"
roof trusses. Don't want them sucked up into that area.

Good luck to us all.
