Hello Tropical Storm Fay Tuesday!
 

Good Morning Florida |hurricane
I just realized that I'm leaving for Orlando on Friday for a vacation - Fay better not ruin my good time |angry|

The Bitch & I were still exhausted yesterday after everyone FINALLY left, so we slacked off & did very little. I ended up going to bed at 9:30 & found myself wide awake at 3 AM. So now I find myself a good 2 hours into my day before O & A are even on the air |huh

I'll be spending most of today going over some Fantasy Football stuff as one of the reasons I'm going down to visit Micky & Minnie is for a draft.

Good Morning Everyone |waves|

Mornin' y'all,

|coffee is on, extra strong, help yourself...

Morning? Hmm, having trouble sleeping so...I don't think this counts as morning for me.

Edit: Good morning though *grumbles and goes back to work*

Good Morning

French Market Dark Roast in my cup and yellow haired mexican in my paper. It's a good day.

Off to the beach shortly to feed the squawking masses then back to feed the grumbling pothead. After my belly is full, it's time for a tutor session followed by real work and more marijuana.

Have a smoke filled day!

Mornin All
I'm supposed to go get blood work done this morning, which reminded me that I forgot to take my pills again yesterday, so I'll be blowing off the appointment rather than going in with my blood levels off.
I'm mad at Netflix season two of Dexter comes out today, their shipping melt down last week screwed up my timing.
Coffee's On

Good morning,
I'm already up and I have to be in my doctor office in less than 30 minutes,
Have a nice healthy day everyone.

Windy and rainy still. Went on generator power last night but our power is back on this morning.

Just another day of work and errands planned.

Good morning world |waves|

Still windy and we'll probably have rain all day today, but TS Fay is mostly gone now from down here. Wind tore off a little roofing from some houses nearby and lots of signs down and debris in the streets. Aside from that we're all fine down here as far as I've heard on our 'coconut telegraph' so far.

GG, you should be okay by Friday in Orlando. Looks like Fay will cross over there a day or two before and may have gotten to Georgia by then. Probably won't be so strong being over land, unless it turns out into the Atlantic and comes back ashore.

Pat, yeah it's funny how you come to depend on the excellent turnaround time Netflix gets you used to enjoying, and when their system burps it's like civilization is falling apart around you.

Wishing everyone in the path of Fay as easy a time as we had, and a good day to all who don't have any big storms headed your way too.

:)

Good morning all!

Good morning!

Good Morning Everyone!

A little chilly here this morning but at least its not raining.

Have a good one!

I just finished lunch... but I need a coffee too. Hi everyone!

Morning. I'm up early for some lame ass reason. This zombie state will probably allow me to get some really horrible data entry out of the way.

Glad to Simon that the storm blew through without that much damage.

Have a good one people.

|cheers|

Good Morning :)
Still feeling the effects of the weekend but after a decent nights sleep with no camping, I feel like I am finally getting adjusted to east coast time :D

Good Morning.

I am Back to work. Did anyone miss me? yeah right. LOL well Fay will be on top of me soon .
Peace Mike

Power is back out, running our generator again. I can see one leg of the transformer burnt off and dangling in the air. We have kept all of our trees trimmed but our neighbors have not and their palm hit the power line.

Vacationing in Orlando in the August heat and humidity... if you are looking for some masochism activities you would probably have more fun in Simon's dungeon. :D

Morning, yo.

My back is still killing me, mostly when I extend my 'mouse arm' forward. I'm beginning to think the 11 hours of driving a compact car is not at fault, as I had initially surmised. If I discover that this whole webmastery gimmick is the culprit, I'll kill my sites and drop you all as if I never heard of you. MY BACK HURTS!

Other than that, I have coffee in front of me and another wet day out my window. Damn, I love living in Seattle.

Good Morning well after a marathon of removing a nasty virus yesterday my pc seems to be back to normal other than some strange google search hijack from the ie tool bar :(
So its back to work :)

Good Morning , Nothing new here same shit different day . Coffee is on :)

FPL has actually kept our power on. I opted not to put the hurricane shutters up, and, Fay's eye is amazingly about 60 miles away. Early predictions put it at 120 miles at its closest. As a result, we're getting about constant 60mph winds and the attic fan vent has been pounding for hours. I'd say we received about 14" of rain last night and we had a possible tornado about 2 miles from here last night that destroyed a horse barn that made the front page of our local paper.

Simon, when I was looking at the tide tables, it appears that Fay crossed right over you pretty close to high tide. Though, it doesn't look like Fay had enough strength to cause much of a storm surge.

Cleo, did you use FPL's web application to report the power outage? They spent hundreds of thousands putting that together before someone said - hey, if they don't have power, do we expect them to be able to access the web? Now with cell phones able to surf the web and all, they could pawn it off as good planning.

In looking at Fay's track, this weekend in Orlando should be ok. Based on their forecast, it seems that it will be hovering over Jacksonville while you're here, and the storm doesn't appear to be large enough to keep affecting Orlando as its backside seems clear. But, FanTC, their revised track has it headed your way.

Sue, it seems your weatherman was right. :)

Hopefully everyone will have a good Tuesday.

Morning All! Still waking up. Glad to hear so far all of you in FL are doing ok so far. I can't imagine 14" of rain cd34, glad you didn't have major flooding.

Got the rest of MadHatter's new sound equipment yesterday, so we can now film his reviews with an external boom mike and have sound that you can actually hear him with. But, since we plan on leaving and going into to town for an overnight for my birthday, he doesn't get to play with his new toys until Thursday, lol. The torture. He's got 10 sites he is going to review, and some funny stuff, so next week his site will have more stuff on it.

Other than that, just a day of celebrating my birth with movies and bingo. Have a good one all. |waves|

Yes I did for the second time in 24 hours and to their credit they seem to be responding quickly. They have already been out here to replace the wire on the transformer but I'm still in a brownout so back on the generator.

Morning,

Glad to see the the other FL folks are all ok |thumb

Sparky, were I live never gets anything! We stick out in the Gulf like a sitting duck but seem to stay in the clear..|huh

Have a nice day all |thumb

Good Morning Everybody
Im glad everyone is ok, I was a little worried when they called evacuactions for my area. But looks like just another normal day here.

Good Morning...and damn, it is still morning :)
Starting to feel good these past few days. I am actually sleeping in my own bed, no longer live only in my office and after losing almost 60 pounds, I am now eating like a normal person. Something big must have happened this weekend to start to snap me out of this "depression". Anyway, for those that wonder, I do feel much, much better. Back to work...

Power just went out here... no rain, no wind, underground wires. Neighbors across the street have power, the bastards! FPL says 2480 are affected in our outage.

Oh, now the wind and rain comes. FPL was being proactive.

I'll take a picture of the flooding. Looking at the grass on the tires of the truck, evidently the water level was 8" higher than it is now. But, that's probably because the storm drain just couldn't drain the water out fast enough. Even though the drain is full and as the wind blows, the water sloshes in and around, its still considerably lower than the truck tires.

Nice one Jim :)

Glad everyone is safe from Fay.

I have some work to do :)

Have a good day everyone

HOFFMAN!

FPL says my power has been restored but oddly no little electron things seem to come out of their wires.

Just a few quick snapshots of Tropical Storm Fay Flooding.

Finally its “Going on a Vacation Day!” |party

We leave at 3pm today to fly Curacoa via SFO via MIA and by this time Wednesday we will be on a beach drinking free booze and eating free sushi and smoking Jamacian weed.|potleaf|

Hopefully Fay wont slow us down, some of our friends who we are meeting in Curacoa have been delayed 24-48 hours already, but that serves them right for trying to get 2 extra days.|club|

This is the first time in a long time that I can honestly say, we need this fucking vacation and it’s the first time we have gone to an all inclusive resort so I can’t wait seeing how much free sushi and booze I can intake.|cheers|

No clue if I will be online after today, so everyone have a good week.|boobies|

Good afternoon,

Nice to hear you are doing much better, Jim!
that's a lot of water, Chris.
I wish a great time and safe holidays to whoever takes a vacation...
I hope your power will be back soon Cleo.
We are having a holiday tomorrow..
other than that, I got nothing.

According to the reports, none of the airports in South Florida are experiencing much in the way of delays, so, Torn, you should be good to go.

News choppers have been hovering overhead surveying the damage from the Tornado that hit a few miles away. Can't read the markings on the one, but I suspect its one of the local stations -- the other is our local Fox affiliate.

Huge thanks for that info!|thumb

I'm out, everyone have a good one!|bananna|

where have I heard this before???

|roses|

Hi all. I'm still playing catch up which will keep me busy for quite a while although we were out most of today with those folks from LA. Sometimes you need to take a break :D

Torn: Emmy and I hope you both have a great break |thumb
