Good morning world...from Hurricane Central

I've been looking at the various storm track projections and it does look like Isaac will come right this way, probably as only a Cat 1 but it's too early to be sure. Usually when a storm has to come across Hispaniola and Cuba we can count on it getting nicely shredded by the mountains on the way to us. But there are tracks this time that show it could move a bit north and miss the mountains completely. Then the question is does it still come at us or keep the northward track and hit the mainland (Cleo and cd34) instead.

I guess I'll make time to put the top back on the Jeep and more gas than usual in its tank. Aside from that I doubt I'll be preparing like I would for a stronger storm. So just the usual work on the agenda for the next few days unless something changes.

Wishing a good day to all.

Morning all

No hurricanes heading at us here, but we did get lots of rain yesterday. This has been the rainest July and August I can remember here. I am afraid to look at my next electric bill, as we have been forced to run the AC a lot more than normal because of the Florida like humidity.

Went to the grocery store this morning to pick up some coffee and cat food (two essentials) now back home and back to work.

Stay safe you guys in Florida.

@Greenie, good luck! My son is going through that and it is a PITA. At least he just relocated back to Alaska from West Virginia, and it seems like they are helping him a lot more up there.

Have a good one all.
