I'm trying to not worry about my girl, she's in Hampton Roads area.
On a good note. I'm sooooo glad I sold my house in VA this summer! No flooding basement/repair crap to deal with.Lost in the right direction. -

Tuckahoe is in Hampton Roads area too.
My daughter has ridden out plenty of storms, I know she'll be fine. Once, they evacuated her university but she stealthed in the dorm.Lost in the right direction. -

We'll be fine it's only a Cat 3 storm it's not declined to tropical depressions super duper storm status yet. If it does though, oh sh*t we're screwed!Of course I talk to myself... sometimes I need expert advice. -

i don't check weather on a long hike.
if it rains - it rains. i'm prepared. if i'm already out there i don't see any advantage in knowing its gonna rain 6 hours from now. i'll figure that out eventually anyway from looking at the sky. if it doesn't rain thats even better.
on a weekend trip i'll check before i leave home and if its gonna rain all weekend then i stay home.2,000 miler -
I'm thinking about canceling an upcoming hike. It's not the rain that's scaring me, it's the flash flood watches.Lost in the right direction.

Week end weather forecast has changed for the worse, raining now, I'm headed out this afternoon anyway, don't mind the rain, just wish the nights were going to be as cool as predicted a couple of days ago.I may grow old but I'll never grow up.

We have the two signs that fall is near at hand...the dogwood trees have started turning red and the toilet seats have started turning cold.
drizzling rain off and on here.
That reminds me of an article I read about 20 years ago about privy seats in the Northeast U.S. Evidently several people complained about splinters in the buttocks when they sat down on the wooden toilet seats.
So... a study was done and the seats were switched out for aluminum alloy seats. So then sitters got stuck another way, frozen to the seats.
No idea if it is true or not.--

Felt like I was going to freeze walking to the Baseball Hall Of Fame this morning. When we moved the car at lunch time (2 hours free parking) I made sure I put a jacket on.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Still not approved to drive, so relying on my 15 year old son to drive. His take on the area was that some one should give them some dynamite so they could make straight roads.

I had planned to change the oil in the car today but it's too darned wet out and I don't have a garage to work in.
Maybe later in the day, we'll see.
I once changed a clutch in a dorm parking lot as the garage was occupied with a furniture building project.

Wish the boats I has to deal with on Nantucket during a hurricane were as placid as that. I made sure my knoves were sharp because I usually ended up at the compamines Boat Basin. Jumping on a loose boat in 3' or bigger swells takes someone completely nuts. That's where I came in. Been several times When me & dockmaster made jumps on wild boats in a huricane. Any line ( what we call rope on land) was fair game. Saved their boat & our pier! During the "Perfect Storm " a locan I knew tried sneaking his boat in the marina & hiding it under some pier cottages. Tide got so high it was getting smashed under it. I was cutting his dredge lines & throwing them to people on the dock. After I had enough they pulled us to a safe spot & I told them how to tie the boat off. A person on the dock crew knew him & confronted me. Said he made his living dredging for scollops with those lines I had just cut. In the middle of a hurricane this boy had a problem! I just looked at him as the wind & rain pelted us & tell him who did it. Bruce can splice his lines like he did before. At least he has a boat left! After the storm was over & I caught up on sleep after being up for several days staright, I ran into the owner of the boat. He not only thanked me for saving his boat, but also for cutting his lines in the best spots for him.
