The Lounge vs. Ernesto
Plan 'B' - is now in effect
We decided to add a few more braces & supports to the lounge. We'd like mom to see it & kinda hope it remains standing/attached to our house through Ernesto. Still working hard - now we seem to have a deadline of Wednesday afternoon. This is what we look like hard at work in the heat:
Johnie Law & his Mexican sidekick Poncho added side supports & the layout for a center beam. If I had a whip I would have been cracking it today. Nothing like a solid deadline to speed a project along... stay tuned

johnny law - take it easy on that ladder.
is this the same mexican who thought everything in the emerald city was a sausage fest?
keep up the good work boys. the captain likes a punctual crew.
Did you say WHIP??? I could have helped you out in the department, oh lets say 4 years ago!! Natalie got me a whip for my 30th birthday. Miranda use to play with it and one day it just disappeared.
So will you guys be sitting at home through this hurricane or taking off to safer ground?
So what happens when this gets closer? Does everyday life stop for everyone? Do people go to work? Is it common for people to break into other peoples houses and steel stuff...you know like the areas that are going to get hit and the people have gone somewhere until the hurricane is over? Tell me how this effects everyday life....
yes one in the same mexically. & I made him work till after dark on that ladder.
Not until the storm actually is real close do we go into full blown panic. When people have to evacuate - that's when it gets hecktic. You don't usually see looting and the like until after the storm passes. Even the theives know to take shelter lest they are blown away by the storm. I won't know until tomorrow sometime when it crosses Cuba what the real sitch is. When it comes off of Cuba & starts making way toward us then I'll start getting concerned. Right now it's too far off to have a good idea of what will happen. TOMORROW - will tell.
Everyday life: ummm... don't try to get water or batteries or plywood today. You'll be in line for hours. This is the everyday life crap that you see now. All the idiots who have not yet prepared are running around like their idiotseves trying to find the shit they should have been stock piling for years now. If we are evacuated then the traffic is out of hand. They claim that there are 3 million people living on this penninsula with 3 bridges that link us to land. If we had an evacuation notice of 3 days, there would still be 1.5 million people on the bridges & highway system by the time the storm hit town. We simply couldn't get all of the people out esp. with only a two day notice which is typical. Sense the need to be prepared?
when the evacuation notice is called - 48 hours till storm time - work & schools are closed & all govnt. offices. They start the process of closing/cancellations tomorrow. (idiotseves = idiotselves)
got enough info?
scarrrrry!!!
just come home...would ya?
ummm...geez...we just watched what happened to new orleans, but don't feel the need to stock up on emergency supplies. hurricanes hit here every year, but for some reason it's best to fight the crowds last minute and pray that the stores won't run out of what we need. yeah. that's cool & fun.
heather...are you bloggin from work or home?
from the D.O.T....Bullwinkle likes to proofread everything before it gets cemented into cyberspace.
oh yeah, and ERNESTO?
who's bullwinkle & what is dot? could you shed some light for those out of the loop...
bullwinkle...as in any moose at the department of transportation...i'm a bit disappointed you didn't get that.
I guess I don't know where you work. I thought you worked at Moosehead Cottage Resorts with your mom in the front office somewhere...? I'm so out of the loop - I didn't know you worked for the DOT down by the salt lick. & with all the swamp donkeys it must be a bug paradise!! FUN
i'll allow you to stop harrassing me now.
