Hope David got his beer and hatches battened down tight. But flooding will likely be the biggest problem.


Thanks!! Oh yeah, beer run was a success! So far, so good! Still have power, and have the a/c's turned down to get it nice and cool in here if (when) the power goes out!
Right now, looking at the track, it looks like we got lucky (again)..! Although, that was just one helluva gust we had out there... Dogs are huffin/puffin...as usual!

Howdy Folks...
Matt, Glad the youngen is OK!!

I had a scary moment this past weekend.....just a stupid accident....had been sitting out on the deck soaking up the sun and watching the little girl in the pool, and I had moved my chair to let the dogs by so they could go back inside...Got up to do something and when I sat back down the chair (and me) went backwards down the stairs...
I know...shouldn't have had the chair near the stairs...(I'll never here the end of that around the house!)..Anyway, it knocked me out for a few seconds......but the worse part is that after I came too I could hear my wife and daughter but I couldn't move or respond, and to top it off I couldn't see either... ...That's a feeling I'll never forget as long as I live..

My wife said my eyes were open, but I wasn't responsive at all---and she thought I was gone... Had a gash on the back of my head that was bleeding really bad...

Well, after a few seconds or so I guess (It seemed like an eternity)...I was able to first see and then move again..so I got up and tried to calm down the wife and youngen! Other than the gash on the back of my head, and various scrapes and bruises, I was otherwise ok! It scared the hell out of everybody...and me too! Very blessed to be ok...could have been a lot worse.. Just goes to show, it can all be over in an instant...just never know...definitely a reminder to not sweat the small stuff...don't take anything for granted....helluva wake up call..!!

Y'all have a good day!

Or commercials that quickly flash images and videos of happy heterosexual couples engaging in fun wholesome activities, holding hands and saying "It's OK to be straight.. we belong"...

Howdy Folks!

Well, unless I win the lotto, I'll probably never have to worry about retirement. Getting closer to 50 now...With a 4 yr old..so...Guess I'll retire when I expire!


On another note...We get to put in a new HVAC...Just the stuff I like spending $$ on We replaced the lower unit about 4 years ago, so I knew we were on borrowed time with the upstairs unit. Just hoping it would hold out a few more years, but it's not worth repairing now..
ByeBye boat fund...for now...Man, I wish I hadn't sold that thing before we went to MO....

Oh well, at least tomorrow is Friday!

Most important. Find a job that doesn't suck. I worked a lifetime in a job I wasn't too crazy about. The only good thing about it is now I get a monthly check for the rest of my life or until the pension fund runs out. Save for your retirement NOW. It comes sooner than you think.

Moanin!

One more day....Taking Friday off to hit the beach...Weather looks promising! There's a few places where you're allowed to drive on the beach--in the undeveloped areas, but now you've got to get permits, etc. When we first moved here back in 1988, no permits were needed and people didn't drive on the dunes, etc. Guess there were a lot fewer people around here then too...Now, we all pay for others negligence..
Still, yearly pass for $50 bucks... I'll take it!

Saw those storms last night Brad, I was wondering if you were getting hammered. We had a few storms roll through with hail last night, but they were to the south of us...Just got some thunder and lightning out of it....Just enough to get the dogs huffin'n'puffin!!

Don-Sounds like a good time!
Matt-Looks like a busy day!!


Y'all have a good Day!
