And by here, I mean near Portland, Maine. Tomorrow I'll head up north a bit to Acadia and Bar Harbor. I better hit the road early!

but we were better prepared than last time. And I don't do FB or forum on my phone. Strictly text and voice. My phone is smart but I'm not. This was a weird storm. Matthew in October had much stronger winds and a lot more water where we are. The winds from this one were like a Nor'easter we occasionally get, but the water was much worse on the Eastern side of the island. While Tybee had a lot of damage, it pales in comparison to Florida. I feel for those people. The backyard. It was a little stressful watching the water rise all morning and not knowing if the storm surge was going to push it higher than last time. One thing I couldn't do anything about was our fire wood pile. This is part of what I have to clean up today, not to mention all of the lumber from the old deck that floated around under the house. Still not near as bad as last time. And I still have some cold PBR when I get too hot.

The nurse comes in and anyone can get their BP taken.. Remember...mine was up in May..finally came down in August.. 114 over 78 today let's go biking now.

Have you tried turning the forum off and then on again?

There's a long, sweeping curve that is the southbound on ramp from I-481 to I-690. Today as I went around it, there was a truck broken down on the shoulder, in the middle of the curve. I was instantly reminded of something. When I was first out of HS, I worked for a vending company. At 4PM on a Friday, Ricky and I got sent with a whole load of machines, to do an installation. We were supposed to get out of work at 4:30 - for the weekend, no less - but that obviously wasn't happening so both of us were kind of angry/bummed. We hauled ass down the Thruway and got off at I-481, then swung off to get on 690, on the onramp mentioned above. As we round the curve, just about in the middle, Ricky looks over at me and says "Oh.....I'm gonna kill ya...." and rolls up on one cheek, like he's going to fart. Just as he does, a tire on the truck blows. <BLAM!> The truck starts shaking and swerving all over the road. He finally gets straightened out and pulled over. "Wow.....I've got some asshole, don't I?" We were laughing so hard it took us a good five minutes to get out of the truck. ? (And then we found that the truck was so overloaded that we couldn't get the spare out between the bumper and the ground, so we had to call for a tow truck and the installation never happened that day anyway.)

Checking in. Thanks for the concern. We are all fine. SIL flight got delayed so this has been her last hurrah before leaving the country for home. We've tried to squeeze in some sight seeing but obviously not a lot is open right now. I spent Monday clearing my home and helping a few neighbors then yesterday was a grand mal effort in helping out a friend who was not as fortunate as me: Power out (He works for the utilities and figures at least 10 days before power in his area is restored) Sewer for that area is on a large sump/pump station also without power so no flushy Several oaks including one that was Arbor certified "100 year old" went down in his yard. One completely crushing a car of his. The silly sod didn't even have a chainsaw. So I was on cutting duty for most of the day and I brought over all the accumulated ice I made in preparation of power outage. His family will probably seek refuge at my house in a few days once pride is overcome by the smell.

Why did you build a gazebo in your swimming pool?

Oh yes, the Aireheads! Good point!

Ty. Do you have or are you going to be able to obtain a permit to right all that overturned furniture. I believe that the town may treat that as an improvement subject to approval.

And my back hurts. Got a lot done today but a lot more to do. I put my tools up and had a few ice cold PBRs on the dock that is still there. But even with the nice breeze blowing I could still smell my stink. I need a nice long hot shower, sleep, and do battle again tomorrow.. It's almost like having a job.

He does that...

Dash scam?

I can see that. I am in agreeance.

I see you more as the Trapper John to RG's Hawkeye. @AirwickWithCheese is your Klinger. Square Wheels is Frank and Wilbur is Colonel Potter. Ralph is Radar.

I have a naturally acquired talent for causing trouble. I've always been Old#7 and am too lazy to change now. RG is the Oscar Madison to my Felix Unger.

This was fun! I like hearing aboot nice shit without having to fork over the dough to buy it. I do have a little SSD envy though!

I can't enter into any dick-measuring contests, I get disqualified immediately. EDIT: BUT I'M STILL GONNA TRY! I didn't know we were describing hard drives. I've just upgraded to this Samsung 850 1TB SSD beauty: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W02DV8168&cm_re=1TB_ssd-_-20-147-374-_-Product My storage HDD is 2TB just like yours, and I have two 4k 120hz monitors for my crossfire'd 780Ti's to combat with. I really would be interested to see if my 5.2GHz AMD would beat your 4.2 Intel. It's too bad there's no computer racing programs.

@Old#7 please click Like or something else on this post so I can see for myself. If it repeats I will send it to the software people as a bug.

Yea! RFW has appeared as if by magic to save the day. She is all knowing about this shit. Turning off and on is brilliant.

As an Accounting professional allow me to answer this question. The # sign or hashtag can be expressed as shorthand for the word "number". 1 is a number. The forum software recognizes this and substitutes the number 1 for the symbol for number, #. This is a programming error. We should blame on the Red Faced Walrus. Square head, withhold the pickled herring.

Through my connections & a double-naught spy seconded to the NSA, I got a message to the Huck-A-Poo-ilian They're safe. Power is out. Ice cream melted.

6 on the commute, 20@15 on the group ride tonight. Let a friend try my old road bike so she can see if the Tuesday ride is for her. She wants to do it again!

A mere 7, a busy day, so just back and forth to work

23.9 Total for the month 306 miles.

Here you go @Airehead. Complete with cute baby pics!

He posted day after.. All is good. Minor plant damage but the house was fine.

Sounds aboot right to me.

Old#7 is chatting up an oriental woman now. She is staring at his crotch.

Old#7 just ran out of the restaurant leaving RG with the bill.

Nice!!! I think its a sign you don't have enough stress in your life.

How aboot those mud hens?

Kids just give you a reason to buy other toys. They do cost a metric crap ton though and being a dad is the hardest job I ever had.

I am hung like a hamster, so I drive a big red truck to compensate. I also wear a cowboy hat at times. Want to call it a tie?

You don't need gears when you have tassles on your handlebars.

It is time I saw that movie again, likewise the Producers.

Nominated for POTD!

Glad you're OK, and that things aren't as bad as we feared (though obviously they're still bad). Good luck with the cleanup.

Glad you are well. Tybee is such a beautiful place and your gazebo is like family to us now.

Thanks for checking in and letting us know how you are doing. Looks like you will be busy for a few days, but thankfully you are both safe.

I believe someone wrote a manual on how to do wheelies. You can obtain one for 9.95 on your phone. Be careful though and don't confuse it with the sex tape on manuals.

25 solo after work miles

I have seen him, but it was several years ago now.

Kirbie is hardcore. I hope you are having a great time.

You need to send me an email and then come to my cube to tell me you sent me an email....

And yet he forgets to notify the one who lives in walking distance to the canal.
