To those in SW Florida keep your ear to the radio. This reminds me of Charley that hit Punta Gorda in 04.

I sure hope not! That was quite a year...
We are taking note. I have plans to head into town and fill the gas cans and pick up extra water tomorrow.
Its probably aiming for Chuck!:biggrin:

Its no fun being in the Bulls Eye, but its 5 days away. We are keeping our fingers crossed. Ive been through Andrew, Charlie, and Wilma. Its the price we pay for living in paradise.

I was and still am hoping it scoots to the left some and gets us. No damage of course, just the coolness of a huge storm.

Thanks Mike, my son and nephew have been here this week, and are leaving Sunday. I may go with them :wink:

Mike,
Thanks for the reminder. Should be an exciting time, although I'm not looking forward to any of it. I have to hoard some Cuban coffee so I can deal with the media craze.

Yeah, It wants to see his new lathe in action!! If I get the day off I may just go and see it too.
hmmm I will have to check the coffee supply it may be the one thing Im short of. Usually the day of the storm is really boring. In the past two hurricane we were boarded up and setting in the dark. This time i have impact windows and should be able to watch it. If it even shows up.

Great idea Cris.....but, there won't be much action without power for two weeks:redface:

Hook the generator up to the lathe. You know that is more important than the fridge or A/C. :tongue:
Warm Beer yech...... get one of those small 34 in tall fridges and do both.

True, since Chuck down graded his lathe from the 9 x 20 he could probably run both. :devil:

I do have said fridge, but do not have said generator. :redface: Looks like roughing it is what it will take for a certain person will understand its importance.
But, Isaacs not here yet either.:wink:

Isaac appears to be headed to Florabama more than SW Florida.
Still too early to know exactly but it's trending northwesterly.

I was laying down, and got a cramp in my foot
:biggrin: So, I thought I would check on a couple of threads. This one, and the one that teaches me to comment in more depth on pens. The cramp is gone now :biggrin::biggrin::tongue:
