Thanks for the ping, rxsid. Did a quick read. Do more later.

We are taking care of last minute things here in Cape Breton NS to prep for the arrival of Hurricane Bill tonight. Even though the wind speed is down, we still will probably get 100 mph gusts tomorrow morning and mucho rain.

We will almost surely lose the power but if it’s out for more than 24 hours, we’ll fire up the generator and turn on the computers.

If you can believe it, the brand new door handle on the backdoor fell apart today and won’t go back together so we’re rigging a closure device for it since stores are all closed up.

I’ll let you guys know what happens - it’s my 3rd hurricane; second one here in NS, with the first being in Florida. This might be the most interesting one of the three.....will check in later. Around midnight, we’ll probably lose internet for a 12 hours or more, though. Gotta go for now.
