How’s it going?
Hi, Vision. How’s your week been?
Evening, folks!
Hi Gina, all’s well.
How’d you two do with Laura?
Oh, that storm was quite a bit west of us. We got the eastern edge of it, which was just some bands with some rain and gusty winds. So thankful we were spared this time.
June too soon
July stand by
August come it must
September remember
October all over . . .
I don't know if anybody updated it to add NOAA's "end of November" hurricane season definition.
In the 21 years I’ve lived here, I’ve had part of my porch roof removed, had neighbor’s trees come down, block in me and my other neighbor without power for a day, and seen a whole lot of rain and flooding. I’m ready to move back north and stare at a blue sky and a field of snow the next day.

Mmmm! Looks good. I really like Chef John and his recipes.
Hey, I like that, Calvin! It’s true!
Oh, shoot! I didn’t realize he’s a liberal. I guess I’ve not watched enough of his videos to know. I’ve liked all I’ve seen and his recipes I’ve tried, but haven’t heard him spout his politics.
I lived on the MA/NH border. We had a few hurricanes. The street was a little weird, and we were one of three houses that got power through the backyard neighbor off a main drag.
I think it was [a?] Hurricane Bob that felled that neighbor’s tree, snapping the power lines at the houses on either side. The treed neighbor had a punctured roof and lost his standalone garage, including car.
Ours, it snapped the supporting guy wire a couple of inches from the house, that is to say, leaving the eye-anchor firmly in the house instead of pulling it out or worse. Bent the conduit going into the meter, though.
We had power for a couple of days, supplying one neighbor until the tree guys went to work and realized the downed power line was still hot.
Had to run a couple of heavy duty cords to a house two doors away for just the chest freezer after they cut the power.
Propane grill and a NG water heater took care of the rest, save for batteries, candles, and lamp oil.
I think the repair crew in our area was from TN, or some Southern state.
You got lucky, power-wise. Normally it doesn’t work out that way. A big emergency backup generator is on my to-do list. I might get to it when I’m 90. My cousin and her husband in Tarpon Springs and caught the brunt of the one that hit the coast couple of years ago. They have a Class A motor home, so they just made sure they had full fuel and LP tanks, etc., gassed up the emergency generators, stocked the pantry, parked in the driveway which was somewhat leeward of the wind, and rode it out for two days. And theirs is a nicely apointed motor home, too, so I guess it was like a mini vacation in front of your house. When Katrina hit, it was like an endless line of power company cherry-pickers heading down I-85 south, once they got the all clear. They’d otherwise be parked on the shoulder, dozens at a time, waiting. My brother-in-law does commercial towing, and he and his driver went down to move FEMA and privately owned trailers. I think he said he made a year’s income in three weeks. He said he’s have stayed because there was so much more work down there, but he had family obligations. Back home in the Western MD mountains, we may catch the backwash off a nor’easter, but our big thing is lake-effect snow. Generally nothing violent, but if a strong low comes in off the Great Lakes, it’ll snow, and snow, and snow, and snow........winter of ‘96 was a beast. Where I was living in D.C., we got 30” from three snowstorms in four days. I got a nine day paid vacation out of it. I literally hiked to Safeway a mile away twice and backpacked all my provisions back to the house. Tricky when you’re balancing a case of beer on each shoulder, but that beer was ice cold by the time I got back.
Oh, remember I told you I had to call the septic guys back out a second time? Well, he sounded like I woke him from a nap. He said that he couldn’t figure out why the drainage stopped again; the tank was fine. He said if it was just something like a root, they was a quickie, but if the main had gone bad or the lines in the septic field (I didn’t know know there was a network of feeder drain pipes in a septic field in the yard), I’d need to get on the list to get the yard perc tested and it could cost around $3K to rebuild it. *sigh* Great. My wife and I knew he was here when I smelled sewer and she was on the sofa with a quilt pulled up to her eyelids, making her troll face. (I can tell when she’s making her troll face in the dark. Can’t miss it.) He had the lid off and said, “There’s your problem”. Somehow a partial roll of turlet paper got to the end of the sewer line and jammed there, blocking everything. He poked it with his rod, knocked it loose, and at least a hundred gallons of water came out. He said to cut back on paper usage, at least all at once, cut the main line back a couple inches (he said it was sticking a little too far out and causing a restriction - it happens when the tank settles sometimes) had me dump in a box of Rid-X, sealed and plowed again, and I got away with just a $100 bite out of my wallet and more knowlegde of how a septic system is built than I ever wanted to know.
