Just topped off the solar battery bank with water. Most important of all - replenished the cache of chocolate. nonpareils and malted milk balls. Bring on the storm...

If your staying and have a pool, chlorine supplies disappear too. Last year the chlorine processing plant in Ft. Pierce got squashed. Stock up on chlorine, or granulated shock. If you have no power to run your pump or the A/C in your house, you don't want your cool pool to turn into a bass pond.

I just had my son go count the water bottles. I checked the freezer, lots of bread, lots of ice. Checked the cupboard, tuna, pb&j, paper plates, napkins, plastic silverware. Checked the gas can for the generator. We even have a supply of Dove dark chocolate on hand.

And I'm happy to report that my most critical supply...my coffee...is in good supply, LOL.

(BTW, I've switched from the Farberware Perc to a fancy new machine my sister gave my hubby and I for an early Christmas present. It grinds the beans, measures out the water, makes the strength you want, one cup at a time...pure heaven.)

Well, I'm off to my doctor's appointment for my flu and pneumonia shot.

The hurricane isn't coming anywhere near here but, I still have the 'stocking-up' urge. Maybe I'll stop at Sam's on the way back, lol.

Make sure it gets enough charge to properly mix the distilled water in the electrolyte. Up north, I have to use an auxiliary charger to do that this time of the year -- it has to "boil" a little. Agree on the importance of the chocolate.
