What kills me is this one weather person on news... she is so "matter of fact" that it is going to definitely go over Hispaniola mountains and be disrupted.

WHERE DOES SHE GET OFF ! ! !

And who and where does she get /form this opinion from ? ? ?

False information and down playing something like this...

They should be liable. heh

Who wants to take the bet ? ? ?

She says... "over the island of Hispaniola" and disrupted.

I say... east end... NO mountains... IN BETWEEN the islands.

Emerging into a MASS of fuel... gathering strength and becoming a full on hurricane... bearing down on my State.

What say you ? ? ?

ME ... OR... her. heh
 

ARC,

Well there's something to be said about the path of least resistance.....so why wouldn't mother nature take the path you're suggesting than butting heads with a mountain.
 

I say better to be safe than sorry.....its just more work for me. Which I like !! I'll get at least 4 paid days if it misses us !! I dont mind getting paid to batten down my bosses boats and homes. I just have to take care of my stuff first. Then it's all about making money from the storm prep....both before and after.
 

Here's a pic of the halibut. Now, a friend fixed this recipe for us using walleye, and it was delicious! It was not the same using halibut. It was tough for starters. First time cooking, honey said he probably over cooked it. Still, it was not as tough as the hamsteak I cooked the night before. :tongue3: It was not as flavorful as the walleye was either. I suspect I didn't add enough garlic powder. Consensus is, "We have plenty of fish to experiment with different recipes and cook time."

Looks like I am going to be right. heh

I am not happy about it either... would rather she was right... for now we will have to see how this starts to play out.
 

Its E... Not I... :P

It is an I storm....and they just ran the list of retired "I" named storms.....its a long list. Like I was saying there running out of "I" names....that's why we got this crazy I name !!
 

Got half the shutters up...and now they say that it might go east....oh well I'll be ready which ever way it wants to go.
 

ARC & Bart,

Glad you guys are batten down the hatches to be on the safe side.
 

Bill I dont have a choice....timing is key in these events. Everyone likes to wait and it always seems that everyone wants to prep at the same time. So I personally have to prep myself first.....then I can focus on my bosses assets tomorrow into sat if need be. If not...well I'll leave some shutters up till the end of the season. And just open the front. I have a glass hurricane door in the back that is new since Irma. The old ones glass blew out behind the shutter in Irma. No water came in but the glass broke. It will be different with a glass door....just seems impossible that its rated for a hurricane !!
 

Yeah people wait.

I don't.

I remember once a buddy says...

Craigslist add for a bad arse small enclosed trailer... $400.

As pulling out with trailer... guy stops him and says "is that the trailer that's for sale".

"It was for sale" was buddys reply.

Guy says... "damn I stopped to get something to eat".

My buddy says... "I didn't.". he said with a big smile.

*** VROOM ***

Don't ask... but for some reason that story which always makes me chuckle came to mind when bart said that.

Anyway... I don't wait... did that trip once.

ONCE !

And it WAS hell.
