It's shanty time! Here is one I heard as a kid, one variant of a very old shanty which was somewhat risqué for its time. I can't recall all of it but it goes something like-

As I was a-rolling down Great Howard street
A sassy flash packet I chanced for to meet

Give me some time to blow the man down

Of the port that she hails from I couldn't say much
But by her appearance I took her for dutch

Give me some time to blow the man down

Her flag was three colors her mast head was low
She was round in the corners and plump in the bow

Give me some time to blow the man down

I fired my bow chaser the signal she knew
She drew up her courses and to me hove to

Give me some time to blow the man down

She was bowling along oh she was running free
She was from The Black Arrow bound to the Shakespeare

Give me some time to blow the man down

And yard arm to yard arm away they did go!


AARRGGH!

I wish I could remember the rest of it. :tard:

Had one hell of a gully washer today. Winds were gusting at 80. I battened down the hatches just in time!

It also brought down this massive tree. Note the curve behind it. I've watched two people nearly run headlong into it, though I put up a bunch of warning flags.

FD got some branches cleared, but it's pouring down rain, pitch black and windy. They'll have to do it in the morning.

Good morning crew mates!
Hoist the anchor! We sail with Bart on a treasure adventure!!!
Good luck Bart, I hope you find some fantastically awesome treasure!

RR than was a really good array of photos and song. I see you got a shot of my house, just after the lightning pic. Now if you just put the cannon by the front door that's it!
My tablet keeps trying to turn you into DR instead of RR. :dontknow:

Rook so glad you are safe, bad weather for sure. Our prayers for those in the devastation.
 

Good morning Rook , Captain, WD..where ever you are.
Good night Simon.
