I am praying for the crew of the Tall Ship HMS Bounty. It was caught in Hurricane Sandy off the North Carolina Outer Banks. Two crew members are missing while 14 others have been rescued by the Coast Guard.
Looks like somebody was thinking they could slide around the storm.. but not this big one.
Gonna be a rough ride.
Will keep them in thoughts.
Good attitude!
When the Doctor Misplaced the Epidural Steroid Needle and my body jerked violently, He Said, "Oops, Too Far!"
And I ended up with Adhesive Arachnoiditis.
(Plainly Put...Non-Stop Pain for the Rest of My Life!)
And HE said "Oops?"
Thanks!
The loss of that ship is a shame.
Heard a little while ago from a CG spokesperson on the news that 2 crewmen were still missing, said to be in survival suits, the search still ongoing.
Yeah.
Scary stuff when they start poking around in the spine.
Sorry it went that way for you. I have a couple messed up vertebrae that are pretty painful occasionally, could probably be fixed with surgery. Don't want to take that risk.
I hurt pretty bad a couple days a month, but I'll take that over the risk from an Ooops!
Let's plan a week in the Keys.
You won't have to look over your shoulder.
...just watch where you step.
:)))
That would suit me real good.
Keeping in touch with developments up the East Coast there.
Flooding in the subway system and fires burning down there apparently, buildings going up in smoke.
BadAss Sandy.
A long night ahead of you my friend.
Thoughts and prayers with you and yours.
Pottery,
I think that would be a fine thing.
I know your lady likes to shop in Miami.
Just hand over the credit cards and we'll all go fishing.
He was "fit to be tied".
Okay, for international readers who may not understand my colloquialisms:
Called up, SugarBear answered the phone. Spoke for a couple minutes, asked how they were doing.
"Well....about as well as can be expected." was the reply.
"As well as can be expected with a former Ranger huffing and puffing around the house in frustration?" I said.
Laughing on the phone "Yeah, something like that!"
A RTLSNK with no internet and no cable news is not a happy camper.
Anyhow, he said to tell you all "Hi" and was heading over to the daughters house to watch the weather channel.
For my part, I'm about newsed out for the day.
Take good care and God bless all in harms way.
-Hood Out.
53 degrees here at the moment.
Goofy, thanks for the update. I haven't seen any news since midnight so time to do some catching up.
You guys do an awesome job. I'm sure there are many who appreciate you being there last night.
Was just looking at the images of the devastation all over the place.
Sandy was indeed a Very Nasty Chick.
I guess it's fortunate that the winds were not higher. Those fires would have spread much further.
In the meantime, the blob I was looking at in the Atl has gone away leaving little hope for any respite from this dry/heat.
But there is something in the Caribbean Sea that needs keeping an eye on, if you happen to be on the shores of the GOM or in Florida.
Just sayin'....
Thanks for the heads up, but your Caribbean thing is gonna have to go. I'm not in the mood for any more tropical mischief.
BTW: for anyone that was reading yesterday, Todd's family on Long Island is okay.
Lake Wind advisory in effect.
Parts of the yard have as much spanish moss on the ground as grass!
Oh sure, pick on me when I'm not even here.
It is a lot of fun is it not? :)
Man, you don't realize how you depend on the net
until you are off line for 36 hours.
I'm going to have to buy an I-phone now so I can
still check in, this was nuts.
Seems a truck went off the road about two blocks
north of our neighborhood and took out one of those
big connection boxes of BellSouth's that housed all
the high speed internet connections in this area.
Came back on about an hour ago.
Glad to be back.
Good to see you up and running.
Your computer, that is.
You didnt miss a thing while you were gone.........
well, except for..., and then...., and stuff and whatnot, in Grim Abundance.
Morning Arkers
Have been watching it live stream the last couple of days, unreal especially the beach areas.
Todd have you heard from your folks?
Anyway a very bad situation all around.
Yeah, what he said.
...or tried to say.
:)))
Shep doesn't do 45F and windy.
Woodstove is pumping and waffles on the table.
I'm good.
:)
Gasp!
Your wind gauge broke?
No problem...toss one back up on a branch.
:)))
Still plenty of moss in the trees. Too much actually.
Good Morning All.
Good to see 'Snake back online.
Gonna take a steamy shower and try to get head cleared and joints loosened up. Back in a while.
Felt isolated and out of touch with the world.
41.4*F was the low here at 0800 hours, no snow yet.
Still NW winds at 8 to 10 mph.
Gardens are shut down untill we hear back from the lab.
More and more of SugarBears plants are dying.
They better hurry up before she torches all four gardens.
She asked me if I had a flame-thrower in the garage.
I said no, but I do have a big turkey fryer unit. LOL
Turkey fryer on a stick.
Yeah...that'll do it!
How are things on your coast?
Been so busy watching Sandy that I haven't taken time to look to port.
things are very very wet here
Ghostly Greetings!
Thanks!
Hope you both have a goulishly good Halloween!
YOIKS ! Bad Stuff.
My Dear Fellow, this is a Disaster of Unmitigated Extent.
What's going on?
When do you get the report from the Plant Path. people?
If there were a die-off like that around here, I would be faced with a Very Unpleasant Situation. Namely, Lady Pott.
I wish you well, and look forward to you maintaining your equilibrium in these Most Trying Times.
BAH , to unwanted life-forms.
Good news is some money found it's way into the checking acct. Need to go do some shopping.
Back in a while.
Did it blow in there with Sandy ?
In any case, that's Brilliant.
I'm looking East and South...
Spent the morning down in the Wild Fowl Trust (south of here) and the sky turned quite nasty with loud rumblings and a stiff southwest wind.
A few puddles on the driveway when we got home.
Came home and checked the maps...
GLORY BE, there be clouds coming in!
Happy Halloween to you as well. Angie dressed as a pyrate girl for the Halloween party at work. Came out and asked what I thought. I said I thought she wasn't taking my fancy rapier to work! She proceeded to wield the thing in my directions (still sheathed) and I threatened to take it away and spank her with it!
She didn't think that was funny. Wish I'd had taken a photo so I would have a Halloween pic to post for you guys.
Pottery,
No, just the normal money services rendered that comes in around the first of the month. At least Sandy didn't blow any of my money away. That's a big plus over some past storms.
Big pressure changes here today gave me a headache. Thought I was getting rid of it until I got out on the highway. Idiots swarming everywhere and it's not even November.
Anyway, looks to be a train of moisture heading your way.
Hope it works out well for you.
Ah, what comes around goes around. How many times have I been stuck behind a Cadillac with Florida plates cruising 62 mph in the fast lane?
:oD
Luckly it wasn't a buick,
they would be going slower
Ha!
Cadillac should have been a clue!
Those are snowbirds who have their legal residence in FL for tax purposes!
:o)
Pyrate girl's on her way home.
Busy grilling up some steaks, but will check in later.
Carry on!
