Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Home ownership, the job that never gets a vacation.

Safe navigations to work.

 

Good morning friends! Hope you all have a wonderful day

 

THIS Jeff and any and all people in the path of helene

 

Downpours on the commute in- no leaks

Be safe out there manly men.

 

Good morning shop crew, have a great Thursday.

I’m good over here Jeff. It’s a little rainy, they did put us under a wind advisory from noon to midnight for gusts to 45mph but that’s all for us. Good luck to you. Those storm surge heights for Tampa Bay and the bend area are scary.

 

Welp got sent home. They cancelled 30 flatbeds today and not working they only kept 4 guys in my department to put stock away as it's made.
Currently at home conditions

4.36" so far.

 

Which is worse, smoking at the pump, or.....

 

Shocking

 

Tornado warning here a little bit ago. Other than that I think we might be in the clear now. Best of luck those up in the panhandle.

 

Best wishes to all affected:

Which brings up something I hadn't really considered about EV's, if TSHTF and you need a bug out vehicle an EV is severely limited.

 

Random quote of the day:

"It's amazing how far he got considering how dumb he is."

Said about a former manager at the way back job.

BTW, it's true, the dude is a brick.

 

Better have a little 2k gen set in the trunk if you plan to bugout in an EV!

 

Or if you can find someone willing to tow you along for a while you could get by like this.

Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick comes to mind here

 

Haven't had much wind just some mild rain for most of the day today in the Destin area. So far we've been fortunate with conditions.

 

Put it this way, my wife still asked me if I wanted to mow the yard when I got home today. I said it can wait until it's not blowing 37 mph ok.
