Evening Everyone !!


Everyone in the Path of Hurricane Florence stay safe !!!


Also Hurricane Olivia in the Central Pacific has weakened some , now a Cat 1 and is supposed to hit the Hawaiian Islands by early morning Tuesday

Right now it looks like Maui County and the Big Island are going to take the full brunt of the storm .Luckily for my Brother ,Oahu is under a Tropical Storm watch so I'm feeling better about him being safe


Here's a local Oahu News channel Weather update

What a Monday. Float switch on sump pump took a dump yesterday afternoon while we were away. About two inches of h2o. Got her to run for the night. Bought new pump today and installed. Drying out now. I was not the only one buying a pump today. Friday is going to be interesting.

 

That’s a rediculous amount of water. We get 6 inches and the streets go under. 18 inches is just too much for my mind to handle. Especially if your inland and can’t drain it.

 

No free passes!!!

but no Baskin Robbins around

Nope, not ready.... still have 2 days

Stopped to get gas @ lunch time.... too many cars
Stopped to get gas on the way home.... no gas at the station. Will try again tomorrow.

Work closed until further notice... don't know if it's a or

 

Hit the out of the way mom and pop gas stations , Bring a few cans too.

Evening Sue !!!

Stay safe from Hurricane Florence!!!

Thinking about heading back over to Baskin Robbins tonite for another Pumpkin Cheesecake sundae !!

 

Thats projected amounts..plan for the worst and ride it out!!Looks like FLA will miss this one..

 

Good evening
To everyone in the path of Florence, stay safe. I haven't seen the forcast lately, when are they expecting it to hit.

 

Yup, and hopefully we miss everything this year. Last year truly sucked.
Stay safe everyone, this looks like another ugly storm.

 

Immediate area here can handle 20" but most of the town will be under water here. Found that out 2 years ago. LOTS of road damage and houses flooded out. Drained away from us pretty fast.

All depends on where Florence heads. I'm 30 miles closer to the coast (not sure where he lives, but guessing). wouldn't take long to be ready to bug out if I had to

Gonna do my best. Thanks Chuck.

 

For general info ,
Most folks go to regular fuel stops in a oh shit I need gas moment. If you look around a lot of places like southern states have pumps, some fuel oil distributors have gas, the out of the way mom and pop places have gas and usually have a means to sell with out power too..

Any of you guys down south in the way of Florence that need a place to crash, come on up to CT.

 

What he said up there ditto but DE not CT I am sure most of us in the region have a spare place to park yourselves .

Cypher

 

Or Vermont kinda long drive but your welcome to stay

 

There are a lot of folks much smarter then I in here so I want to ask take a look at this article : https://delawarestatenews.net/news/doc-touts-updated-training-regimen-success/ specifically the very last paragraph.

"According to DOC, 267 correctional officers separated from the department in 2017 and 157 were hired — a net loss of 110. Since January, 145 correctional officers were hired and 105 correctional officers separated from the department — a net gain of 40. Whether this is enough to start dialing back the department’s onerous overtime burden remains to be seen."

Umm.... Yeah umm wait.. Huh ???

Counting the days 2 years 9 months can't come soon enough !!!!
