Hurricane Irma check-in / status report

[ufgator812]

Went to the Walmart liquor store today and they were out of Old Crow, so I had to splurge for Ezra Brooks. Lol

I've always liked Ezra.

Used to live in Fleming Island, Moosehaven on 17?

And those old peeps like to party. They got music blasting from that place 4-5 days a week. I'm all the way down the street and still hear it clear as can be.

Al Gore just weighed in calling Irma a category 9.

The guy is an idiot, but at least he invented the internet.

Yes he is an famous person who has a way too large of an ego. I do expect if we continue to get storms in the high level of 5 we might get a new number six. Like above 175 or 180.

Staying put in Lakeland, POLK County. Properly prepped with guns, ammo, water, and bourbon.

Likewise in rural NE Gadsden County. Ox can talk about a baby boom in nine months as a result of this storm, but as long as the stove and refrigerator work, I'm orgasmic.

Interesting to me that there was a post referencing both Old Crow ("the Black Pimp" as it was known among my high school contemporaries) and Ezra Brooks. My paternal grandaddy was an Old Crow man and my maternal grandaddy's brand was Ezra Brooks. Both were alcoholics. I lived with my mother's parents from age 16 until they died in the '80's. My grandaddy was great and did a good job of raising me with the exception of the time he got mad and came after me with his .38. I've avoided Ezra Brooks ever since. Wasn't sure whether alcoholism was genetic or not, so I always shied away from liquor. Beer was enough.

Sorry about the trip down memory lane, but at least it took my mind off of the potential for shooting looters on the wing (yeah, it's dangerous up this way without a storm system). Hope you guys and girls stay safe. God bless.

Agree, all you need is beer. Proof there is a god.

But not past like 8PM right? Being that they're old peeps and all...

West Palm Beach. Dug in and riding it out. Still moving slowly west which is better for Palm Beach county but not so good for SW Florida. Impending long term power outage will be miserable.

Yeah, I hate it... shows just how thin a line it is between being a civilized snoot and living like a back country frontiersman,

Same here Ox. We are riding it out even though the St. John's River is right outside my door. By the way, it doesn't look that peaceful now. Wind rolled in about 10am. It is nasty out there. I could barely stand on the dock. This pic was taken this morning.
