This transmission is coming to you from Jacksonville, FL. Wife and I decided to ride this baby out based on the forecast so far. It could change, of course, which would force us to hit the road but they closed all the schools here Friday and Monday which gave me time to do the due diligence i need here at home. My students seems dangerously carefree about all of it and celebrating the fact they had extra days off for school. I simply don't understand why they would rather be home instead of in my classroom showering in my charismatic animistic personality.

Was mowing the grass after work yesterday and the damn thing had an issue. I decided to go ahead and drop it off for service this morning. I wanted to get there before it opened. By some miracle, the gas station beside my repair shop had fuel, so I topped off the truck and filled a 5 gallon can. Checked in my mower, and a shipment of honda nearly quiet generators was dropped off. Picked one up. Stopped at a ghetto kmart, picked up their last AC window unit. At this point.... I can comfortably go 7 days with no electricity with a cold room in the house and a fridge operational.

Oh... and the bar is always fully stocked. I spent about 4 hours today prepping the outside. Im ready. Nothing left to do except drink and wait and play in the pool.

The wife and I decided to stay here on the east coast. The idea of getting on the gridlocked highway, heading north, losing power up there anyway, and then the nightmare of getting back swayed us.

In north central FL. Getting things prepped today. Riding it out. Livestock and other animals to worry about. Got the necessities and a generator so hopefully it won't get too bad. Do need to get some more beer though.

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.

actually could have had a generator today at the mowing shop near me, but they jacked the price up double on them.
