The Weather Channel is being their alarmist selves again. Just heard them say this could be the worst storm the Boston area has ever seen in some people's lifetimes.

I have plenty of batteries, we can bake our own bread as the thing is approaching, and milk would spoil anyway if the power's out. My water comes from ground water wells. What I probably need more than anything else is gas for the chainsaw.

And don't forget to top off your car's 3/4 full gas tank, so it can sit in the yard all week underneath a downed tree.

Fill the fridge and freezer w/ frozen bottles of water, use a cooler for drinks so you are not opening and closing the fridge! I go the old fashion way for lights, hurricane lamps. Gotta get a gallon or so of lamp oil. Gas grill or camping stove is a good idea if you have electric range. I'll load the iPad,iPod,iPhone (recharge w/ car charger) up w/ movies and pull out some books. Don't forget markers and crayons for da kids!!

Well its official now- Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel is coming to report from somewhere on the Cape.

So maybe one of us should stand next to him casting a bottle plug into the Maelstrom. That would be a good video.

I think Jim Cantore is a robot. He must never sleep.

Well I might not be the sharpest pencil in the box but the boat is pulled and i have taters,salt pork and hogs so we should be in good shape. I hope.
O ya we have company coming Sunday for a couple of days. Should be fun.

I have a 3 day trip planned to Truro starting Friday with the camper, I guess I should cancel it and try to get my money back

By tomorrow the trailer wil have two new leaf springs, four new hubs, new hitch, new jack, new safety chain, and new cable on winch... Big heavy pile of old junk next to it right now. All four brakes were gone. Not putting any back on it. Undecided as to whether I will haul or not. If I do, it will be Saturday night...in the dark, when the morons have left the ramp.

As for the house, I already lost the big trees last weekend, but still have a box elder that I would like down. Better half gets back tonight, so she can handle the provisioning. I am already fielding calls from clients wanting help or work ahead of the storm.... Two calls to haul their boats out for them in the past half hour.

None of that is of any use when you're sober...
