My generator started on the second pull after sitting in the shed over two years,  hopefully I will not need it and it can go back to gathering dust in the shed
Last storm here, the guys were prepping the generator. It started on the second pull; son threw his arms in the air and started dancing around like Rocky. :laugh:

I felt the same way,  figured it would be at least two hours of headache to get it running smooth.  The 20 minutes I spent putting it away right last time I used it was time well spent

Found something talking to a neighbor over coffee before the sun is up.

My oldest neighbor, nearby, next door-ish has chosen to move three houses down, thus avoiding having an even worse disfigurement of his living lifeworks.
 Mentioned another neighbor who lost his wife a few months back to heart attack (58YO awesome woman just fell in her garden and died right there) ...

... happenstances and situational "crossfire hurricanes" (ancient rock reference for Stones fans.) have come to some rescue.

The man who lost his wife has tried to sell me his 55 Chevy hotrod for ages, but I have a Chevelle now and I am faithful to my girls.  :lol1: (never believe anyone who has to stress their faith or loyalty)
But I look at that '55 and I want that babydoll, too! Can't afford to add her to my stable right now.

His loss has forced him into a smaller home resulting in his present home being available to our oldest old neighbor. to acquire.
So, one old, inconvenienced soul is moving Three Doors Down (with the help of every DAMN one of us neighbors, guaranDAMNteed!!). Another old, tragically suffering the loss of a lifelong partner, decent fellow is downsizing his shit so he can travel some. (he wants to go piss down the faces of Mount Rushmore. I don't think that is allowed)

That whole complicated set of things sounds pretty damn good to me at this point.

I just helped another "friend" sell her recently passed husband's motorcycle, but I can't even seem to get a nibble on an old Chevy.
 :dunno:

The whisky, earlier, was nice but otherwise today's been forgettable.

I'll take one of those.  The forgettable, not the whiskey, but enjoy them both to the fullest.


Mentioned the young "man" neighbor kid with lots of balls, right. His mom has gotten her settlement from the city.
Being an already displaced family and still on the rolls of the Habitat For Humanity successes, she had an additional player in her court as thing developed.
I am so pleased for them. BUT, now she can shop for a house for their future on her own.

That is a good day!

Heard on the radio that gas stations are already running out of gasoline because of the national shortage.  Glad I filled up earlier this week.  If the hurricane leaves us without electricity it's going to be quite tough-and-go for traveling.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

Another fairly forgettable day without any particular highs. But maybe that's a good thing.

Sat through many hurricanes and the fun is over for me, since I was about twelve.

Best of luck to you.


We are fine on gasoline and the price has dropped below 3$/gallon this week. Wish I could email you some.

There has been a bit of a kerfuffle at times, getting two dogs to settle into pack-like behaviors under one roof, with the massive distractions we are still trekking as a family.

This morning when I woke up, the two were sleeping peacefully together using each other as pillows.
I think we are there with the month long integration of two alphas.

Got stung by a wasp yesterday. Did not go into anaphylactic shock. This is the good thing  :hahaha: because having never been stung, and having a stupid pile of allergies, I've been paranoid I'd be susceptible to a bad reaction.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.
