And so we wait..............
Today was a long day. Steve and I boarded up Spumoni. Darrell helped us out and we went to his house and boarded it up.

Steve's pad is shuttered. My home is shuttered. Spumoni south is shuttered and locked down. There is an emergency escape route for Big Vin and his wheels should the need arise. Jenia and Marlena are hiding out in thier new pad in O. The sky and weather is earily nice. There are no sounds, no nature, no wind. Its dead. This was the calm before the storm last time. When it arrives it will be daytime this time. The last was in the dark. Thats the worst. No idea whats going on out there but the banging and howling is undescribable. Our last 2 hurricanes were quite unerving and unforgettable. I have never been one to worry or scare easily but its not something i had ever experienced The hurricane rushes in and it is like being in a vacuum. You cannot tell whats going on and what you can hear on the radio is all assumptions and guesswork. We sat in darkness huddled in a hallway. We watched as the doors and windows made sounds we never heard before. We watched Big Vins front doors shutter and shake behind 3/4 inch plywood. Jenia and I actually wrapped the door handles with extension cords to keep them shut. Wild stuff. Its like a new ride at great adventure.

But hey lets not forget about the snacks. I saw my mom roll 6 coolers into the house today before we sealed up the front doors. So it aint all bad. There is a rumor she procured an enormous pot of sauce for future enjoyment. Last time we made breakfast on the barbecue and washed dishes with pool water in a giant beer tub.

Well ill blog as long as i have power. They say tomorrow around 6am.
