What hell is on the mainland? I am a Cape Caawwd boyo. . .my loves and my heart are there! Silly COOPs. .. LOL(K)
NO! PRIME RIB!!! ;-)
Check the noon report, posted. The storm will be gone by early Sat a.m.
That leaves me Sat. Sun. Mon of brilliant "end of summer" sunshine!
Besides, all the rest of the family is already at HOME-base. . including Mme Bouvier! Bro & Sis and their spouses and the KIDS!
PLUS PLUS. . Peter is there! And does not have 4a.m. opener shifts all weekend. hehehe. . .hola!Ole!
PLUS PLUS PLUS I am leaving in a couple hours headed south. If the world evacuates OFF to the mainland I will Rte 6 east all to myself. BUT NO ONE is evacuating.
There'll be some "swells" in the Habour. . I doubt the catamaran Salacia will be making the skim from Boston on choppy seas with high waves. . . but, babe, LIFE will happen. .. LIFE will go on. . it always has and and will. . . .
world without end. Amen.
Let all the faithful say: AaahMen!
hahahaa
sea yas. . .

it's weird, since i was just on the cape only a month ago. And i can understand wanting to be home, but with the excitement comes danger.
Stay safe, Justin.
Yes Justin the entire east coast of North America is watching this one! We are ready here as Earl is supposed to hit landfall somewhere in the Maritimes.
Good luck in getting back safely Justin. And have a great weekend on the Cape.
Jim
Have fun. Justi (you too Peter)! Please know that I will be praying for your safety... As well as the safety of your family and mine who live on the Mainland in Massachusetts... but not too far from the Cape.
I'm about as far away from Earl as anyone can get, and that's exactly where I wanna be.
Don't hang your washing on the line just yet, Justino. As Jimm says, stay safe.
Actually, I'm not sure what it takes to stay safe during a hurricane, but if it means wearing a condom, then wear one.
While you may enjoy this sort of thing, we just had a tornado here last week. And it makes me glad that 3 weeks ago, I canceled a cruise from NYC skipping up the coast to Boston and eventually Halifax and back that was supposed to leave Friday afternoon.
Instead we opted for a camping trip with the dog on the west coast of Michigan.
We are sending you a cold front to help push the hurricane off shore right away. I hope it helps. Either way, be safe. And enjoy the weekend after, provided there isn't a lot of damage.
Thanks, JIM. . .I am already home! hehe. . ..waste no time doing Road Trip. . .heheh No problems at all...sun was shining. . .much of the time.
Nice to be here. . .we are ready. . all depends, for us, the force of the winds. . . .;-)
Goo luck to you guys in the Maritimes . . .sounds like you might get is head on!
Good luck!
justin
Thanks, Gary. You mean a "body sock"? hahahahahahahahaaa
Thanks, Erich, for all your great thoughts and wishes. Will ;let you know what happens. . . LOL

OK COOPs. . .not bad yet here. . .i wonder. . .I am glad I followed my fancy and came home early. . .no prob anywhere cuz the old Earl is still waaaay South of us. . Glad to be here. We had a "family good time" this evening. . . .all of us.
Everyone seems tucked into bed. . Dad and I are still prowling around.
We were just out to check on a few things. . .all is well, battened down. . LOL It may be low 70*f / [21.1111 c. ] humidity is 88%. . .feels like walking into a sauna. .HOT.
Wind hasn't picked up any. . not noticeable. If we are hit it will be later afternoon, early evening and then it shuffles off to Nova Scotia and the Maritimes. . .
Very glad to be at home with family for a wonderful weekend.
G'Night ALL. . Sweet dreams. . .
peter and justin ;-)
