  1. All still quiet as expected. Should stay like this until Tuesday night Wednesday morning
  2. My Naples house is about 5 miles as the crow flies from the beach and we should have no issue with storm surge, stayed dry during Ian which was more than 12 ft in some areas St Pete condo, is in a poured concrete building on the 2nd floor with impact windows, no worries there either. But there are no guarantees at either place. During Helene the surge came over the sea wall and about 6-8 inches from the shrubs in the pic below (you can actually see a little debris on the left), probably needed another 12-18 inches of water before ground floor would have taken water. We are riding this one out in Naples, have a propane generator, shuttles and picking up a fresh keg of beer for the kegerator on my way home from work today.
  3. At work now in Naples, house is far enough inland that storm surge won't be an issue. Condo in St Pete is on 2nd floor overlooking Boca Ciega Bay, first floor was good during Helene so not expecting any water issues from Milton. Set a ring camera up over the bay with battery backup so will try to post updates: 8:45 Monday nice and calm
  4. Met him in Key West just after the COVID lockdown, he was so out of his mind dude could barely walk most of the time. /csb
  5. Canadian McDonald's have these:
  6. Jared is such a moron. he is focused on getting Cam out but Corey sticking around is probably worse for his game, he is going to continue to call him on his lies and Cirie will have to come to is rescue and possibly expose her game more.
  7. I think it is pretty impressive that someone taught a dog to take pictures.
  8. My dad does this too. He has visit churches in England to look through their records, had the mormons send genealogy records (apparently they have the best library for this stuff), The spend the summers up north and the winters in the south and he brings 2-3 bankers boxes of his genealogy stuff back and forth every year. The funny thing about it is he now has gone back as far as he can go as he has got to where the records just list our family as Crofters (english farmers) with out much details. He says he plans to write a book summarizing the History of the Ogilthorpe Family.
  9. Saw Stick last weekend in St Pete with Pepper and the Elovators. Always a great show, will be seeing them at Closer to the Sun in Mexico in December as well.
  10. No gnews is good gnews for Gary gun!
  11. Haven't been to this thread in a while but it is still one of the best on Surly. Monroe just got a haircut: We were up in the Great White North for Christmas, she wasn't a huge fan of here sweater.
  12. Don't forget Sweet Lou Dunbar
  13. Not email but Teams or any instant messaging, just sending "Hello". If you have a fucking question ask it, don't say hello and wait for me to respond. If you can wait send me an email.
  14. Things are getting back to normal in SW Florida. Pine Island has power in some places now. The death toll is being ridiculously understated. I have heard from a few people that the second hockey rink at Hertz arena is being used as a morgue as the hospitals can't process all the bodies. Another person has told me they were still recovering bodies in the mangrove earlier this week. Neither are confirmed but to think only 52 people died in Lee county is crazy.
