Haven't been on lately, been real busy rushing to get all our yards mowed. Started Wednesday finished today cut a total of 70 acres.

I've had 2 of my tractors and my Bobcat building Berms around homes and business's, working round the clock. Finished all the places we had.

I'm smiling, I'm gonna be like the plastic surgeons who put implants in women and then everyone found out they are bad for their health and had them removed and replace with the new stuff.

Pay me to put them, pay me to take them out!! MONEY MONEY!!!:sun::beer:

We're all buttoned up and have things tied down. Boats out of the water and in garages. Had the big propane tank filled so the whole home generator (15K) shouldn't run out.

Able to talk Mom and Dad to go to Raleigh and stay with my daughter. Our daughter-in-law and grandson coming over here to stay with us.
So were committed to stay.

P/s Fema called and told us to leave and not to call 911 after 3pm tomorrow because they wouldn't be able to respond to us. Don't understand that but then WHO UNDERSTANDS GOVT????

Mr. Krinkle was hoping for a quiet weekend with some glow sticks and the main muff but doesn't look like that's going to happen.

Man I don't want to be the one to tell him!! :bat::fight:

stay safe in upper NC tonight and tomorrow. Maybe when this is all said and done we can get together and head out in the Albemarle Sound in the V

stay safe Lee, if you need anything, I'm a call away, and I've got friends that are even closer

Where's RWilson??...:head:...anybody heard from Rob in all this?...hope him and his crew are dug in good or got the hell outta Dodge!!..:sand:

i always use the v for a 60 gallon storage tank. have 2 gensets, one for the house lights and one for the window units in bed rooms. gas stove and gas hotwater, so we're in pretty good shape, hadn't needed it it a couple of years, but got it ready.

garage, couple of years ago we had a state rep get on tv and announce if you haven't left by noon, write your name on a piece of paper and put it in your pocket so they could id the body. i'd rather die in my living room than stuck in a car on I-10.
you guys stay safe.

I'm with you on that P Daddy.

There was a wreck today on the bridge from the outer banks to currituck a family of 4, killed the driver and 1 girl was airlifted to the hospital. They were on their way home due to the mandatory evacuation, if they had stayed 1 would be alive and the other not fighting for her life.

I'm some what ready

Boarded a couple houses ... prepped my own ,, boats in the driveway ...

I dont know what to expect.

from what I am watching on The Weather Channel, expect the the worst nor'easter and then some more.

Good luck Ken and lee, to al of us

Nah....we're in good shape out where I live...I'm 22 miles west of the city....no threat obviously of storm surge and in very hilly terrain so no threat of flooding.....only concern is a couple of BIG *** oak trees on our neighbors property that would waffle my house or boat or garage depending on where it came down if it ever did.... they are healthy as horses so I think its a long shot and not much you can do about that if its gonna happen....gonna all sleep in the basement tomorrow night (we finish our basements up here so its just another floor of the house) just in case....It is going to be interesting to say the least I think....i agree that its going to be like a prolonged nor'easter but I think the fact that there's leaves on the trees as opposd to winter storms is going to make it a whole different experience.....

Got one of our gas welders with electrical outlets for in case the power goes out so we should be pretty cozy.
