The Ark

Quoting theshepherd:


Thanks :)

I'd lock up and drive out from under it, but there's nowhere to go...Shep doesn't "do" north. :)

You can drive all the way into the mountains of Tenn on I75 and still be in the "South".

Running for your life is not a "retreat".
Its just a temporary "relocation". :)

The enemy has won the toss and elected to receive.

Well, ok then, here's your sign!


heh heh heh

Sugar Bear needs coffee, back later. :)

Ha ha ha Shep,

did you put rum in your coffee this morn, because if my eyes didn't decieve me I saw you post on the main. :)

Don't worry have been guilty of that myself. Storms make people go crazy for sure.

Tell SB to get her own dang cup, and tell her to fetch you one while she's at it!:)

Naw, that one don't work for me, either! :)

Hey Rob, Snake,

Looks like some more rain lines for you today Rob, gee we might even get some today ourselves

Hi ya Ylee,

LOL :))

If it's north of Valdosta, it's too far north :)

Good Morning!

Well, maybe it's not so good, for those wot are getting rained on.
Thems some nasty floodwaters and agitated seas.

It's still June, tight ??

In the meantime, it feels like April down here this morning.
But that looks to be a temporary thing, as there is some weather off to the North and East which might give us showers.

Stay safe and dry, Hood and Shaph.
This too shall pass. Although we can't tell you what's coming next.........

Just some info for the "know nots".

None of the rivers are in flood.
I-75 and I-10 have and will close in low lying areas until the witch moves outta here.
Our ground water is now surface water...and it's shedding.

Hi Guys and Gals, just checking in again!

Had the grandkids this morning but they have now gone home.

I see Debby is still spinning in the GOM just below the Big Bend Area.

Is that witch ever going to go NE and get the heck out of town?

Want to hear a good one.

The Suwanee River rose 22' in 24 hrs.

I've been here 62 years. This takes the cake.

Like the old farmer said when his mule died, "Damn, he never done that before".

:)

"That's impressive Shep.
Hope it's not causing too much trouble for too many folks."

Hard to say.
These rivers flood almost every year and the river rats that live there expect it. I've helped my nephew move stuff upstairs more than once. The problem is the rate of rise for sure. Some who left for work this AM may have a surprise getting back home after work. Not that their house is flooded , but the road to them may be.

Just 40 more miles to the east Miss Debby and I won't talk ugly about you anymore....sweetheart :)


Lost power here since last post. Trouble way up the line, should be back on in a few...hours. That's good though, that it's way up the line, I would hate to carry the repairman across the spillway on my back to replace a fuse on the pole outback. :))


So....why is won't not spelled willn't?

Yeah, time to light some candles, pour some rum and read a book. :)

Was watching Jaxs news and yowza you are nearly under water. The rainfall map is showing over 20inches is that right? hang in there mate

So....why is won't not spelled willn't?

well the long and the short of it is there are too many letters in willn't

No worries Rob, glad you got a laugh out of that. :)

Shep has got a big red blob over him like apalachicola did last night, and a flash flood box, dang I hope the poor bugger doesn't float away, but all jokes aside looks serious since they are flooded already. Hope his power comes back on so he can give us an update

You guys are flooding and we are burning up.

At 1645 hours temp in Macon hit 97.2

Forecast for today called for 91

So whatever the forecast calls for I add 6.2 from now on.

Friday is supposed to be 104. Plus 6.2.

What is the temp in Canada this time of year?

Hood is awaiting the next band?
You got a concert going on there or what?
:):))

Hate to see all that flooding affecting peoples homes and lives and stuff.

Supper to cook, BBL ?????

59 here last night RTL. Shep. Best wishes. Rob you are right and that is why most of us are gone. But here is oK +

It was SugarBears turn to cook dinner tonight so she said she was going to expand my horizons.

That's our little code for she is going to cook something strange,
and I may want to have a peanut butter and jam sandwich!

So, tonight I had my very first taste of something called "Couscous".
It is a Moroccan Style Pasta made from Unenriched Durum Semolina Wheat.

It is not really pasta as I know pasta.
It is not rice, it is not oatmeal, it is not like anything I have ever eaten,
except maybe grits.

It looks like tiny little yellow ball bearings.
You cook it just like grits too in boiling water.
There is even a quick version that cooks in 5 minutes.

The meal was called "Warm Chicken Couscous Salad".
Yes, I said salad. It had grilled chicken in little pieces,
fresh tomatoes sliced in little pieces, green onions sliced in little pieces,
and of course, the little yellow Moroccan Grits!

It is served with Creamy Caesar salad dressing.
I've never tried salad dressing on my grits before,
but I must say, it was quite tasty! :)

I can finally see daylight about 5 miles to the west. Should clear up in an hour...or so.

Power boys have been working on situation for an hour. Still not back on. They're pretty resourceful, they'll figure it out.

Snakers I'm glad you enjoyed your couscous.
The only time I've ever had it, it really suckedsucked.
Kudos to SB for a non-sucksuck couscous :))

37% battery left on laptop...BBL

Yes, I could blog on the Droid, may result to that :)

Stay safe Shep, glad to see you are coming out of it finally!

Bah !
You guys are being treated to all sorts of Scrumptious Edibles tonight, eh ?

Well, here we had leftovers.....

But they were Nutritious, Filling, and Whatnot. (actually, they were great!)
:):))

Good to see that Debbs is finally moving on.
We had sporadic showers all day, and a gloomy sunset.
Lady Pott said it was 'miasmic'.
I'll have to remember to use that word some time....

Well, waddayaknow....

A yellow circle out in the Atl approaching 40W.

I better get some sleep before it gets here.....

Mañana, Banana.
