Hi to you all! Good luck and i hope it doest hit you! My wife and I (sorry no pics, search my name if you must to see) are supposedly flying to the Dominican on Wednesday for a week. Does anyone know the legality of carrying a decent knife there check on? I know its ridiculous to think, but i would rather be prepared than not. I have packed a water purifier and first aid kit, but i am not used to being somewhere without a weapon. If we were to request a change on our trip it would be a $1k cost to change if they do not "recognize" the threat. Thanks in advance..... for those of you saying i should not go, I agree..... What about the posted maps at NOAA would make anyone think flying to a hurricane is a good move? Add to that, flying to a hurricane in a 3rd world country. Yeah....no. sbarker: Its damn near impossible for anyone at this point to not recognize the threat to the DR. I'd start getting that squared away. |

After the scare last year I was planning on putting up hurricane shutters. Never did. Hit Lowe's this morning picked up enough to cover the full size windows (didn't do the small bathroom style windows). Swung by Lowe's a few hours later and they were completely sold out.
Got the shutter brackets installed and ready for the panels later this week. I am really hoping Cuba eats this one. |

I will keep everyone posted of our travels. View Quote That said, I am used to having to be on standby or being called in for work. This is the first hurricane in probably 10-15 years I'll be riding out at home if it hits us, which is looking probable at this point. What really sucks is I have two leaks in my roof that were supposed to be fixed this week. Guess I need to call them tomorrow. The GF works in a nursing home so I'm sure she'll get called in. If this thing gets truly terrible and looks like I'll take a direct hit I'm getting the fuck out to at least mid-Georgia if not Tennessee or Kentucky with family or friends. I was just up there a week ago but that would be better than hiding in a tub while the house falls apart around me. |

Barker, hope you bought hurricane insurance for your trip, 'cause you're definitely going to want to defer or postpone that trip. DR (and frickin' Nassau) can be shady enough in locations in clear weather, doubt you'd want to be starring in your own episode of "Lost" trying to get out of the country after this one hits. I just don't see any relaxation in those plans.

Fun..fun..fun..
Hard rain for an hour yesterday. Ground is so saturated it just runs off and looks up. I May need a few extra pavers to raise the outdoor chest freezer up off the slab. Chainsaw...test ran and warned up for 30 minutes,oiled and gassed. Generator ,oil checked, new gas, cleaned out tank,and valve..test ran under load for 45-1 hour... tank has rust in it. Reason I cleaned it. Topped off the truck and cans. Will fill the rest today/tommorow. We loose power...we loose sewer here as all homes are on lift stations..wire directly to the meter. No back feeding that. Only thing I hate...since I have a wife and 11 year old girl... I had two buckets....yet they'd still piss in the wrong one. Or shit in the camp toilet..or try to flush paper when...they can't. All you get is " I'm sorry...it was 3am...I wasn't awake..." Lol Just pray it misses us.. |
