COLD DARK ROOM

[Ray--Opo]

Saw the hurricane heading your way on our news, I hope it isn't too bad for you but still sounds terrifying with those high winds. Hope you and all Florida members stay safe!

Thanks Lyn, looks like the outer edge of the hurricane will be what we get here. We are already getting a light rain all day today. No wind at all but I am expecting 40 mhp winds with gusts in the 60. Opo was out in the rain all day. He went in his box about 2:20pm. Probably won't see him until the hurricane passes.

I was on the phone with Kerry last night, one of her brothers is in Ft Meyers and has few resources to leave. She was going to call him back after I told her he needed to leave after seeing the maps.

I told her to ask if his truck ran and how much gas was in it cause I know he likely is cash poor. She didn't call me back so she must have succeeded in getting him to leave, or at least say he was going to leave.

You guys be careful down there. I'm no drama queen and would normally be the guy out there with a SURF BOARD but that storm looks to be a monster.....there's no heroism being stupid, when you have the chance to be smart!

 

[Ray--Opo]

Had rain all night and this morning. Right now no rain or wind. Probably won't see any strong winds until tomorrow midday. Should be 40 to 60mph.
My brother and his wife came over this morning and closed our shutters for us. So all we need to do is close the shutters for the front door and the back french doors. Both done from inside the house. By opening the shutters it took away the homes of the frogs that were living there.
Anyone living in the path of the hurricane.
We will be praying for you and please stay safe.

Yes all of you stay safe there in Florida. It looks like a big bad storm and just passing by can wreck havoc. My prayers are going up for all of you. 🙏

I'm so wondering also what kind of frogs?😊 I figure they're just hanging around anyway 😂 was it the little ones? adorable 🥰 or one of the bigger ones? They are adorable too unless you have one stalking you 😜 that happened to me several times in Florida...😁

They are like a tree frog maybe 2 to 3 inches long. One thing I noticed is they're like a chameleon and change color with their surroundings. I will try to get a picture.

Thank you so much. I know I'm ridiculous but I just love frogs. I especially like the little tree frogs. They are so cute.😊

In between tree pruning & hurricane watching, I also got some kayaking in this morning.

I love that picture. Wow.😊

After Joe's dental appointment (which can be a bit crazy), all of us are laying around just relaxing.😁

 

[Ray--Opo]

We made it! Glad the eye of the hurricane fizzled out. Part of it would have went right over us. We lost power for a hr about 10pm last night. Then lost our phones till now. Have no internet and lost power again for about a hr about 1pm this afternoon. Slept in my easy chair last night. So I could keep it eye on Opo in his box on the porch. He actually came out about 10am. Went outside for about 30 minutes. Now he is back in his box.

I'm so glad to see you Rose, and Opo got through the storm. That's one prayer answered. Hopefully I'll see more.🌈 Last night I had to get some sleep for Joe's dental appointment but woke up anyway around 2 😔 I knew I would. If I have to sleep I can't 😁 Dilly even started singing around 3 it was hilarious. It sounded like he was talking about his woes. Since I couldn't sleep anyway I just layed there and prayed for Florida around 4 I got an hours sleep. Woke up and got er done 👍😊

So glad you're ok. I've witnessed the wind but never seen so much water down pour with it. Wow!!

I was kinds lookin forward to selfie-pics of Ray swimming but I'm very happy you guys didn't get any damage or flooding! LOL

Bunybutt porn.....that's bad Ms Cathie!

Yeah, the pics and stories coming out of Fla are pretty rough. Kerry's brother moved his car to a parking garage thank God, his neighbor lost 3 cars. The home was elevated so it's ok but a lot of the homes where he lives are heavily damaged or gone.

Geez Z, how many colors(sets of covers) do you go through before you get to PURPLE? (if you aren't a Ravens fan)
That's a lot of window covers! I like the track system....KISS

So pleased all is well with you and your part of Florida Ray. Do you know how things are in Ed's area?
We're getting the tail end of 'Ian' here this afternoon with high winds and heavy rain just starting. Not a day to be out and about but the rain is welcome.
My niece was supposed to be in Florida working this week and her colleagues over there say that when she's expected they always get big storms.
Her trip was postponed at the last minute because of an admin problem so she missed it all this time.

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning/afternoon all and happy Friday.
Hope those of you anywhere near the hurricane are all OK. The rain and winds have made it across the pond in the jet stream and just started here, but it should all be over by this evening.
Lola hasn't been too lively today so I think he knows the weather isn't too good and is staying put.
I'd better get on with my chores so I'll se you later.
TTFN

I'm holding out hope that I can get home today to get my grass seed down before the rains begin for the next couple of days!

Some of that stuff Razberri does with that snozola of a tail just cracks me up 🤣 she only 5 1/2lbs. for heavens sake. I think her tail is most of it.
