COLD DARK ROOM

[ZEROPILOT]

it's 2140 here. asked jade to pose for a pic for you View attachment 188839


she's just fixing dinner for us now the animals have been fed.

do you have any plans to pass the time if power goes, or just fire up the generators and carry on as usual?

Business as usual.
Today is actually Kellys birthday.
We have a routine planned for storms.
I'll be going in to work Saturday morning for school generator maintenance.

i truly hope so perhaps i could try convince my work to send me to Stewart, to visit Autogeek and class it as a 'business trip'

Stuart is not very far away.
Closer to the hurricane, actually.

Good evening all. 22:16 here in the UK and I'm finally home.

Meeting at 5pm, meeting at 6pm then off to a pub with the trust chairman to discuss some things that needed to be done out of earshot of others!

Long day and I'm now trying to wind down. JoesDad has gone out for a curry with some friends in London, so he won't be home until midnight probably.

I hope things are going OK for you Ed

Thanks.
Much better than expected. I'd thank GOD. But that would be cruel to anyone that gets hit worse.

This size storm rips roofs and windows and doors off of cement block houses like mine.
It's very serious.
I should only get light roof shingle damage.
Maybe some fence or porch issues.
The power hasn't even gone out yet. I'm pretty sure it will at some point.

 

[johnandjade]

No. She needs at least 93 octane.
I bought 89.

boo. the toyota?

My husband and I both have asthma. We are at "high risk" for developing pneumonia if we get the flu, so we ALWAYS get our shots!!!

I have asthma too but it's only really bad when there's really cold air. I am always offered the jab but I haven't got around to it yet - worried I'll be ill after the jab, but my friend has told me that they don't actually use live flu virus or whatever it is these days so the risk of even having a mild dose of flu from the jab has been eradicated, so I may have it this year.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

boo. the toyota?

The Toyotas. The generator. The lawn mower and Kellys bike take 89 octane gas.
All vehicles are full, plus I have 8 five gallon cans full as well since after a hurricane, you can not find gasoline.

happy birthday mrs ed!!!!! sorry you have to endure the hurricane for it ... make the most of it and light up some candles

here's hoping for some discount stock due to flooding

I'd stopped getting the shot years ago because it gave my the flu. (I think)
I wonder if the U.S. version is the same now?

 

[Lyn W]

Not much happening yet.
All roads closed at 4 pm.
The worst will arrive at 7-9 pm.
I'm getting my generator ready.
Might not need it this time.

Thinking of you Ed, they showed the expected path on the news and the governor telling people to evacuate, evacuate, evacuate!
Really hope it's not too bad for you.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Battery dying on phone.
I'll report back later. I need to charge the phone while I can.

Thanks, Lyn.
This one will not hit our area head on.
At least it doesn't seem that way.

Take care Ed and Happy birthday to Kelly.

I should sleep like a baby.
Albeit without power or A/C and with wind and debris hitting the window shutters all night.
We just got whacked by a "For sale" sign. I don't know where it came from. But it reminded me to bring in my ATD home security signs before they fly off.

Thats interesting ! And not a bad idea. I think the uvb was the reason for max though. Hes eating more and coming out every morning since I've switched it. Im sure its the light because Its cold today and he ate alot
Do you not brumate Elsa because shes small? Or you prefer her be "awake" through winter?

Oh, Elsa is plenty big: 7.5 inches long and about 7 years old. I don't brumate her for 3 reasons: 1) i don't know how,
2) I'm kind of afraid to because I know things can go wrong even in the best situations, so I honestly haven't tried to learn how to brumate her, and 3) I'd miss her.

 

[johnandjade]

took a while to collect, i need 2x sets and i am almost there!

our new plastic churchill fivers (one sold for around £4000 i think) however it was an AA serial number. this is AJ :/. the pound coin has the sheild, the lower coins form the sheild.

when jade got fido and i learned we could 'have him' all year i refused to, selfishly because i didn't want a pet rock :/ i wouldn't change it now as i am also far too afraid of the risk
