Just got done cleaning the gutters and pounding in loose house nails.....   Also   putting lawn items away.  Rita is at kitchen making soup

Need to get more beer..  Got some extra big bags of ice   Filled up the vehicles with fuel 

Lots of people in OC   getting there boats    Checking on condos    Big Halloween party at Seacrets tonight. 

Maryland in a state of emergency....  In 31 yrs that I have lived here   This is about the 6th or 7th Big weather event.  Evacuated 3 times Hurricane Gloria 1985   hurricane Hugo  1989   Hurricane Irene  2011

Wish I had bought a generator to run Rita refrigerated truck    but its full of fuel   We could use it to salvage food items if we were to be out of elec for days  rather than hours. 

Mo to do while there is time....gettin windier  but still no rain.     Warm still   about 65 degrees
