Batten Down the hatches Mike

[Mojo]

It appears we may have another storm coming our way. The models put it into the gulf with a right turn just like Debby. There is also a lot of warm water in its path.

Not good for you and not good for me. :(

Actually hurricanes are great for the marine canvas business.  So many people just leave their canvas on board and it gets shredded.  But putting up shutters in this heat is a PITA.

I hope Russia gets all their subs out of the Gulf before it hits.

I would love to retire on Sanibel Island, but only if I was rich enough to go visit Europe or China and not have to worry about my house was still there when I got home.

Hope it stays away from you guys and my place in sarasota too !!!!

Hope it stays away from both you guys!  It just occurred to me that our family's little house in Crystal Beach is probably right in there as well (why was I thinking Tampa was Orlando?  DUH!  I'm not even blonde... it must be rubbing off from my baby sister).  These hurricanes make our winter blizzards seem like nothing!

Stay safe!

I'm takin my son on his first hog hunt down there in little over a month. I hope these storms don't tear too much up. In regard to Gene's comment in te Russian subs in the gulf; I've always wanted to go bow fishing. I just may have to put a rig on mine and go after some ruskies!

Looks like you have a crappy weekend ahead, Mike.  Enjoy the aftermath!  Might not be enough to really do canvas damage, but some covers on the edge will be done for when the wind picks up.  Our weekend might not be exactly sunny either, but Saturday is supposed to be nice at least.

I hate all fhe hype they have been giving on it. When i moved here shortly after i had the
Stroke and  i was set back on things inhad to do. One was buying shutters. They almost had me buyi g plywood yesterday.   Coulle housed in the neighborhood had a tree guy out for a hurricane trim.
Keep oving farther into fhe gulf snd jim. Antore seems ulset the storm isnt firing up.
I hope it dozent impact us ive cot to much to so to be disrupted.
