DD, you are always good for a laugh. Morning everyone. The view out my back door is stunning this morning and my camera battery is dead. Go figure. Nothing like a mountain morning. Stay safe coasties.
Morning O.F.C. !-- Up early to check the weather !-- The hurricane is gonna hit me !-- Glad I got seed !-- I gotta look at the grow and just take what I can !-- Could lose power for weeks if the place survives !-- We could get a 8 ft storm surge and I'm 4 ft above sea level !-- I think I be getting the Stoner Ranch soon !-- Looks like we done at the beach !-- I guess I end up with an empty lot and an insurance check !-- Me and the dogs got to find a way da hell up outta here !-- I don't which way I'm going but I check in after the storm !-- I be O.K. !-- I'm hard to kill !-- Wouldn't U know it I spent 2 month setting up my rotation and now that it's up and running a hurricane wipes it out !-- Dam !
I got a empty feeling in the pit of my stomach !-- I'm in my 60s and starting over again ? -- Pretty sue the place is toast and my main objective be staying alive !-- I deal with starting over when I have to !-- Even in Austin it not gonna be that safe either !-- I guess I harvest what I can ?- Dam !
Looking around the place !-- 2 people and 4 little dogs and what else we can stuff into a small car is all we can keep !-- When the smoke clears I'm land on my feet and set me up a real grow !-- I can grow and I got good genetics !-- We started over before I'm just getting too old for this sheet !--
My brand new scoot ? -- Gotta leave it !-- Dam !--Dam !--Dam !-- Just keep my old a** alive and deal with what comes next later !-- All I can be sure of is there will be a grow !-- Wish me luck O.F.C. !-- The only treasure I can save lies between my ears !--
Thanks Rose !-- Right now it will hit late Friday night !-- D.D. pick me and the dogs up in the morning !-- The house won't flood from rain but they say 5-8 ft. Storm surge !-- I'm 4 ft above sea level !-- I'm pushing it east hard as I can !-- 100 miles will decide if the house still stands or not !-- It don't move this place is toast !-- We go to Austin it's gonna park near there and make big rain !-- They have a flash flood problem there !-- We survive everything else can be replaced !-- Like I said before only treasure I got lies between my ears !-- Can't take that !-- Good think I bred those seed !-- Where ever we end up we gonna be growing some danky-dank !
We hard to kill Rose !--
D.D. looking for me a truck or U haul! -- I would like to save a few things like my brand new scooter !-- Maybe the kayaks ? -- I can pack them full of stuff too !--
Can't do that Rose !-- D.D. found me a 9 ft van to pick up at noon tommorrow! -- I'll stuff what I can in and run !-- I probably take the crop for next Wednesday but I can't haul any live plants out !-- U live on the coast U can get wiped out any given year !-- We survived Katrina !-- We got this but yes I probably loose the grow !
Come on Harvey slide Yo happy a** on over some !-- What's a hundred miles between demons ? -- Move dam it !-- No really !-- Just give me that 100 miles !
So I got a cat 3 hurricane coming and it's gonna be nipping at my heels on the way outta town !-- There's a good chance we could have to face it on the road !-- This be one them real world problems where the house don't matter !-- The grow don't matter !-- Only thing that matters is we survive !-- We did Katrina so we not virgins so I'd say we got a fighting chance !-- Maybe ? - This what looking life or death in the face feels like !-- Real as it gets !--
I wish you the best there Keef, but don't take no chances. Git outa there while ya can! Maybe keep on rollin into Nevada or Cali and be in a pot legal state...
I remember being on a sailboat on the Chesapeake during a hurricane. No place to run, just ride it out and hope for the best. Not much fun, it makes me very anxious even now.
