I've hauled in the deck furniture, tied down the dock swing.

[trof]

Just finished getting that dock rebuilt a month ago.
Don't have to worry about the boat any more.
Ivan got that, too.

Ivan hit on Sept. 16, 2004, a day that will live in infamy.
I finally got a landscaper to come out last week. We had 19 oaks blown over. Roots and all. The yard looks like it's undergone a three-hour mortar attack. Huge craters. He was going to get started this morning.
I called him last night.
"Never mind. We'll wait and see what's left after Dennis."

Brought in all the hanging doo-dads, wind chimes, sun catchers, etc.
The solar path lights are in a box in the garage.

Anything that was a potential missile; flowerpots, leftover lumber from the dock repair, shovels, rakes, hoes, birdbath, bird feeding stations are in the garden shed.

I put an ice cube in a baggy in the freezer. When we get back, if that cube ain't still cube-like, well...we'll know to dump the freezer contents.

Tomorrow morning (early) we get the shutters out and put them up.
Check the latest on Dennis. It's Cat. 3 now. Expected to go 4 tonight-tomorrow, after it passes Cuba and hits the warm, open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Last minute: trip the breaker on the well pump and turn off the main shut-off valve. Turn off the city water at the meter near the street.

Destination: Boston
No half-measures here. If you're gettin' out of Dodge, get way-the-hell out of Dodge. Haven't seen my daughter, son-in-law, and 3 year old Jack since their March visit. He's growing like a weed.

This shit is getting waaaayyyy old.
