darkfour Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Following on from my post in the grump thread yesterday, plans have changed and I'm no longer planning to evacuate from NE Florida. Irma's predicted path i ys now further west. This is the first grin albeit non car related. There's still a mandatory evacuation starting tomorrow but they won't physically make you leave. I live on a barrier island and the police are expecting to close the bridges when the wind gets strong enough Spent the day putting up the hurricane shutters (not grin worthy)and clearing space in the garage for the convertible and getting my generator running. The carb was all clogged up with crap but soon cleaned it out. These last two are why this is grin. Feels a bit like a prison inside the house and the hurricane doesn't get here till Sunday night/Monday morning. johngarty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean36014 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Off on a roadtrip in the Bx 17rd to collect a bonnet and other bits. 62bhp of finest citroen diesel and a missing air intake pipe so it sounds like the exhaust is falling off, wish me luck!

John F Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's a mate's birthday today, we're all meeting up in the pub later on. Me & my housemate Hannah were wondering what to buy a middle-aged single bloke that looks a bit like Shrek. Answer: 50 pairs of socks and a ball gag.

M'coli Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Has anyone stood in the wind, holding the USA flag in one hand a M-16 in the other, and been filmed, then dubbed some heavy metal over the whole scene.
