Sustained at 25mph gusts to 40mph. Just like March allover again :realcrazy:
Briefly saw a headline about some serious winds in New England, much damage.

Yeah we are getting the backlash from it here. Sustained still at 30 mph with gusts to 50 mph.

They are getting pounded up in New England with Cat 2 hurricane winds.

Sounds like you need a backup plan.

Plan B, spare water supply in the food grade buckets. Goes a long ways when things go down.

Forgot to mention, bridge is nearing the finishing stage.
Prepping for blacktop. The approaches are near ready.
I went to town 3 times today. Stuck at traffic light for a full cycle every time. 30 minutes sitting doing nothing. Its been 3 years.

My back up is the hot water heater (60 gals), two 5 gal camping water containers filled, 4 gals of frozen jugs of water in the freezer plus a 24 pack of 16 oz water bottles. Not to mention the 3 filled toilet tanks for flushing. 77 gals for drinking, 6 gals for flushing.

Oh yeah, and 120 beers for drinking! That helps with the flushing part! :D
 
I love road trips in the south end of Colorado because a lot of spots that are lesser known tourist spots.

Seems like when you go north and around Denver you see a of out of state plates and a lot of times those out of state plates are biggest *** klowns on the road. I don't know what it is with Illinois plates and them tail gating. Texas plates are the ones locals flip off and you hope you see them headed south sooner than later. California plates are the ones you see on the side of the road when it gets icy.

Just to stereotype and be mean LOL

I got Texas plates and I'm not a complete jackass!
 
I had a friend whose family had a cabin in the San Juan Mt's about 20 miles out of Pagossa Springs I did some good fishing up there
 
First round of slides done and sent. Waiting on the inevitable next round of questions and requests to make changes,

In the meantime, the decorations are going up fast like a Halloween bomb exploded in the house...

Exactly. I’ve been involved in too many SAR missions post weather events to not have a plan b. I have a 3 day storm kit with food, clothing and water for 4 people in a big storage tote. 40 bucks total. And a back up generator that’s large enough to run my furnace.

Here, we have two major threats, tornadoes and blizzards. The kit works for both. Course, it’d have to survive the tornado but being it’s in the crawl space, I figure barring a direct hit, it’ll be fine.

I’m not talking full doomsday with 5 years of supplies type thing but enough to at least be okay until help comes. 2-3 days

We do not see a lot of out of s Tate plates here. I am more pi**** at the locals here. No blinkers, Toyota pirrus owners thinks they own the road, white Tacoma trucks with a young fellow with a beard is just plain nasty in traffic, and young women in white small cars with a baby in the car are the worst tailgaters I have come across. A friend of me in Wisconsin says it is because of aggressive marketing of the cars towards people who have those tendencies anyway. People here are pi**** at me because I like to stop at the stop signs in the intersections. And people in California is not very fond of that.

Stop for a 3 count?
Up here its any fancy or high end car, speeding, passing when unsafe and running stop signs.
What i really dislike is when people come flying up to and intersection, appears like they arent going to stop.
Big tourist area here, seems the drivers are getting worse every year.

Yep, I don't have buckets, but we do have water on hand.

Something like that.... I had a case of water in the freezer downstairs, but we are using those. Need to replenish that.

And I have a woodstove that will heat the whole house.
