Default Good Night, Irene

Good Night, Irene...


We're now into hurricane prep, as Irene is forecast to come directly to us
in Ft. Pierce, where we're still on the hard, doing boat work.

Lots of stuff to do to protect us from losing stuff due to wind, and to make
sure we don't blow - or float - over if it actually does land as a
hurricane.

Those interested in monitoring our prospects can look he

At this writing, it's pretty certain that we'll see tropical storm force
winds, with an outside chance (currently!) of a hurricane.

We have a house to go to in that event, unless it gets severe, in which case
they, too, would have to evacuate.

Otherwise, all is well aboard Flying Pig, with projects marching off the
page as we cross them off, with only a few new additions as we go (the norm
is to be peeling the onion - you discover new stuff at each layer!).

More later after whatever excitement there is, likely not before the weekend
is over...
