DD time to duck dodge and cover. We have high wind rain and hail.

Sitting out on the deck in anticipation! Daddy needs a new roof!

I got some New Balance straight from the factory. They brought 18,000 pair out to the ship for $7.00 a pair. When we got back to CONUS seen them for $82.00. But this was 1984 money.

Wind has gotten here now. And the tv just went black. Haven't lost power though.

My sister went on a business trip to China several years ago and got me a nice North Face jacket for cheap.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Man it's dark!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

That was the benefit of going to sea in the Navy. Once we made the turn and was headed home we emptied out a bomb storage magazine. This was to allow crew to bring on big ticket items. All was duty free.

It's heeeeere...

 

[GregD]

The rain is out of the county now.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Well, almost. I think this is just the leading edge.

Susan went inside. Some of the rain was blowing up underneath the deck roof and she didn't like it. Wimp!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Okay, now it's stormin' like it means it... maybe.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

This is respectable. Just enough rain mist hitting me to feel good. Heavy heavy rain. Wind, but it's out of the NNW so I'm sheltered.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Picking up in intensity now, so if I suddenly stop ty

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Ha! Just kidding! But holy cow is it blowing now!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

We have hail! Not much yet, and not big, but it's a glimmer of hope for my new roof!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Ho ri chit!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I think that was the worst of it. It's settling down now.

[DoggyDaddy]

Rain isn't done yet though! Holy cow...
