  1. If you're on of a antenna get a good signal amplifier. You could also be losing signal with bad coax or fittings
  2. That sort of shot happens when little Lord fauntelroy and mat coral get all the reps preseaon.
  3. If I see Bryce in a glove I'll know the transformation is complete.
  4. Don't know if you remember Bonnie in 1998- damn thing came in and stayed pretty much stationary for several hours. Where I was, up in Middle Sound, we were in and out of the eye wall and eye all night long as the storm wobbled around. That was a long night.
  5. Seems there was another Panthers HC in the not too distant past that was known for slow/no starts. coincidence ?
  6. Looks good. Not to be nosey but I am going to put a new roof on my place in the next year and wonder how much it cost to upgrade your porch roof from standard shingles to the metal? Would like to do something similar over my front port.
  7. You got that right . surrounding areas to myself are below normal rainfall now, unfortunately my little piece is on our second year of abnormally low rainfall and in a drought by my measure - about 25 inches less than normal over the past 24 months. I have a small farm pond I have been running well water into several times a day just to try to keep the wildlife going. I replaced some deck boards just a few weeks ago - treated lumber , syp, specifically, is such crap compared to even 20- years ago. Just plain crap. It curls, twists and warps like a mf once the sun hits it. Rots in random spots for no apparent reason in just a few seasons and is full of knots. And that is the good stuff you pick though at the lumber store to find. I still have to replace the treads on my front entrance steps but am thinking of going with one of the composite products at this point. And not going to do it till cooler fall weather. I spent the majority of today working in the garden getting ready for fall crops. Holy crap it was hot and humid and the sun this summer has seemed to be particularly brutal.
  8. I went 10 days after Fran. The whole street cheered when we saw the Florida Power and Light trucks heading our way. They had restored power to everyone and were about ready to leave and after I reinstalled the old fuse breaker into the box at my place, I still had not power. I flagged down a couple of the FPL guys just as they were getting ready to leave - turns out my house was the last house on one of the transformers and there was a break in the line that wasn't visible from the ground that they hadn't seen. Was so nice to take a shower again without moving the generator to the pump house and cranking it up.
  9. I lived a stones throw from Pages Creek and could hear the ocean waves from the Atlantic on any quiet evening. My wife and I moved our dogs and the neighbor's dog ( they were elderly and evacuated to their daughter's place in Goldsboro ) and ourselves to my shop which I had built myself and made tough enough to withstand a 1 or 2 cat. Our home was a tiny crackerbox built in 1933 and not heavy construction at all. Seemed for forever for the storm to come in and it literally rained nonstop for several hours. When the eye came over we took the dogs out in mid shin deep water to use the bathroom and then got back inside. We were listening to WECT on the radio and I can remember these poor girls calling into wect and talking to the meterologist George elliot over the air saying how bad it was getting and George saying something to the effect of " its all right girls the back side of this storm will be easy. " About that time we started geting hammered sticks pinecones and limbs bludgeoning my shop and hearing big trees coming down some of which you could feel through the shop floor as they hit the ground. Turns out old George Elliot was wrong on that one. The one that I remember with some humor was the Bertha in 1996. As the eye passed over, me and a couple neighbors went out into the road with chainsaws to clear the road of a downed tree for emergency vehicles if need be. From down the road came a woman driving like a nut and she had to stop as she got to us. We aked her where she was going and she said " to the store to get diapers". We warned her that we were in the eye and the backside would be on us soon but she headed on down the road. I don't know if she made it back home or not that day because it was only a few minutes before we started getting the eyewall and back of the storm.
  10. Yeah the o line has sucked. That is my main concern. You look at the amount of time BY has actually played and the number of sacks and hits he has taken already- it really doesn't look good for the guy to make it through the first half of the season let alone a whole season especially in light of all the talk pre and post draft about how his small stature would make him more susceptible to injury.
  11. Looks like it might be getting active in the Atlantic and Caribbean. For those of you near the coast its probably time to get ready.
  12. So the coaches called plays to see how well bryce can take sacks from multiple directions. Ok got it. Superbowl !
  13. got to admit the op had me at the " dildo " reference. And I agree with his sentiments. If after a few games during regular season this team doesn't make some huge strides I will not be wasting my precious time watching or supporting them.
  14. getting ready to huff some hairspray ?
  15. Reich playing 4d chess and setting up a smokescreen
  16. yeah I thought it after the first game
