the river is frozen

double digits below normal temperatures for seemingly weeks on end has caused the potomac river to freeze...the boats in it are stuck for now...that is a shame because fishing season ends friday night at new years.

marine warnings

marine warnings abound on the potomac river and chesapeake bay in the wake of a month's worth of rain fall...i think its all clear tomorrow.

here comes earl!

batten down the hatches: hear comes earl. tonight i need to make a run to virginia to secure the premises for when hurricane earl hits friday...with at least a three foot storm surge predicted, i need to move the boat, the sea kayaks, the lawn mower and relocate the generator. five years ago, tropical depression ernesto left millions of dollars worth of damage in the neighborhood, so im not taking any chances this time.

looking forward

now that the storms have blown through,

we have had two warm days.

i am hoping this weekend will be the same.
