Watching GA Tech give Florida State all they want and then some.

Never betting against a double digit dog again. Until the next time I do. 

Couple of interesting games today for sure.

Had to open another bag just this morning.  I didn't even bother with EweTube, just used a scissor.  I'm done with trying.  phukquit.

Down to my last gallon ziplock.  Time to make some more.  Working to forget upcoming September bills: taxes, auto, home, umbrella, flood insurance renewals, College tuition, 500 gallons of propane, (those are just extra on top of bills to live) I’m sure there are others but September sucks.

So from an ignorant person in TX, someone in AZ needs flood insurance?    Near a gully or creek or X that floods during those one-off downpours?    

All the other items - yep and yep - get them.

We have flood plains, 50, 100, 500 year floodplains.  FEMA requires flood insurance if any part of your housing structure is near these flood plains.  My house costs $500/year for flood insurance.  Before shopping is was $1200/year.

I only know of one area were floods have damaged structures and they are literally in an enormous wash that flows a few times a year.  They didn’t flood so much as the houses fell into the wash when the walls eroded away.

Basically it is a way for FEMA to subsidize flood insurance elsewhere in the country.  If my house flooded there would be approximately 150,000 other homes under water.

Dang man, sorry to hear that.   At least you got it down to $500 for something You will hopefully never need.

Saw some footage of the flooding at Havasupai Falls. That’s pretty crazy.

Playing with the boy in the back yard.  He’s acting weird, so he either has to poop or the scent of deer is in the air.

The flash floods we get are no joke.  They strike fast and then pass quickly (less than 1hr, except for really large storms in the mountains).

Those areas are very well defined and known.  I usually head out after the bigs ones to the flood areas and rescue a few cars each time.

Ozzie_Isaac

Dang.  Didn’t even slow down at 1200miles.  Still burning while passing LEO.

Same here, not as bad as the ones down there, but bad enough. There are always people that think the little rain we get is nothing, but don’t come back from their hike. 

We live about as far west as you can (for now), right up against the mountains. Luckily there is very large retention basin that protects our neighborhood.

Kind of a cool spot. A family friend bought an abandoned quarry, had it filled with water and equipped with a circulation system, and built a cottage on it decades back. Last time I was here was at least 15 years ago. Small island in the middle. You can jump from the rocks on the right, but only if you’re brave. 

lousubcap

@GrateEggspectations- I would like a friend like you have surrounded your family with.  
Surely the brave jump has to be horizontal distance as even in meters that's not that high.  

lkapigian

Tuna Collar 



beef rib trimmings ( I get from processor , scraps from squaring up plate ribs for retail )

Bacon Wrapped Pickles ( better than expected)



thanks for looking 

lousubcap

@lkapigian - Yes sir.  Some group is gonna be eating extremely well.  Anything wrapped in bacon is always a winner as you well know.  

Canugghead

@lkapigian Love the beef rib trimmings, beat my free salmon heads from the sushi place.

The space is bigger than it appears, but I have no doubt that a man of your nautical endeavours would make short work of it - whether in or out of LEO.

@Canugghead.I think if memory serves me it was a top round of beef. It was a spur of the moment buy at our local Harris Teeter supermarket

Awesome. How are you hanging them though ... seems like through the middle, and flopped in half?  You should hang from one end, and meat shouldn't touch meat ... you want as much air flow around all the meat.

Let us know how they turn out.

johnmitchell

@Mark_B_Good. No these are hanging from one end.I can see why you would think they are flopped over now that I look at the pic again😂. Just shorties

@ikapigian beef plate ribs are my favorite.  Those trimmings are freakin amazing.  Those are karmas gift for all the amazing things you do for folks.

@ikapigian when you say the bacon wrapped pickles were better than expected, did you mean they were good?
