Living on the coast, we constantly keep our eyes on the Gulf. A tropical storm or hurricane can pop up in the summer months without much warning. Today, we are watching a disturbance out there and we have no idea where it might be headed.
It is imperative that we be prepared for a catastrophe. Food and drink will not be available for several days from stores, and so we must stock up on them ahead of time. I keep a stash in my closet for such occasions. See picture below. I suggest you do the same. Pick out the items that are bare life necessities to ensure that you can survive.
Note to self: Buy some tostado chips tomorrow.
This is a public service announcement.

If you like Moon Man, give your local Lakefront Fixed Gear a try. I think you'd be pleased.Also need some New Glarus, Capital, and Lakefront brews too.

Fixed gear is also very good. Moon Man is my go to "Lawn Mower" beer. I made some home brew from a Northern Brewer kit called, "Tongue Splitter" now that is some hops.

Those are some pretty rough seas. I'd be puking my guts out. :-&Reminds me of the movie "The Perfect Storm".Dripping Springs, Texas -
There where a lot of boats in the city after Katrina.Egg head in Louisiana.

Being here on the East coast of Fl near the Space center, I also like to keep pantrys stocked, I have a generator and several cans of gas, fill up your cars with gas and don't forget cash as the money machines have no power to work. You'll be safe.

I was talking to the BGE dealer in Wilmington, NC a few weeks ago. He told me every time there is a storm developing in the Atlantic that has any local potential, he has his best days of the year. Apparently everyone runs out and buys a BGE so they can have something to cook on after the storm. Pretty hard to blow a BGE away I bet (I hope).

Aaah, Cruzan Rum. Visited the factory on my trip to St. Croix last summer. Wife loves the stuff and we sure had our fair share.XL BGE - Small BGE - A few Komodo Kamado Serious Big Bad 42sFollow me on Instagram: @SSgt93

I didn't even know about the worlds largest bottle of ketschup being in Collinsville. I have been there several times as well (I'm not from IL, just stuck here for a bit).
The Cruzan Rum factory makes all the ingredients into a syrup then exports it to the US where it is officially made into alcohol. Pretty crazy. We enjoyed the tour.XL BGE - Small BGE - A few Komodo Kamado Serious Big Bad 42sFollow me on Instagram: @SSgt93 -
