Waiting on Irene

Hurricane/Tropical Storm Diary - Day One

Irene should be hitting tomorow. It's time to batten down the hatches. The loose items in the yard need to be picked up. Lawn furniture needs to be stacked and tied down. The grill needs to be tied to the porch. The tomato plants need to be put in the shed. Mist changes to rain to downpour during all this. I take this time to sort 400 plus Duxbury Youth Football game shirts into 6 teams. Might as well, I have the time now.
We have bottled water, batteries, and bread. Milk is not a must have. I am thankful that we switched to a gas stove cooktop last year during the renovations. We have candles and board games. Cell phones, Kindles, and iPods are being charged to 100%. Cars are gased up.
The biggest thing was the garage. Demi thought there was no way we get one of the cars in it. We have all the new bathroom fixtures and items in there. We have all the game shirts I mentioned. And there was just random items in there since it was already crowded. I deem us as ready as we can be.
