Ah... this is the life... a houseboat on Lake Ponchatrain
and no TV or Radio for the whole month... posting this on a PDA off someone's wireless set up.

"Got booze in the blender... and soon it will render...

Later, doodz.

5. Yeh, so, have you thought about how much $ you can spare
for the relief? Any consideration to which group you're gonna give it to?

7. Just got back from doing the same thing
My Air Force buddies, their families and me (and my family) all got together on Lake Cumberland, in Kentucky. There were 14 of us in all on a 80' X 20' houseboat. It IS the life. You sure as hell got that right!

10. Funniest post this morning...
Edited on Sun Aug-28-05 09:45 AM by mcscajun
...but that Hurricane is certainly no joke.

I'm fearful for friends down in Baton Rouge, and I'm expecting there'll be a huge need for relief funds this week. Cajun Country is gonna be devastated by this.

18. Man, this wireless connection keeps dropping
Edited on Sun Aug-28-05 10:33 AM by WannaJumpMyScooter
it took me three tries to get this posted...

Fuck, it's windy here. But that keeps the mozzies at bay.

Damn... just saw this weather report... is it bad?

Widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms. Hurricane force winds. Some thunderstorms may produce heavy rainfall. Lows in the lower 80s. Northeast winds 20 to 45 mph with gusts to around 60 mph increasing to 35 to 75 mph with gusts to around 105 mph after midnight. Chance of showers and thunderstorms 90 percent.

21. Cool. I'm headed down to New Orleans right now.
I'm going on one of those 3 off-shore fishing trips, the ones where you tie up to an oil rig overnight

Mind if I come visit on my way back? I've always wanted to spend some time on a houseboat.

23. Sure, stop on by... I will be the fourth one turned over
on land, past the roofless school, before the car parts pile.
