Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / July 2005Hurricanes Really Blow, Literally
Batten down the hatches, Florida! Looks like [Hurricane] Dennis the Menace is going to make last year's [Hurricane] Ivan the Terrible look like a summer breeze.

This time we're going to batten everything down/board it up and head to a shelter for a good night's sleep. We'll worry about the aftermath after it passes.

Appreciated, Kate, but I'm not leaving this new place. (I had so much fun doing my "forensic gardening" last weekend that I didn't go anywhere. And didn't want to.) By the time Dennis gets here at the end of next week, we'll probably need the rain. :() : > Hey dwight... : > no foolin... if you need a place to hide out. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] : By the time Dennis gets here at the end of next week, we'll probably need : the rain. I know WE do. Our place has cracks so deep in the clay that I swear a Chinaman is hollering at me from the other side of the big one by the back porch. Forensic gardening? I'd like to know more about THAT! We have had some interesting discoveries on our place. Nothing to shout about, just weird little heaps of junk hidden amongst the leaves. >We have had some interesting discoveries on our place. Nothing to shout >about, just weird little heaps of junk hidden amongst the leaves. That's called a Toyota! ROFLMAO! Actually, there IS an old Sturebaker just on the other side of our property line hidden out in the trees. Upside down and rusted to death. Found pieces of an old stove, and the stash where the roofers hid their trimmings and Dr Pepper bottles. I don'[t understand why people out here don't use construction dumpsters rather than just pushing it into a pile out of sight. I suppose that since we came from a place where property is at a premium, we learned to care for every inch we could. Kate : >We have had some interesting discoveries on our place.

We took possession of the place on May 20th. The back edge of the property is bordered by a chain link fence that separates us from the reservoir. That chain link fence is overgrown with vines and ivy. I have about 100' of brush and overgrowth growing along that fence, anywhere from 20' to 30' deep. One week, I found roses blooming inside that mess. Then a yellow day lily poked up through the thicket. After staring at it for a month, I decided to start cutting it back, 'cause I have plans for next year... The first feature I uncovered was a carefully placed border of rocks. Five feet deeper, I found a pair of tall "decorative grasses" - the large round growths that look like spider plants. I cut around what roses I found, and pulled a ton of weeds and vines out from the area. I uncovered several lilies in there, too. It's kind of like an archeological dig - I have to be careful not to chop out something that should stay. But my 100' of tangled mess is little by little looking like a planned landscape. Funny part is, ALL of it is coming out this fall. I'm going to nuke the space and lay down a cut-flower garden in the spring. dwight : We took possession of the place on May 20th. The back edge of the property : is bordered by a chain link fence that separates us from the reservoir. That [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] : : dwight Sounds pretty interesting. I think it would be fun to find all those goodies, like you said, like sorting through ruins. You can always transplant the things you want to keep, or replant them. We have been working on a brick and cobblestone patio in the front of the house, it replaced a weed patch that was prone to flooding after a rain. The previous owner didn't do much with it so it was a big mess out there. http://www.kizthiz.com/patiobefore.jpg The plants on the stairs were dug up from the original space, I am still trying to find them a home. They shocked pretty badly because of the heat. It turned out real well.. http://www.kizthiz.com/patioafter.jpg now all we have to do is get the accent pieces, a bistro table, small bench and some planters. It will be a nice place to watch the sunset and really made a difference on the entry of the house. Next will be to get rid of the columns, put in porch rails and shutters and paint the front door white. *sigh* it never ends.

Hey - Jean's been talking about replacing the : wood patio deck with a stone patio... I don't suppose you work in stone as : well as brick, do you? Yup! But bricks are much easier. You MIGHT want to consider stamped and stained concrete. Looks like stone, much nicer surface. We were going to put natural stone in there first, but had a terrible thing happen. We discovered that the material they sold us to go under the stones turned to pudding when it got wet. We had to rip them all out and start over. http://www.kizthiz.com/stoned.jpg It was a LOT of damn heavy lifting and hard work. Luckily it was before we put the mortar in. I decided since we were going to put a table out there that I wanted a smoother surface than the natural stone. So the chairs would sit flat. :I'd like a 25-foot stepped waterfall along the left edge, if you can swing it. Oh yea, that should be pretty straight forward, except for the digging, running the electrical and moving the stones that is! A good place for stones is NOT your local landscaping outfit, but rather a quarry. The stones you saw in that photo, were under $20 If you bought them at a nursery they would be a lot more than that, I had put in rock gardens earlier in the year, wanted the stones to tie it all in. I'll figure it out though. : Here's a photo page of the reclamation project: : http://www.tfrog93.com/Brinton/Garden/Project.htm I really like the way your work is progressing, The flowers you have found are beautiful It would be a shame to get rid of them. Maybe replant them alongside the waterfall when you put it in. The berries... not for me thanks. Snakes hide in berry bushes and they run amok (bushes, not snakes) so quickly. : I have nowhere near 10 acres (okay, roughly 1/20th of that), but I still : wonder what to do with all the crap I'm pulling out of the "garden". I'll : have to check into open burning. Failing that, I may have to buy a : chipper/shredder. We need one too. It's all about the bottom line though. Money money money.

That's what they claim anyway.... That's odd. Wonder why... Half the truck drivers are gay. Maybe the other half carries those tire irons as protection against THEM. dwight I dunno... it's your city.... maybe there's something in the library about it... LOL Seriously, I stopped a trucker to check his credentials in northern Maine (so far north we went south to get to Canada). He had the tire iron handy right there on his door, which seemed a bit strange. He said he makes a regular run up and down the eastern seaboard and like all his fellow truckers, if they make a stop, the tire irons go in with them because of all the gays who hang out in those places and accost anyone who stops. Of course, as we all know... everyone's gotta go some time... >> Philly... isn't that the other cheese place? OK, at least I was >> polite enough not to mention the "City of "Brotherly Love"....

Next to the Greyhound bust station was an alley. Dad went down the alley (it was night) and when the guy followed him into the alley... WHAM!!! BIFF!!!! SOCK!!! POWEE!!! and dad left the alley to go catch his bus to get back to his duty station. Unfortunately, the guy staggered out of the alley all torn up and bloodied, screaming like a banshee, right into the arms of the Shore Patrol. Needless to say, pop didn't catch his bus. So, he called his duty station and his CO drove down the coast to get him out. Meanwhile, the cops cut him loose and put him on a bus. So, he got in trouble for the "fight", and for not being in jail when his CO got there to bail him out. Something about scrubbing jeeps with a toothbrush and painting the flagpole. In Syracuse, NY, back around 1966, rolling gays in "fairy circle" was where the beer money was.... they had plenty and the drunks had already spent theirs.

Having been through both (The Okie F-4 in 98 and last year's Florida 'canes), I tend to agree. I'd rather sit through a hurricane, which is exactly what I said when I moved back to Florida after the F-4. We got 17 inches of rain in June so everything is already flooded. Here in central Florida we're a bit stressed over the rain Dennis promises, but today's been nice and sunny thus far. My 13 year old niece is in Pensacola right now visiting her dad. We were going to go pick her up yesterday but at this point, traffic is impossible to get through in or out of there. Her dad promised to take her to a shelter. Let's keep our fingers crossed for everyone in Dennis' path! Kidd- sitting just on the outskirts of Orlando > > They do, but I'd rather a hurricane than a tornado. > > Having been through both (The Okie F-4 in 98 and last year's Florida > 'canes), What F4 are you talking about in 1998? We had a F5 May 3rd of 1999, and a F4 May 8th of 2003. They were 3 F3's in 1998. There was also the F2 that hit Moore in October of 1998. Can you help me out here, I am lost? Don Manning Don't panic, Don. As a graduate of HS in Ft Walton Beach in 66, I couldn't tell you what levels hit us. I do know the house my folks were looking at with the private dock on the bay and guest house, disappeared in 67. I have been through some hurricanes, big and small, including one that hit when we lived on Cape Cod, went out to sea and came back and hit us again back around 1961. And I've been through some mighty big typhoons, monsoons, gales, blizzards, forest fires, and lots of earthquakes, including a 7.6 earthquake in Portugal in 1981.... talk about an amusement park ride!!!!! Even seen schools closed in Ft Walton Beach area for snow. No matter where you live, there is some weather situation to contend with. It doesn't really matter when it's over whether it's F3 or F4 to the person who loses their home or a loved one. When you decide to live in areas prone to those things, you accept what comes..... and you make darn sure your insurance is up to date.... >> > They do, but I'd rather a hurricane than a tornado. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >Don Manning Spike 1965 Ford Mustang fastback 2+2 A Code 289 C4 Trac-Lok Vintage Burgundy w/Black Standard Interior; Vintage 40 16" rims w/BF Goodrich Comp T/A gForce Radial 225/50ZR16 KDWS skins; surround sound audio-video.
