The net is slow because of a Microsoft server crash; the FAA has grounded everything; and USPS has just announced another rate hike. I’m going surfing. ---

My mechanic told me a couple of weeks ago that everything is going down for 90 days soon and to get more than 1 generator and stock up on food. I laughed at him. Now i’m not so sure. It is odd that the ATC goes down, moments after the FAA was asking congress for another $30B on top of the $15B they already got to try and fix the antiquated systems they use - INCLUDING FLOPPY DISKS! ---

The football team from the local university is scheduled to play an away game tomorrow. Their plane is unable to take off because of the flight shutdown. The domino effect of the shutdown is affecting college football games. They may affect other sports this weekend too. ---

What’s next? … Another run on toilet paper in stores? ---

We bolted bidets to every toilet in the house in 2020. LOL - not kidding… ---

The planes are taking off again, but meanwhile travellers were hitting AmTrak’s website to book tickets so hard that [_it_ went down, too](https://stl30.com/news/nation-world/amtrak-website-glitch-washington-airport-traffic-travel-booking-error-railroad-passenger). Plus also NOAA and the National Weather Service websites [had some difficulties, too](https://downdetector.com/status/national-weather-service/). So those of us _not_ near beaches probably shouldn’t try travelling to go surfing. @rms, send us some POV videos so we can ride along! 🏄‍♂️ ---

The creator was a surfer, who wanted to show himself riding the waves. As for me, I could get to the beach; but it’s 41° out; I think I’d rather stay home in front of the TV. ---

> [@papy](#): > > @rms, send us some POV videos so we can ride along! 🏄‍♂️ @Papy Sorry, but ‘Surfing’ for me is body surfing. No board, no cameras. However, I do scuba dive a bit too. The current El Nino is a once in a millennia weather phenomena. It has brought exceptionally warm water to southern California, and lots of warm-water animals - such as whale sharks and hammerheads - up here. If I do get any good photos, I’ll post them in the ‘fun with wild animals’ thread. ---

Yes, but stay clear of _California_ beaches right now - very dangerous waves/weather! ---

I have to laugh at that one. I used to joke that I don’t care what you do with my doilies – just don’t substitute them for reusable toilet paper. Yes, I went out and bought lots of wash cloths back in 2020 because who knew what was around the corner (thinking like cloth diapers) in case of emergency. Crazy thoughts. I’m on the Gulf in Mississippi inside at a retail show and it’s calm but COLD here. As for the FAA delays – read that the football games are having problems too because the Refs can’t fly in to referee a game. Funny how it affects so many different things you don’t normally think of. My brother and wife are flying back from Australia (vacation) tomorrow. We shall see. But everything seems to be up and running again. right? ---

> [@ASV\_Vites](#): > > My mechanic told me a couple of weeks ago that everything is going down for 90 days soon and to get more than 1 generator and stock up on food. WSJ had an article yesterday about Defense Department tellling it’s various departments to stock up on food, water, 90 days worth. P. HEGSETH AND YOUR MECHANIC MUST BE READING THE SAME DATA. My husband was a member of a USAF TITAN MISSILE CREW back in the 70’s, under the ground w/ a good-size retaliatory missle aimed at the enemy-of-the-decade(then it was the Russians.) He. says they had 30-DAYS food/water supply for a crew of 4, in case there was a nuclear incident. . I asked: What happened if you ran out? He answered: We were in the middle of Kansas, about 85 miles from Wichita. If and when we launched the payload and if /when were able to climb out and radiation didn’t kill us…Well it was better to die from thirst. It was quicker. ---

I will say that almost eveyone here in Trinity has a Genrac or something similar. Shocked me that a SELLING POINT for the home we bought, 2+ hours inland and not in the usual path of hurricaines(last one that directly hit here was over a century ago), is a whole-home generator,a Generac, powered by its own seperate propane tank!! My brother, who lives 3 hours way in N. Texas, was slavering w/ envy-told me that one costs about 25K!! I was floored!!! ---

> [@TEXASEXILEBOOKS](#): > > My brother, who lives 3 hours way in N. Texas, was slavering w/ envy-told me that one costs about 25K!! I was floored!!! They are not cheap, nor legal where we live… There’s not enough space on the property. I have a 6500 watt generator that we bought before Sandy and have used here and at my Dads house a few times during power outages. Last year, I put an EZ Generator switch on my heating unit so we could have heat, using the Generator if we lost power in the winter… I changed the oil and spark plug on it this summer so it’s ready to go. Started right up after sitting for many many years.
