Prepping for the weather week-end

Tropical Storm Sandy's on the way, and it looks like this one's going to punch us square in the nose here. Today is prep day as I make sure that the gutters are cleaned out, the drainage ditch is free of obstruction, that all loose items are secured, and that ample stocks of whatever I might need are here and available. My wrist is still mighty sore and I blame Murphy for this, of course. Bad timing for an injury like that, but it can't be helped now. I'll be posting sporadically the next few days, at least until the power goes out. And if any of you happen to be in the area during the storm, it's Hurricane Party time once the work's done and the Lair's reasonably secure. Come on by!
