Well about 10 days from when they started talking about it. Dorian will finally grace us with his presence. Forecasting 3in rain and wind around 45, gusts could hit 70. Coastal flooding with 3-6’ storm surge. I can’t imagine what it was/is like in the Bahamas. This storm was bad ass and literally stopped over the Bahamas. We dodged a bullet, can’t say the same for them. :peace:

i think all of Florida dodged this one, with exception of the coastal communities and beach erosion....stay safe my friend...

No! I didn't even know about the Big Nickel until I saw your post. I think I stopped twice in Sudbury if I remember right (and that is an iffy proposition): once to be nosy with the striking miners, and another stop to partake of the cultural uniqueness that is a Tim Hortons. I had a donut and a diet Coke.
~edit~ Sorry for the late response!

My hometown guess I’m used to the sulfur smell now from the mines

I realized how cheap and crappy so many things are built today. Have a Samsung microwave and went to use it this morning only to find out it wouldn't work. The door wouldn't stay closed. The double latch mechanism wouldn't latch. Did a quick google search and found that it's a fairly common problem. The mount holding the spring in place broke off. Well I wasn't going to pay to have a $200 microwave fixed so I look at a short youtube video showing how to take the door apart and do a quick fix. I get everything opened up and the spring is just dangling. The mount that broke wasn't even the common break point and required a different fix. I used a drill, small nail and a pair of pliers and had it fixed in ten minutes.

In the first picture the part that broke off is marked with a red arrow. I can't believe they mounted the spring to such a flimsy piece of plastic. The fix I came up with is far superior and will not fail. I drilled a hole through the plastic frame and into the metal frame holding in the inside glass. My quick fix is better engineering than what a $200 billion dollar company came up with.

My kids went on a helicopter tour. I don't care for helicopters, Jesus nut.

Clark is on Luzon Island, near Bali Bago and Angeles City in the Phillipines. My husband was stationed there from 69-70.

Geez that's a long haul back to the west coast. I couldn't imagine doing that on a prop plane.

We went on a 10 minute helicopter tour over Niagara Falls. It was okay, we were paired with six other people we didn't know and their kids just yelled constantly over the headsets. This tour is totally private, just the two of us... and the pilot of course.

"Jesus Nut" lol I've never heard that term before.

I was just reading that the USCG is deploying multiple cutters and 17 shallow-water rescue boat teams and Canada has dispatched our DART team. Looking at those photos is amazing anyone survived.
