Rain rain rain…

Four inches yesterday, 1.4 inches already today. NWS just posted a flood warning for Hillsborough River at Hillsborough River SP.

Yuck!

I saw a post on another blog tonight extolling the virtues of Marco Island while noting that they wouldn’t let him in.

Say what?

Some self-righteous assholes who presume to have more money than you won’t  let you into their precious island resort? Then TELL US ABOUT IT!  No need to soft-pedal anything. Speak the truth.

Was it no place to park? Well, ok, go somewhere else. But I get from your blog that they wouldn’t let you in to begin with. Why? Was it the fact that you didn’t have a $2 mil rig (I dunno)?  Was it the fact the we, all of us, are trailer trash?

And who are they to expect help in the next Cat 5?  They call it Hurricane Pass for a reason, you know.

The mechanic had to replace a part. Then found he needed a part for the part. Then found he needed a part to connect the two parts, and the part to connect the two parts had to be ordered from parts unknown.

Once those parts are installed, he can run the engine long enough to determine whether or not he’ll need to replace another part. If so, that part will also have to be ordered from parts unknown.

Sounds like we’ll have Miss Lueffie back in good working order about mid-2011. Of course by then some other part will have rusted out and fallen off…
