I recently had my queen palms trimmed.   I am not sure what I find it fascinating about it, but these trees make a TON of garbage, constantly.   These guys came in and practically filled up their trailer with the debris.

Warning, this is 35 seconds of your life you won't get back.

 

 

 

How do you have palm trees in Vernon??  Even Martels at the beach supposedly has them trucked in each summer.

LOL.

No, that's my home in Florida.  Those guys showed up when I was back here and I watched them do it live.  The amount of shit dropping out of the trees was amazing.

As a normal course of events, almost every day when we are down there, more shit comes out of the tree.   Annually they need a big trim like that.

 

Southerner problems.  These guys can't relate.

So the Tropical storm is headed over my house in the next couple days.  I'm expecting some palm fronds and streets with water.  I can watch it from here :)

I wanted to make the garage door Hurricane resistant, but my wife didn't think it was necessary.  When our roof blows off because the door blows in, I'll be sure to remind her.

I've been watching the track on Cyclocane.  Initially they had it going up the FL gulf coast but now it looks like it will pass up the east coast out over the ocean and east of SC.  Hope it keeps pushing east.

I've been popping over to WXDISCO and they are pretty much saying the same.  They are also suggesting it could be a real wet one for the Jersey shore.  While the storm isn't formed well, apparently the wind field aloft is large and could reform over Hispaniola and then track into a bigger storm as it moves up the coast.   We shall see.
