We found parts and fixed a toilet that was running, a big victory. Put a bunch more stuff away, so now there are very few boxes. I went down to the beach again about 2, to see the difference from the early AM. There were 100 yards of vendors' tents, more tents down the beach, people sunning, people hanging out in the water, boats flying by, jet skis, parasails, all the usual beach stuff. A far cry from our quiet morning walks. Again, sorry, no pictures..
I do believe now that the tide is high in the early afternoon, I'll take advantage and go for a long swim tomorrow or Tuesday. I'm sure Shadow will want to join me.
We tried the mojarra (tilapia) tonight, I pan fried it with a TON of garlic. It was quite good, obviously fresh, and the garlic was just brown, a little crispy, a little chewy. It was delicious, but the fish wasn't our favorite. It just has that tilapia texture, not firm like flounder, snapper, halibut, haddock. We are both waiting for that extra part for the barbecue to arrive, then we're all over the sea bass.
I understand there's a hurricane closing in on Nova Scotia!! Stay safe, you guys!

Compared to Juan 5 years ago, Kyle was a non event. I was laughing at the Weather Channel guy telling people to stay indoors and not risk going outside until the storm was past, meanwhile the rain had stopped, the winds dropped and the whole thing was pretty much over by 10PM. No damage, no power outage and I think my satellite internet connection was there pretty much the whole time.
Hi Guys, For us it was worse than Juan because we didn't get much of Juan in the south shore. It was more a Halifax/Dartmouth event. But, as Dave said it still wasn't much. Very windy and rainy. Being on the water it may have been a little worse. We lost power from 5:30pm to 9:30pm which wasn't as bad as the Nova Scotia Power outage line was predicting which was power resumption 11:30am Sept. 30th. I was not impressed. 9:30 last night was much better. I think Barrington/Shelburne had it a little worse than us. The blog is great. I think I'll sign up for Lurkers anonymous. I do alot of reading but not much writing.
Glad to hear it wasn't too big a deal. Lurker's anonymous!! Ahhahahahahaaaa. Thanks for the great laugh first thing in the day,Shirleen, that was hilarious.
We have the door open for the first hour in the morning now, just to air the place out, and we're listening to dogs barking and roosters crowing.
Yeah well i guess the only thing I was worried about was having all the stuff open to work on the web site and having the power go out.That wouldn't have been good....I think hehe.As for a non event Dave lives in the woods hahaha.It would have to blow 150km/h for him to feel it.Our power flickered a couple of times right before you called so I though we should postpone it.I will however be up tonight till all hours.
Juan came ashore right on top of us in Eastern Passage when he came, so Kyle just did not seem that bad.
I can still recall the look on Tammy's face 2 days after Juan, me leaving with my golf clubs headed to Florida on HMCS MONTREAL for 6 weeks down south, she going back to a house with no water, no electricity and no Tim Horton's, lol.
Just went back and checked on Juan, some neat pictures at the web page. Shirleen hit the nail on the head, bet that Barrington got it worse than us.

Looking at the pictures is strange, just remembered that I had replaced all the doors, windows, re-sided the house and built a new deck that summer, not a thing moved. Well, the new 6foot double garden door to the deck had me worried that night, as it was "flexing", not a good feeling.
Glad you guys are all right. We don't get hurricanes here so I think it's kind of funny listening to you debate which was the worst one. Yikes! Talked to Mum last night and Larry got soaked trying to secure their front door which was threatening to blow off. Storm or no storm, she was mighty glad to be home.
luv ya
