a nasty evening last night listening to the driving rain, looking for leaks, listening to the sump pump run every 3 minutes, wondering if the water front would still be intact. At least we were comforted by the fact we put the patio furniture in a safe haven, and the table was anchored by that heavy counter weight.
as i was generally coming awake, there arose such a clatter that I arose from my bed to see what was the matter.....this was:
to borrow a phrase from Arlo, there are circles and arrows to show original and final position of the (ugly) device around the pool filter. Note also the allegedly anchored patio table jauntily sitting in the lawn...
then a check of the rain guage surprised me unless some got blown out, it wasn't as bad as i thought:
the last check in the box was to see if the rip rap did it's job, mercifully it did, and note the water level on the piers
i didn't see any floating lumber so hopefully all the piers were intact. bye bye ida, get outta here!
Quick Foodie Note:
The enterprise's "weekend" section "reviews" Saphron in Prince Freddie. What caught my eye was the fact that the Chef, John Obal, although from Omaha, the menu reflects "Obal's native Charleston, S.C.", and in fact it is supposed to be "low country cuisine" shrimp and grits kind of thing. The "reviewer" does remark that "the meals are not cheap". Unlike his normal practice he doesn't quote a price for everything on the menu, but does mention that on the "high end" it's $28 for a mediterranian pasta dish. This of course from the source that recommends eating off sytrofoam at Captain Pats. Hey buddy, good food can cost something. Never having been there, for a fancy dish at a fine dining place, 29 bucks isn't exhorbitant. Anyway, I think it will go on the "try" list..
and i'll do low country
