Preppers...

I'm a prepper, he's a prepper, she's a prepper, we're a prepper... wouldn't you like to be a prepper, too?  I may have an "r" or 5 too many in there.

"Preppers" are also known as survivalists - those who prepare for what the future may bring, whether it is a breakdown of society, a cataclysmic natural disaster, or the zombie apocalypse.  On the way south, heading for home, we picked up another generator "just to have."  We are only in the middle of hurricane season, so it is important to be prepared.

We also received notice from our resort management that power on our island is going to be off-line for a day next week, while infrastructure is replaced.  Yesterday, we heard that the "replacement procedure" is actually going to be over a 4 week period... one day each week.  While the summer heat has no idea that today is "officially" the start of autumn.  They have made arrangements for residents here to get a good rate at one of the hotels on SPI for a day... so they don't succumb to the heat with no a/c.  Being proper preppers, we picked up a room air conditioner today... one that will run on our generator... because... what could possible go wrong with service related work?

The house is good.  We "prepped" the scoots today.  If the dredge operation ever finishes in our canal, we may get the boat back in the water.  The moving back in process continues.

Another hot, humid day; it was 84º when I got up this morning, around 7:00.  Unlike many areas, we rarely get more than 10º of temperature swing from day to night, but I was expecting major heat with that start to the day.  It only got to the upper 80s, with humidity in the "ungodly" range.

And, little Izzy...

That insect-looking thing in front of her is not one of our local crawlie-critters - that is part of one of her toys.  She is sitting on the bottom of her tower, because "anybody can look cool sitting on the top platform"... and she is one cool kitty.  The air conditioning helps.  ;-)
