it really wasn't much north of monmouth county in nj tbh...if this had been snow it would have been a monmouth ocean special while we struggled to get six inches or so, seen it many times. hope its not a pattern this winter, though not expecting much anyway with this el nino. kinda glad i missed the brunt of it as i hate power outages who doesn't. a few branches down here but nothing to be worried about; worst seemed to be saturday night. never got torrential rains either. lot of people asking wtf around here, but way it goes. better to be prepared, and i had my stuff together if needed.

wife had a huntington's walk in nj canceled. no place to hide out here.

i love it there, but parking is tough, so i now go to new rochelle when i fish the long island sound boats, they have parking.

getting a lot of heat from my daughter who wanted to go out tonight and frankly, its just a rainy evening here...though most of the time her friends go to asbury which is probably not the place to be at 2 am closing a bar with a coastal cranking.....

city island has a coastal vibe, with fishing boats and sea food joints. i sometimes go out on fishing boats there. it is close to orchard beach, which is one of the "killing fields" in north america, where lots of bodies have been found, though it differs in that most of them appear to be mob hits as opposed to serial killings in places like the texas killing fields or gilgo beach. one famous incident had two cops witness a couple guys walk out of the woods covered in blood, but did not think this was of any importance. there was, of course, a body found......

heard a radio crew at midland this morning, expecting the worst....

1010 wins just said there will be a lull before it gets cranking again tonight

yeah. like me. that year i just turned 34. didn't have kids yet and had been married a year. just got tenure, the golden handcuffs. hairstyle for me was already moot, as i was already in the chekov combover mode.....note, koenig was hired for star trek because they wanted a beatles/monkees look to appeal to younger viewers......

it will be a week before things settle down out there. fishing is done for the year; you get a storm like this in the fall, the fish skedaddle offshore. might bring the striped bass in early though.

i'm worried about my daughter coming from orlando thursday; they were saying last night the storm will be cranking already. normally i don't follow much this time of year, but damn....

meh. the damage is done for anglers and a storm like this, early in the season is curtains for us. had two good days of offshore weather. thanks, regulators, for shutting porgy season down til sept 1st. black sea bass season finally opens, but it won't matter at all, as they will head offshore after this. its almost like they don't want us to catch fish.....fluke closes the 25th here, again, won't matter, no one will be able to fish. i know its supposed to be warmer and snowless this winter for us, but this morning i have my lined pants and flannel shirt on for my walk....feels like november weather.

weeds in the garden over 6 feet tall....

"and the mornin sun is shinin like a red rubber ball..." ah, the 60s.....i guess they were on acid when they wrote the song....

we had it a few summers back, worse....i didn't leave the house for days.

hope it clears before the entire world sees messi and yamal struggling to breathe......of course messi doesn't do much running anyway.....
