    for those of us in the 757, sorry. My fault. 3 years ago I bought my first generator. Haven't lost power since. Today, I bought a chain saw in case the waters rise and we're in the attic. so you may curse my name to the god of your choice. I almost got you a primo swell. Thought I popped my back out yesterday. but a Cofal, http://www.ticoshopping.com/Cofal-Fuerte-4.2-oz, rub down saved me, and you, for having any fun.

    I'd sacrifice a board, but I love her so. maybe the wifey. we'll see.

    757.....or anywhere.....

    I think this season is going to be a disappointment to y'all...........as far as canes go...

    I'm hoping for an old school fall. A quick change in temperatures and plenty of cold front swells..........

    The way it's supposed to be...........

    Cape Verde season doesn't really get interesting until the last week in August.

    Unless we get some early August tropical storms, which happens some years, I think August is the worst month for the East Coast. September is fun to track storms, but a lot of let downs, and October/November is time to clear your schedule.

    ****Hijack warning****

    Careful of those mangoes. I learned the hard way that they contain the same active ingredient as poison ivy, urushiol. It's only in the skin and the seed, the meat is safe supposedly. I was eating a couples mangos a day and definitely ate some skin.

    Urushiol is also in pistachios and cashews.

    I'm sure te NSA got a pretty good laugh at the searches I was doing trying to narrow down why I was itchy.

    Its on figs too. Its usually at the source, that white pasty sperm-like fluid that emerges when you pick them. The fruit is fine, except for the dead wasps inside.

    Cashews aren't nuts but stems off the Marañones, which looks like a pepper. They're poisonous until cooked. Some people swell up like a tick just touching them.

    I've noticed every year since Katrina that they forecast a "busy season in the tropics". It's just hype. They have no idea what is going to happen from year to year.
