I'm physically out of work today at noon. (I never arrived mentally at all)
Vehicle packed by 2:00, trip to HD to get some bales & then it's chill time until the alarm goes off at 5:30a tomorrow morning.

I can live with this forecast being as close to a hurricane as we'll be this week.

Keep shaking the fist to send it further south and east of Athens, please. I can't deal with issues here Wednesday night.

The windspeed lines are so close.
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/gra...nd120#contents

20 to 30 is what it looks like now, but a slight shift one way or the other could be nothing to 60!

fieldodreams79 · 9 Oct 2018, 23:57 (Ref:3855794)

So I started packing...

We are definitely on the edge, but that is why we pack the picture below

Also, the hurricane may be strong, but Jesus look at the cold front stretching from Canada to he Mexico border and covering the most Midwest and great plains.

It was 88 where I was today. I'm done with it

**joeb** · 10 Oct 2018, 17:08 (Ref:3855949)

Just stopped for lunch in enemy territory. No rain or haircuts yet. How are things at the track?

broadrun96 · 10 Oct 2018, 19:01 (Ref:3855968)

There's this weird bright shiny thing in the sky that's making me squint right now and humid 80 degrees. Latest forecast says high chance of rain about when you arrive at 6 and all night

Super. I'm feeling up for the last time. If traffic gets normal I'll be there after 6.

The sun was out by the time I got home and it was a steamy 85! Fun packing a car in that!

Getting felt up one last time in enemy territory sounds about right.

fieldodreams79 · 10 Oct 2018, 21:12 (Ref:3856000)

Starting to get the rain here in Athens as the outer bands approach. Looks like it'll be starting soon up at the track.

I should see you all there on Friday evening. I'll head out of Greenville around 4 and get there just as track action is ending for the day. I've been keeping tabs on this thread. If it turns out anyone misses any supplies let me know and I'll pick it up on my way.

Thanks man, we're looking good right now but who knows after a night of wind and rain.

fieldodreams79 · 11 Oct 2018, 11:47 (Ref:3856105)

How goes it up there, boys? Seemed to be little more than a gust or two here, with a decent amount of rain. Maybe one last round of rain, then windy for the rest of the day followed by beautiful skies and temps!

We don't mess around up here good sir, just like the boy scouts we're prepared for puny little hurricanes

Good. The Aussie Grills survived so the Kiwi stays in the shed w/ Graham Goodwin.

fieldodreams79 · 11 Oct 2018, 20:44 (Ref:3856168)

Anyone looking for us. T4 under the water oak and flags...

Too late. You've been sucked into the wormhole.

fieldodreams79 · 14 Oct 2018, 16:34 (Ref:3856815)

Good to see everyone and to finally meet scottyp!

Happy Day after your birthday, JHamilton!

Hope everyone who made out had a great time and make it home safe and easy.

**joeb** · 16 Oct 2018, 12:50 (Ref:3857113)

I set my tent up Sunday to dry with the rest of my gear and it has rained since then. Hopefully by tomorrow I can actually get it dry.

scottypinthemix · 16 Oct 2018, 15:44 (Ref:3857133)

Had a great time post Wednesday.
We suffered some damaged gear. I fell into a sink hole filled with water on thursday night.
It was way cool to meet everyone.
147 days until super sebring.
