Why Is A Dual Fuel Generator Such A Life Saver? I get a lot of questions from people about generators. Some look good just based on price, BUT... I have found that my dual fuel generator has always come thru for me on both counts. #hurricane #prep youtu.be/NdfjN4hwoEg

oes hurricane prep have to break the bank? No... I have done DIY #hurricane #prep for decades, saving money and helping to survive these terrible storms. I hope all in the path of Bertha are safe. Here is the link to the episode post on how to save money: www.hunkerdownguide.com/space/podcas...

Tropical Update - Monday, July 20, 2026 - A Tropical Depression In The Gulf Things are spinning in the Atlantic basin, with a Tropical Depression 2 in the gulf. I made an episode of my podcast on this if you want to watch it with our community HunkerDownGuide.com Youtube: youtu.be/vwClaGeI97I

Tropical Friday - July 17, 2026 - Is Something Spinning In The Gulf? We have had a drought in Florida but today it really started raining. There looks like #tropical system, starting to spin the Gulf, just off Tampa. Here is my podcast: youtu.be/FcKFQkdRh8c #hurricane #prep #hunkerdownguide .com

Tropical Thursday on July 9, 2026 - Calm in the Atlantic ... In today's episode I take us thru a few of the tools from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) that show us what is happening now and into the next week (or two). Please join us on our community Hunkerdownguide.com lnkd.in/edT7ark3

Do get stressed, fearful, and lose focus when trying to get prepared for a tropical storm or hurricane? You are not alone. In today's HunkerDownGuide.com podcast episode, I talk about 6 strategies for staying sane when you are in the cone of panic. youtu.be/wfZN3GeIs28

Do you know if your home is in a hurricane evacuation zone? I created a simple to follow lesson video on how to find this critically important info for yourself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2iq...

Thank goodness the tropics seem calm here in the US for our 250th birthday weekend. youtu.be/WWcNziU0enw?...

I have a new video out explaining my #hurricsne #prep book, Day Before Disaster. youtu.be/9zgZ1deMwrw?...

Clean drinking water is one of those things we take for granted in the USA as it flows out of every faucet. But a tropical storm of hurricane can easily shut that down. Our family had our water essentially cut off with a Boil Water Order for 6 days after hurricane Milton. youtu.be/fWyAhtpJZC8

I "retired" from my Director IT job, wrote a book, and launched a website - all about hurricane prep. My website is a free community for anyone who wants to learn about ways to protect your family, home, and pets during hurricanes. www.hunkerdownguide.com My book is available on Amazon

Really??? Frump has enough money to tear down 1/3 of the White House, put in gold bathroom fixtures, and build a 1000 person banquet hall, but can't help feed kids and families. And don't give me the BS about donations used to do the construction...PATHETIC. As they say: Wake up America.

Getting over a stomach bug and decided to make a short trip to the most healing place I know...Lettuce Lake Park. It is like breathing in peace, breathing out love, breathing in healing, breathing out harmony. May you all find a spot like this near you❤️

PROUD TO BE WOKE

Today is my birthday, and I am thankful for each day. I am also thankful for family, friends, and nature.

#bitsofnature.earth From my Sunday morning yesterday. I love the early morning sun thru the forest.

As an #engineer, this is the kinda of insanity that has to stop, if humanity is to survive to the next level. Imagine a "modern" country like Russia, bombing a #nuclear structure built to protect all of us. Are they insane? There is no justification possible. www.dw.com/en/risks-pos...

#UU Our musical service today led by Jim Scott. This us in our domed church in Tampa.

@soniasimone.bsky.social Sonia, just read your email "Can content creators do without AI?". Very cool. Ive been using #AI as a web app dev to mainly explore potential coding solutions & running ideas past it. If you use AI for code, you better be a great programmer...if for writing, a great writer

My #flutter app project involves having local database on phones with syncing to and from central backend. I was playing with #sqlite and #pocketbase, but just discovered #objectbox. Anyone out there have any experience with it? The local db Objectbox is Open source but sync part is subscription?

Update on the grasshoppers...they all dispersed across the yard all day, but even more have found the one palm tree they like to huddle together on...it is 7pm. Amazing.

At our #uu domed church at #uuct this morning...consider, just consider, that just maybe...the way we do things or the things we think are right or wrong, are sometimes out of sync with the facts, the data.

Daughter Brenna made us fruit!

Lettuce Lake Park here in #Tampa. I hike around here every weekend, except last 2. During that time the green leaves exploded. I love reflections. The observation tower gives you an amazing view. The Hillsborough River flows from swamps thru to downtown. This protected area full of gators and birds.

Seems colder than normal this morning...48F (will be 82F later), and these baby grasshoppers seem to be huddled together for warmth. Fascinating what lifeforms are capable of. #bitsofnature.earth Note most are on the side of one of our palm trees, but one group on a plant formed a sort of cross.

Murrels Inlet, South Carolina. Visiting family.

Is there an equivalent on #bluesky of the live spaces thing on the evil #x ? I would like to be able to do a live stream here on app dev.

I love listening to this small group of #flutter devs as I drive to work. They do a live spaces thing on X, but I listen to the podcast version. Very democratic group, with random devs joining in. Flutter has an appeal beyond just being an app dev framework/language IMHO. flutterspaces.com

#food

Wake up #Pokey and #Gumby. You are late to work!!!! Happy Tuesday everyone on #Bluesky. Have a meaningful day. You are here for a reason. Peace to you.🖖

We visited the Manatee Viewing Center, near Tampa today. Weather has warmed up so not as many as we have seen in Winter. They swim near the warm water outflow from power plant. A beautiful mangrove forest here.

Almost forgot our outdoor #cat Romeo. Rescued feral cat, he loves his cement aligator lol.

The 3 #cats and our #dog Mel enjoying the house more than the humans lol.

#kitchen My wife and I finished our DIY lower cabinet rebuild project last night. $650 supplies, paint, hardware. Took 6 weeks worth of Saturdays. Happy nothing major in landfill. The room...subway tile, shelves, led lights, counter, walls, we redid a few years ago. I will replace sink soon.

#pokey and #gumby are climbing Mount Pepper

I was so excited, we grew a few heads of lettuce and I made oyr salad from it tonight! Perfect weather in Florida for growing things.

#kitchen is getting closer...we rebuilt some messed up lower cabinets, instead of throwing them in a landfill. Some refacing , sanding, and painting...drawers with new pulls are installed. Now for the big doors we redid. It takes weeks when we work all week and only have stolen time to do it. ❤️

#friends Just wanted to say, thank you to all of you for the positive feedback on my crazy array of posts here. It is so nice to have a laid back social media account, where we can explore ideas on business, tech, beliefs in higher things, nature, photos, pets, politics (lol), cats, and even #gumby❤️

Our kitchen, refacing cabinets and doors. Waiting on hinges and pulls. Redoing ourselves saves money, but also feels good. Saves the 24 year old cabinets from ending up in landfill. BTW, about 5 years ago we ripped down top cabinets, I tiled walls and built the open shelving. BEST thing ever.🖖

I am feeling the #stress coming from the seemingly crazy people messing around with our government here. Yes, it definitely had some bloat, but it does so much for so many. I guess #Frump only looks for a "profit", to the few, and not greater service to everyday citizens, those in need, nature. #uu

Hi everyone. US Citizen here, hoping that you all realize that a large number of us are horrified and disgusted by the actions of our administration. These tarrifs with our allies and friends #Mexico and #Canada are bad. Instability will trigger the bubble burst that will crash his support. Hang on🖖

#pokey has wings, taking #gumby up.

At our #uu church in Tampa today (I love sitting in the second floor loft), our minister, Rev Doak, talked about how troubling the world and our country is. He said it is not about taking a 'side'. We just need to be on the side of love, hope, and justice. I hope you are too. I like that❤️

#gumby says "steady #pokey"

apnews.com/article/doge... These 21 IT staffers are heros. We must all take a stand.

In one week here in Florida, the trees when from barren to green. It was a lovely weekend. Peace to you all.

Even dogs and cats can learn to live in peace, why can't we? #uu
