We had a great time battening down the hatches today, getting ready for the impending typhoon of doom. Cliff had the day off (almost everyone that was involved in the exercise over the past two weeks, involving crazy hours, was scheduled to have the day off today) but we hadn't intended to spend it doing projects we were just going to have to turn around and undo. Oh well. Turns out, he'll also have tomorrow off. We'll all be confined to our homes at some point, until they call off the threat.
Anyway, we got the patio cover taken down, the BBQ and patio furniture put away in the sheds, the hanging and potted plants secured, bikes brought in the house, trashcans chained down, the portable shed strapped down, etc. We found lots of crazy critters while moving things:
This guy was just like the one who chased me in my own home one day. Oh...I haven't blogged about that yet? I'm still suffering from the flashbacks. It may take awhile to recover.
Jake and Coree found these gecko eggs while chasing a gecko (who had climbed up Cliff's leg, into his shirt, up his back and back out the arm hole to the ground).
Worried about their chances of survival, they thought maybe we should bring them inside. I assured them their mom probably laid them there for safe keeping, even in a typhoon.
Here's our sunset weather watch. Hopefully we'll be back in the AM with something more exciting. Unless this thing turns in the night...which doesn't look likely.
We're pretty sure we're all set with goods...flashlights, water, candles, plenty of food, baking supplies (must have typhoon goodies), games, movies, including Karate Kid II, which came in the mail today via Netflix. Coincidence? I think not. We're saving it so we can watch the Okinawa typhoon scene during our typhoon. We're just hoping the power stays on, of course.
Bring it, Kompasu. Let's see what you got. We've been wanting to try out this cement bunker for awhile now.

Stay safe! I will keep you in my thoughts. So glad you got treats beforehand.
Good luck! I have to admit, you calmness makes me think that all is going to be okay…also, your son's thumbs up is a positive sign.
