It is Fall Back Time

The 2012 version of Daylight Savings Time ends this coming weekend, so don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour before going to bed Saturday night, Nov. 3.
Technically, you should set your clocks back one hour Sunday, Nov. 4, at 2 a.m. local daylight time, which will then become 1 a.m. local daylight time.
Not all places in the U.S. observe daylight time. In particular, Hawaii and most of Arizona do not use it.  Also this is a good time to remember to change your smoke and CO batteries.  We do get an extra hour of sleep.

HMS Bounty

Rick and I kayaking during the Schooner Festival went right by the HMS Bounty how we should remember her.  Here is a picture of her going down yesterday.  Very sad.

The ocean is still roaring from Sandy

Tuesday high tide on the Back Shore and Good Harbor Beach.  The power of nature.

Hurricane Sandy on the move

Rick and I walked to Rafe’s Chasm an hour ago and took this video.  Very windy and be safe, the rocks are really slippery.

Took this picture at 7:00 Low Tide on Shore Road, the waves are crashing up onto the rocks and high tide is not until 12:00..  Nature showing us who is boss.

Be safe all

Calm before the storm

Clear History

Saw some of the crew today.  Actually Larry David waved to me from his car as I let his car passed.  Here are a couple of pictures of the equipment and those cute little cars.

On Friday took Avery and Cole to the beach.  Cole, my 3 year old grandson, stated, “that is way too much fun for me”  He then told me he wants to do the greasy pole.  I love kids.
