Have flight booked to Orlando for Tuesday night so I can do damage control on our home? Bringing LED lights with lots of batteries, tarps, gorilla tape, easy to transport food, etc... So I can do temporary repairs if necessary. Both golf carts are full of gas and I have 10 extra gallons of ethanol free gas in the garage. Also have propane grill and two tanks of propane waiting in garage and a freezer full of frozen fish and meat. Also have several gallons of water and bottles of gatoraid in house. Very nice neighbor has put any potential projectiles in my garage and removed sign from lamp post. Might have to fill buckets of water from nearby retention pond to flush toilet? Have shuttle booked with Villages Airport Van, which runs on propane, so will not be effected by gas shortage. Hope the flight doesen't get cancelled, expecting an adventure.
