Hurricane Harvey

[Alaskan]

About to take Gracie for a walk - towards the end of the road. Gotta see what's happening out there.

take some more pictures.

sure is nice that the water is no longer so close.

sounds like you still have electric too, right?

@Alaskan how are your parents?

Has anyone heard from @greybeard?

I have been considering the snake idea last night. Moccasins can swim quite a bit, but Rattlers will only swim until finding a place to get out of water. I would be very careful with floating debris having snakes in, around, and on top of, hidden in crevices. Probably don't have to tell Texans abt Rattlers, but it was a daydream moment that disturbed me.

Also on the cheddar debate. I am a big cheese lover. My MIL works at a cheese factory that produces for Kroger Supermarkets. I would take the goat cheese right now. I had it on pizza with green apples once. The cheese made it ok.

No word from @greybeard yet. FEM you will be ok now, the storm is moving away. I am so grateful that you were spared.

Worried about Graybeard - hope we hear from him soon.

We have drained an unbelievable amount. Ditch is only about half full this morning as opposed to the yard being half full.

Our road had water on it in two places yesterday afternoon.

All gone now!

My gps and other systems updated themselves a couple weeks ago - it now gives me 'tropical storm warnings' and flood warnings....coolest thing, lol

Praying for the people in flooded areas.

That's why we keep some dehydrated cheese leftover from my time in Pensacola.

So, do you dehydrate the cheese yourself, or do you buy it freeze dried?

I would love to try drying some of our Mozzarella. But then, my question would be, how do you use it for cooking? Can I grate it and put it in my dehydrator? Then would I rehydrate it before putting it on a pizza, for instance?

I'm so glad your flood waters are going down and that your house didn't flood! We're still praying for @greybeard and all the others who were forced to leave due to flooding! I pray he, his wife and livestock are all safe!

What kind of GPS do you have? That would be so cool, to have tropical storm and flood warnings!

I've dehydrated just about everything else but not cheese. I bought what we have in storage but it tastes pretty good. Not as good as fresh but it works for cooking.
