Yeah, it ain't got nothin' to do with motorcyclin', but I am pretty bored here so I thought you might enjoy some pix of Corpus Christi bay I just shot from my balcony in between the bands of rain:

Nah, its SUPPOSED to go due west after landfall near Brownsville. We're not supposed to get more than 50 or 60 mph winds, or I would have bugged-out yesterday.
Some more shot thru the bedroom windows (now that it has started pouring again):

I think a bicycle with a trashbag tied to it would be a more stable structure than my condo. They are very cool and in a great spot, but I have no idea how they have lasted this long!

So Jimmy, any structural damage yet?  You've got to be a little soggy by now?

My Sis-in-law calls me from Seatlle...the local news up there says Corpus has been washed away and is now the new Atlantis.....you've got to be kidding me right?  Anything to sell ad space, I guess....

Drink more wine....works for me

Ha-ha, hadn't been outside yet to see what the building looks like, but it's STILL storming a lot harder than when I took those pix. I live on Ocean Dr. right by the water, but most of the city is up on a 10'-20' bluff and we're inside the barrier island, so we tend to escape the surge damage they may be getting out on the Island. Hopefully it will be dying down soon and I can take my Jeep out there and see what's what. Hope to be in Austin next Wed. to see ya'll at Ming's...

They say it got pretty messed up down there, and i have some friends that live on South Padre that haven't texted back yet :/ So we'll see how it turns out, my cams w/ me.

Don't you just hate the "cleanup" ?   Get the dumpster, the real big dumpster...........
