Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Is the gas tank outside? I don't know about having a propane tank in the house.

@ilovetotravel1977 the wine tasting tickets are up on the Airmiles site. I just ordered 2 for Friday night for you. Sorry got all excited when I saw Friday, they are for 1:00pm. Maybe your parents can use them. Let me know if you would like them.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Yes thank you!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I wonder if they didn't have the evening tickets this time. Or did they get all scooped up already. Seems weird that they only have the Friday at 1pm show.

Yes, in the shed.

Well, looks like Dorian is coming for us in Nova Scotia (me in Halifax)! Got my storm wine, no chips this time. Trying to keep it together LOL

I remember when Hurricane Juan's Category 2 hit us. This has the possibility of the same impacts as I believe wind speeds are just under the Category 2 level for us. Going to be a busy evening getting everything into the shed / house and securing the BBQ, the dang green bin, etc.

Wish us Maritimers good luck!

I'm in Lower Sackville myself, and the winds are starting to pick up. There's a for sale sign on the next door neighbour's lawn that I'm going to take down and put under his deck, it's just upwind of my car and I can forsee it slamming into the passenger side of my car. No one is living in the house right now so if the real estate agent didn't come for it I guess I'll deal with it myself. Otherwise it looks like the rest of the neighbourhood is reasonable secure right now. I hope we get a bit of pixie dust over the next 24 hours

@Tinkershelly stay safe today / tonight! I am in Clayton Park and the wind is blowing now with some good gusts. Hard to imagine it’s going to get 3x times worse by tonight!

According to the offer on the website it looks like they had afternoon and evening Friday and Saturday. I didn't check yesterday to see if there were any offers available I just noticed it when I checked this morning. If you need more tickets I can get 2 others. Please PM me your address and I will get them off to you as soon as they arrive.

Stay safe this weekend.

I do and don't want to go shopping...
In other news, I finally logged into the Rewarding My Opinion survey site and am slowly working through the available surveys... 1 or 2 AM here and there is nothing to sniff at... I did it for years and it got us to WDW!

I was out with DD yesterday-she's finally getting her license, so I need to give her some time to practise- and I commented a couple of times on the changing colours. Sigh. Colour ME not happy!

All our eastern friends are hunkered down now, waiting for the storm to blow through! Hope you all manage to come out the other side unscathed and reasonably dry. Hope the wine didn't run out before the stores re-opened as well

Never mind the forest, it’s happening on my street! DH and I were just talking about how the leaves are starting to fall off my neighbour’s trees. And we do not live “up north”. Way too soon...

Not Air miles related, but Indigo gift cards are all 15% off at Real Canadian Superstore until Sept11th. Picked up a few for future gifts.

 

[marcyleecorgan]

Good luck and fair weather to all in the path of the storm!

OT way to go Bianca Andreesucu. #She the north

Just popping in to say that my fam is doing well, lost power around 3:30pm which was good compared to most.

I’ve read the storm has been downgraded to a post tropical cyclone with hurricane force winds.

There are lots of big oak trees uprooted around the city, and a construction crane crashed into the building it was work on.

Waterfront is flooded, of course.

@Tinkershelly how are you doing?
