DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

[londontime]

On a lighter note.
Yesterday was Dad's 88th birthday and while the hearing might not be so good, the ol' man is still all there and we had a good time taking him out for dinner.
My kids surprised him when we got him back home and shared some cake too.
All in all, a pretty enjoyable evening.

Very nice.

Morning everyone from a sunny Westfield NB. We are in flood preparation mode here, river is supposed to Crest 1.1meters(4ft) above flood levels by the end of the week.Rain in the forecast for the next four days. Not good for people in or near flood zones

But it would give the info that the French army supplies sunscreen. So their troops armpits don’t get sunburn.

(This could run all week)

Same for Fredericton, suppose to be at 7.6 meters by Sunday, that's about the same amount over flood level. What is scary is that it will go from 6.3 meters to 7.6 in 24 hours.

I follow her on Instagram and she post videos of her swimming with the sharks every now and then. She seems to like her job and living in Hawaii.

Good to hear. I don't do IG, but if I did... how would I follow her? Sorry, total nube, there.

Nice sounds like a good time was had by all

Our company is supplying free sand for sand bags for people in GBW, hopefully it is not as bad as last year.

I walked the Signal Hill Trail in St. John's, Newfoundland. It's not a long trail, but it starts and ends with a sizeable cliff. You'll see from the pictures that it wasn't particularly warm, but there is a rugged beauty to this part of the world.

Thanks for the photos! Looks like a neat hike.

And lastly, for those intellectuals in the room, your history lesson for today.

There are intellectuals here?

I like the fact that the sign about the French defeat is translated into French. Feels like an extra kick in the teeth. "Hey, here's how you guys lost..."

i was reading the sign. "The French were compelled to surrender"....there's a phrase you don't hear much (cough)

The British probably gave them an angry stare

Change this to "driver's license" and "engineering degree" and you have my career summed up. Doesn't stop anyone, though.

Last year was crazy, once in a lifetime. But then again, they said that in 2008.

Be safe guys, thoughts are with you.

Be safe guys, thoughts are with you.

I live on top of a dormant volcano so I'm in a safe spot. The only real inconvenience for me is when the ramps flood on the bridge I use to cross the river to get to my office.

 

[Zmack]

I'm safe we 150ft above the river, my only drawback will be working alot of 18 hour shifts if it gets bad

Now that's just funny, I don't care who you are. (Well except maybe French)

Sorry about the flooding guys. Stay safe.

 

[jtjohnson]

I feel for you guys with the flooding. We've had flooding since the beginning of March.

Yuck. Hope it's not as bad as feared.

I remember the photos you posted from that one bridge. Crazy.

It has been revised upwards, now at 8.1 meters on Monday. That is near the level from last year but the problem last year was that it went to that level and stayed for almost 2 weeks. Flooding here is usually more short term as the river empties into the Bay of Fundy. Hopefully this year the level won't stay up for long.

This is what is forecast today for Fredericton

That's kinda along the lines of what I was thinking/wondering. I was thinking with your close proximity to the ocean, the water should flow out to the ocean quite a bit more than cause flooding.

The Saint John River(418 miles long) and Kennebecasis River(59 miles) join in Grand Bay, then flow out to the Bay of Fundy through a narrow gorge.Together they drain about 22000 sq miles of land. There is only so much water that will pass through, so it acts some what like a dam. Then when the Bay of Fundy tide is at it's high tide, it is 14 1/2 feet higher than the river, this backs the water up the river. When the tide is high the water backs up the river over 55 miles , just above where Darcy lives. So add in the spring melt and rains, witch increase the flow about six times, it just backs up.
