My TX clients Jason, Tony, Barrett, and Jeff put on a fishing clinic in Pensacola Bay yesterday - a limit of Red Snappers, with many more released, and 12 Bull Redfish, all released safely. Fun times with good friends!

Post Isaias coffee reflections part VIII, the epilogue. Having power in the morning changes my process. Hoping this is not just another teaser. Meinl makes drumsticks. Who knew? Thanks for so many friends having reached out during the aftermath. Let's not wait for the next disaster to stay in contact. Bamboo is vindictive. Witnessing the magic of seven Nashville studio greats in a small venue last night was uplifting. Pretty sure they had as much fun as we did. Muck has a distinctly unpleasant odor. Still puzzled by interstate tailgaters, especially in wet conditions. They don't know what I know. Fried shrimp are pretty tasty. FP&L has excellent field people. Not so sure about their bosses. 30-35 kts NNE this morning. Seems fitting. Embrace your values. Lead through your actions. Help others. Make a difference. And remember to vote. That's all for now.

Post Isaias coffee reflections, part VII. Today would have been my Dad's 109th birthday. I think of him often and miss his leadership. Penny and I had a teaser last night; a small taste of normalcy. Now we know Freddie Kilowatt truly is a vagabond. Musicians who survived playing with tyrannical band leaders enjoy reminiscing, complete with outbursts of laughter. It wasn't so funny at the time. Nan Harper was the coolest teacher at GBJHS. AI theory is beyond me, but I believe mechanical devices have personalities. I catch myself counseling them often. I'm a decent typist. Ray Tyson is the funkiest guitarist in the Carolinas. Statistical entropy is a factor in storm recovery and life in general. Walmart's front-wall restroom placement is an excellent marketing strategy. My math theory is 3=2, 2=1, and 1=0. I can prove this. People interpret time-of-day differently. They make these things called clocks. In standard notation, rests and notes deserve the same degree of attention and respect. Good drummers know this. My Spanish language skills are rusty, y necesito practicar mas. I'm developing feelings for my Generac. Pretty sure it's a guy thing. To all affected by this storm and its aftermath - stay the course, sailors. To all of us - be thankful, courteous, and make a difference today. God bless Florida and the USA.

Post Isaias coffee reflections, part VI. Tornados and Sting Jets share an eerie low frequency rumbling. Michael Omartian is an amazingly creative and subtle pianist. Starlink is a blessing. Closed longleaf pine cones doing 120 can leave a mark. Mosquitos are quite the happy insects right now. The incredible Dogs of Peace only made two records, both great. My boat looks better when it's not supporting a collapsed shed. Every household needs a hammer drill. A drunk chick shaking your tambourine makes it challenging to stay in the pocket. A fallen large longleaf pine can crush your camper. I know this. A can of Cutters insect repellant makes a sweaty lineman smile. The quarter note hihat groove on the first verse of Hey 19 is hard to play perfectly without a click. It's easier playing eighths but that's just wrong. Schools of bull reds showed up on the surface in Santa Rosa Sound yesterday. Yowza. Cleanup after a windstorm has multiple layers. People are basically good, emphasis on the basically. I want to hear a drag sing very soon. Power promised by noon today. Power? We don't need no stinkin' power. Make a difference today. Even a small one. Florida Strong!

Post Isaias coffee reflections, part V. Early morning Loves runs to fill gas cans are peaceful. Their lights sure are bright. I hear about this awesome cold plunge activity often. On the fifth day without power I'm wondering if its really my thing. A major/minor 6th chord expresses tension better than words. Penny's cats Josie and Peg have the life. My friend and Nashville great John Hammond is subbing for a JT/CK tribute Friday in Foley. Penny and I are excited to see/hear his mile-wide pocket again. A skid/steer is impressive in every way. FPL's power-out app lies to us every day. We know this and appreciate their efforts to raise our spirits, but I prefer the truth. My boat sure looks funny with a shed impaled on the tower. Life is precious. We march on. Spread the love and make a difference.

Post Isaias coffee reflections, part IV. Coffee with open windows and the low hum of generators has become my morning norm. It's soothing in its own way. I am thankful for 65 degree evenings. Farm Bureau Insurance is a responsive and thorough insurer. I struggle with why people drive lickety-split on debris-littered roads. Rick Marotta's tasty hihat technique on Peg makes a great song even greater. People in Publix stores during storm recovery are almost as entertaining as folks launching boats on a Saturday morning. I enjoy launching my boat and miss that process right now. Looting is generally a poor choice in Florida, especially if you want to continue having birthdays. The wind always veers into in my face when I'm using my Stihl backpack blower. I've always wondered how our cul-de-sac produces little white pebbles by the gross. Penny and I are blessed and thankful. Stand tall and power through this, my fellow Floridians! Let me know how I can help.

Post-Isaias coffee reflections, part III. A Nespresso machine makes the best coffee, all things considered. The closer people get to an open gas station after a storm, the more they reveal their true characters. Some become increasingly more courteous and thankful, others, well... you can guess. A chainsaw becomes a blunt instrument after the blade spins on concrete/pavement. Home Depot cannot stock enough chainsaw blades. Panera soups are pretty good, especially when you add a handful of crushed corn chips. Drinking a gallon of water a day is a good idea. Bernard Purdie's work on The Royal Scam is particularly impressive. I appreciate dry, air conditioned air. I don't have any dry, air conditioned air. Whatever a Sting Jet is, I hope I never witness another. Grace is a blessing. So is my portable generator. Stand Strong, People!

Post-Isaias coffee reflections, Part II. I can't dance, unless I have a chainsaw in my hands. Then I morph into John Travolta. Direct sunlight into a house after having removed Fabric Shield window and door coverings is a wonderful thing. 65 degrees in the predawn morning is refreshing. A "shower" with cold water dripping from the shower head is far superior to rinsing off in brackish bay water. I prefer the sounds of chirping birds and jumping fish over generators, chainsaws, and heavy equipment. But the later is soothing in its own way. My neighbors, varied and few, are awesome. I can take a nap in the middle of chaos. That's all for now. Oops, one more: Celebrex is your friend. Carry on, people. 😎

After an interesting evening, it's hard to beat a good cup of coffee. The generator is working hard and our damage assessment is about to begin. Unfortunately we had a renegade tornado swing through the culdesac mid-storm which left some pretty significant scars, but Penny and I are OK and feeling blessed. Many thanks to so many friends who stayed in touch throughout and helped keep our spirits high! I could feel the prayers and love. Today's a new day. It's 65 degrees outside and calm. We are Florida Strong!

My TN clients Alex and his Dad Robert caught a nice box of Red Snappers and a 19" to the fork Piranha today. Umm Triggerfish I mean. Look at the lips on that beast!
