I wanted to get a bit more exercise this morning, so rucked the coastal preserve. It takes a bit of effort wearing a ruck with weight along with a 60lb sandbag on my shoulders on a windy Forrest trail. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #hiking #rucking #ruck #nps #nationalpark #CapeHatterasNationalSeashore

It's interesting to look at the beach after a series of winter storms carving a scarp into the dunes. The south side of the point shows geology and biology at work together. You can see how important beach grass is to the sustainability of the dunes with their roots to hold the dune together. A Northeast wind with air temp in the mid-40s. #obx #outerbanks #theouterbanks #hatterasisland #barrierisland #geology #coastalgeomorphology #beach #beaches

Gotta love it, NOAA doesnt sensationalize winter storms enough, so the Weather Channel has to name storms. The blow we just got I guess was named Loraine. I am afraid that the state of meteorology is going to get us into trouble in the future. For the last few years, we have been getting fed "biggest season of the year" for the last 4 hurricane seasons to a point where we are just numb and it is hard to trust what you hear from the media any longer. As the weather media keeps crying wolf, eventually, everyone will stop listening and people will get hurt.

Wind shifted a bit earlier from the west. Have about a foot of water in the non bulkheaded areas of the backyard. There is a reason we had an elevated walkway put in. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #soundside #weather #storm https://image.nostr.build/88ad7d44f85a24117abb4428ab4509b40214c0e1c5d48049dc2814efcd7d2fe7.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x933&blurhash=ZDD9u69Zi%5EIUtRoJ9FRiM%7ByCaJWYWB%25MWXM%7BofRj-%3BIUWBj%3FofM%7BRjogV%40%7EqNGRjRjofoJIVj%5BV%40&x=4a66422314cba15eeeff393437f5f59f69eac395d362afa68f3abe4aa128c1e4

After a wind sheltered walk in the woods I stopped and checked first jetty. Wind coming strong out of the Southwest at a consistent 15 mile an hour with gusts a bit heavier. We will see a peak sometime this morning after 9:00. The south wind is bringing so much moisture in that you can't even see the lighthouse that is only a few hundred yards away. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #sunrise #outerbanks #theouterbanks #hatteras #storms #weather #wx #wxobx #wxnc #obxwx

First round of seeds planted and in the nursery. 180 pepper plants (Reapers, Ghost Jalapeños, Chiltepin, PiriPiri, Thai) as well as carrots, radishes, tomatoes, squash, and eggplant. Will do another round of seeds next weekend. Of course, planning my garden for a summer that is supposed to have some tropical storms. The last 4 summers have been very mild for storms. #seedlings #gardening #hotpepper #hotpeppers #carolinareapers #ghostpepper #bhutjolkia #garden #homestead #homesteading https://image.nostr.build/eb0f62158b3816546ce2874292c2fe9cd1288435cc4801e287abb4dec3da86eb.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x933&blurhash=ZoHBYiM%7CNGWBWBj%40WCWVWV%7EVNGRkWCWBoej%5BfkWCt6WBa%23j%5Bayj%5Bj%5Ba%7CWVM%7CR*WCj%5Bj%5BoLoLayaz&x=41b886fff1b27625075b3db30e55657a9f527ea29b61ba1dd1ca5b0da1976fc2 https://image.nostr.build/4f728ea657e5829a629fece3065d58ba585d05664d59f1cbf49fe2e2afefa095.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x565&blurhash=iBF5y%2C%3FD01Ip9Gt7t6t6xt%7EqoIIVRkIoofofs%3As%3A00Iq-oWAxZt7WBj%5BkB-pofoeRjj%3Dt7Rkoeofxut5s%3ARkM%7CWCa%23s%3Aof&x=3208f7ce8953e437dbf2f46c30a4c805f2e90837064506e7f54184c3038872bb

After my exercise this morning, I figured that I would check out the state of the beach in north Buxton. All the beach replenishment sand has moved on down the beach. The hotels are as exposed, if not more exposed than before the sand pumping. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #sunrise #outerbanks #theouterbanks #beach #storms #weather #nationalparks

We're right now probably approaching the biggest part of the storm. Too windy to walk on the beach so I trucked in the Buxton Woods. Even in the shelter of the trees I was registering at least 5 miles an hour wind out of the North. I then wanted to check out first jetty, wind heavy out of the North minimum in the 20 mile an hour Zone if not 30 and above. It looks like all of the fencing set up in Avon and North Buxton, to trap sand on the beach, is now around the jetty. So much for Beach replenishment. The weather station that is highlighted is from the woods. the one that is darker is the one from the beach. #obx #outerbanks #capehatteras #storms #weather #theouterbanks #hatterasisland

Did a few miles ruck first in the Buxton Woods. No wind and temperature in the low 50s. Then decided to check out first Jetty to see how the storm is starting off. There were gusts that I saw just over 30 miles an hour but hard to capture on a handheld weather station. But I did get just over 25 miles an hour from the north captured. Air temp on the beach is in the mid 40s. The surf is a mess #outerbanks #theouterbanks #obx #hatteras #hatterasisland #nature #photography #surf

My last crop of hot peppers just came out of the fermenter. Gonna be a crazy mix of hot hell. Blended, sent through the food mill. Will dehydrate the pulp and grind to a fine powder. Will add only a small amount of vinegar since the fermentation made it's own. Thinking of adding maple syrup and a bit of rum to finish the sauce #fermentation #fermentedfoods #preserving #prepping #urbanhomestead #fermenting #hotpeppers #carolinareapers #ghostpepper #bhutjolkia https://image.nostr.build/1dd5f711cbbf5937e6c0a3572d875c262530ecb6eafdd9ef4c73387cea5c9156.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1080&blurhash=U2ICc.013r0z3d1T%7E1i%2B02%5Df%3DpM%3A%3AkrD.%3DFo&x=45642894951220acc447b1098db5d8368fe82ac4e59d61b6635e8e1b77e46bae https://image.nostr.build/1dd5f711cbbf5937e6c0a3572d875c262530ecb6eafdd9ef4c73387cea5c9156.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1080&blurhash=U2ICc.013r0z3d1T%7E1i%2B02%5Df%3DpM%3A%3AkrD.%3DFo&x=45642894951220acc447b1098db5d8368fe82ac4e59d61b6635e8e1b77e46bae https://image.nostr.build/0060b4b24bf154410f13877d94facbe2ddca99f3368715b43e80ced6fbc6378b.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1080&blurhash=UXKceJxuJ7of0LWAs%3Bj%5D_Noyn%24a%7DE1slR.WC&x=60ea4988beba96491772d90c0f71ff06aa88a20be6bffe48c7f774d200d8741e https://image.nostr.build/c95d9fd1d31a4c4f13b7f3455e26712219f7e64b66ba3c57a58f9c888de9b2fd.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1080&blurhash=UiHxQptSKOj%40%7EVxto%7Dj%5BXRadwca%23NIafRPfk&x=3dedc06bd75151b9e0f74da34e6b5f482615467bda60e4260ebed7ee693e62a7 https://image.nostr.build/f0d68251c8dda21aaacee4c9d1cbda68216ad3c25f0081443ff75b06a5069d0b.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1080&blurhash=UCHn%24%3Bloys%2Bu%25M8%7B-%3A-%3BC8-Vm%2CNbMcawNHtR&x=3642744a4dee40d96d3385eeff7785e21d5f7f93fbe8fe1f4fe6c12f1a15ebde https://image.nostr.build/9f5b9aca0985aa8aec60a0adc1930062fa5e3faec25adce8262eda87b698a3fc.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1080&blurhash=UBJZPYAE5%3AX9%2Bu%252xaRj0qn4r%3Dni%7D%40T0o%7Day&x=17cef5593f4bf4326d6b6991248ad34965f06772aa66b69c72c06668a925f742

Temperature in the low 50s back in Buxton Woods. I don't think we have to worry too much about sneks. Hard to tell which way the wind is blowing back here. I think it's about time to add more sand to my sandbag that I carry when hiking. https://image.nostr.build/1a47b5087116502ed799b817b5847c72b488328e3dfdd45f0050dffca8126aa6.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x565&blurhash=iKDcR8%7EqO9%25M%25NbJRkRkbcR%2BM%7BIoRjWBafoMoMayt6s.n%24V%40WAWBt7t7f5ozWXayoeofkBWBayaztRt8t7oft7t7axayof&x=dfd4ff0972e46b0f0b7c2af7241ee9ec9a0a68593644345954a35b41330f6be0 https://image.nostr.build/052ccb71dde22d7112152637ff8c7ac913ec69f55033843194361fe2aac0ce4a.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x565&blurhash=i9D96m%7EC0_J%24%23UwfE19ZWB0eEK%3DyaKX8bc%252-paex%5Ex%5D%7D%5D%3D%7C569sV%40RijY%5E6nO0y9%40%5E7%3DyX6f%2BX8JSNG%3D%7C-pJ6I.RjNFe.&x=02b8fcb900c51494176ff35c214553b733a020e45d7acc7d4af0ab283d3841af https://image.nostr.build/70d828e4b0cb2678bc3963147483f9442bde797bff2d94b0083caed627025e42.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x565&blurhash=iRBNTR_N%25gx%5DxuoyWBV%40Rj%3Fv-%3B%25Mxuofj%5BayafWBShWEaeV%5BRjWBj%5BofoyWCRkRjRkRkWBkBofofozoeoJoLayaxfQj%5Bfk&x=83e7ee4dded408e2fb3dd693bd18a688e74bbdac719ec45746fdefc7748012c8 https://image.nostr.build/2f25bdd8eb80087d9c2379c2927c0101e70a0c27181a6ca9aeff2867b41417fe.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x565&blurhash=iCIrEJMxNbM%7B%3FvM%7Bs%3Ax%5DD%2500WU-pt7t7ofof%25MWB4.%25N-pay8_xuj%5BV%40ax%7Eq%25M4nxuWBjsRjM%7BxuIAn%25IUWASgV%40WBM_xu&x=c299a817ba06e8c3dcd6263f0fcb9a7613a8c8343aac105167c753312a9ef814 #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #nature #capehatterasnationalseashore #theouterbanks #hatteras #rucking #outerbanks

A younger me would be out there with no hesitation. Waves aren't huge but breaking right on The Sandbar. Would be interesting on a longboard but much more suited for a short board. Air temp in the mid to upper 40s wind out of the West. I'm sure a lot of the surf crew will get a few good waves this morning.
