Cool Hello from sunny South Florida...

WOW this rots....
It seems we got Hammered from Hurricane WILMA....no power; no world series; no lights; no gas stations.....SO...
It's a good thing I had about 10 gallons of Sushi Yama UCO...pre filtered and ready to go...Unfortunatly there's no way I'm waiting on a 4 hour gas line , so I had to mix it with some Diesel I had in the fuel tank. Love these old cars!!!!
We have been camping it as far as food cooking on the barB Q grill.
Oh, this connection is courtesy of a mobile bus called Technology Train that is parked in a shopping center nearby...Free satalilite internet in an Air conditioned bus. Has 10 Dell workstations....
Damage; was just water through the windows and will need a new driveway due to a large tree falling over ; roots pulled up driveway. If it fell the other way my MB would've been crushed.....
Oh well hope all is well by Y'all and gonna try for some Chineese takeout tonite....Never know when power comes back on; anywhere from ? to a month.....peace out.....

Well glad the tree didn't fall on your house....it could have been far worse.

Sounds like a real mess but hey you've got a flexible fuel ride for emergencies and and an indefinite outdoor party.

That must be one huge tree.

Who is footing the bill for the "Technology Train"?

Hope you get things squared aaway there soon.
At least it's cooled down some. Could you imagine this being August?
Gotta look on the bright side.
