Glad to hear everyone is OK. Cannot say the same thing for the Toyota. At least it was an import. 1 down and 10 million to go.

Just super muggy and hot weather Woof, usually the crazier part of it begins
when it rums smack bang into the Atlantic coast picking up more energy.


Conditions are ripe again with severe weather forecast from 4.00pm
today.

Is there any truth I wonder with the old saying "lightening never strikes the
same place twice ?

Also - my old small brown garage has been totaled by the insurance and
a pressure washer small yard trailer and a percentage of the GL 1000
included

Wow Sprock, sorry ...just checking in now - busy with the moving thing. Silver lining with the fire wood topic. So glad the family dodged that bullet. ..It may have been a way to get that single floor ranch home we talked about though. Careful with the chain saw now.

All pine wood CB2CBR - gave it to my neighbor as he has a Pacific Energy Stove that
is good at burning that crappy resin laden soft pine wood. I only ever burn hard wood oak, maple etc

Have a new building all picked out. Have a rental excavator coming tomorrow and will
have fun with it pulling the stumps and demoing the old garage into matchsticks

Here's what the new one will look like only on a new slab without a ramp and the doors
are actually rollup overheads made to look like std doors
