Wow what a night…

Good morning…. Man there was a rain and lightning storm last night.  Power went out, the shop pavement was under water, My wipers were on hi trying to get home and I still had to crawl along.  Dang, where did THAT come from.  Brian said as the lightning moved through it was like ground vibrations from Jurasic Park!  Beautiful blue sky this morning and Lake Co-op (the retention pond next to Kevin’s cocoon is receeding so we will be able to work.  Shirley’s office leaked and took out the APC… crap.  The main frame got wet, I’m up on the other end of the building though.

Hey but we’re here, everyone made it through alive, James and Catalina had to hit a Motel, we’re in the middle of working on their coach so they are up on the lift… not a good place to be in Central Florida… the lightning capital of the US on a night like that!

Yes I know… it’s hurricane season but something coming up like that was unique.  I’m filling up our motohome fuel tanks tomorrow and station one at the house and 1 at the shop.  A decade ago when hurricane Charlie kissed us I used my motorhome as a lifeline of power for 3 houses.  See that… another great reason to have a motorhome, you have a portable shelter AND you can leave the building with Elvis if you need to!

Gotta load up some pics right now… yeah, no way around that… I’ll try and post  some more stuff later.  Talk to ya then…

Holy Crap…. I can be the man from U.N.C.L.E now!  James just showed me “stats” from the site and I see we have @ 500 of you watchingbefore 10AM…..  So hi to the morning group!  I tell ya guys, this brave new world out there is coming to meet us….  Be back later…
