FG,
Nice to see you too!

Thanks Dee,
I am a survivor, but then most of us here are.

Thanks Suze!
Yours was nice too! Maybe in person one day here.

Glee,
Thanks! What goes around comes around. I try to keep my karmic balance always in my favor. Besides if we can, we must - moral imperative. I tried to talk our company owner out of it due to reports of shootings. He is a fist fighting country boy and woefully untrained in disaster preparedness. So when I could not talk him out of it I made up our supplies and defense lists as well as bringing the chain saws and crowbars to breach walls and doors which we needed several times. So I was not the originator just was taking care of the enthusiastic but untrained young folks.

Hi EN!

Thanks Mags.

Thanks Wolf,
Also Hi bye hi bye good morning and good night Wolf!

FBL,
I missed the pic of dad and read all that with the creature from the black lagoon as your avatar. I assume that was not a pic of your dad. Glad you remember his B day and sober anniversaries as well. I remember my mom's and my younger brother's both in June.

Drake. welcome back to the sober side.

Carlos I hope your trifecta is realized, good to see you too!

Andy! Long time no see. Andy are you feeling deprived or threatened by alcohol? You hang in there and here. We gotcha.

Toots,
Ahh a vacay home. Kewl!

Sassy,
Why Thank you! So were the other 4 guys that went down with us, only two of us armed, one in each boat.

RZ,
Sergeant at arms not Captain. I was not an officer, my parents were married making me ineligible.

Thanks Star,
I love watching the better handling of this flood. We are not needed because they are allowing all to bring boats and help. They road blocked all of us from going and had we not had our own guns for protection and my military retired ID and enough supplies they would have turned us away. There were only our two boats and one pother doing the whole of Airline Hwy and from the Causeway to the un-flooded downtown N'awlins, ands from Tulane Avenue to Canal Street and all the streets in between. The police and others did not start coming in until our third day there.
This one they are allowing all to go down, no deaths from just stranding which there were after Katrina.

Ironman Wolf -

IP,
Great concert story! you deserved that fun and a break.

Hi Dharma!

Sassy,
Party was fun for you and that is nice to hear.

Hi Far!

OK guys I am running and between appointments and improvements and stupidvising contractors - been busy. Had our 4K large TV wall mounted and all wires in the wall with new outlets hidden, put the floating AV cabinet under it with the soundbar and Sub. Getting a new Office chair for my desk as this one is five years old and shows it. I got one but need to return it as it is canted back too far and causes pain after an hour. Put up a driveway motion sensor and remote alarm that tells us when someone is coming down the drive. I need to build it a weather and wind enclosure to eliminate the last of the false alarms. Thank goodness for user reviews and other DIY folks who post pics too.

Have a great remainder of the week and weekend folks! Don't do anything I wouldn't do, and remember I have kids!
