You know, Eddie. My daughter saw this picture, and asked if you were a Prison inmate. I said "No Honey, he used to be a inmate gaurd." She said, "He's kind of ruff looking". I told her that's part of the job. Then, she said," Dad, your kind of ruff looking too. Do old tree's do the same thing to you, as what the inmate's did to ED. I said, "Yep." As you can see in the Pic's, I've got it a lot easier now, especially, with a 70' lift. :wink: My climbing hook's are getting rusty. :D I'm not sure if I've posted any Pic"s of myself upclose. Here's one of me with my heart's Desire!

Man Pat you are big man!!You would be perfect for the Bureau of Prisons, not as an inmate mind you. :mrgreen: That job of yours is very very dangerous. Be careful! Tell your daughter thanks for the compliment. Most people 'peg' me as janitor or or peeping tom. :thumbsup: :biggrin:

We have been recieving unusually heavy amounts of rain lately. When I awoke around 6:00 AM this morn. this is what I observed. All the homes in my neighborhood are under at least 5 ft. of water except for 4 homes that are on a high area of ground, mine included. Thanks God, cause the gentleman down the street 4 homes to the south of my home suffered greatly. His 1970 LS-6 454 Chevelle SS is under water and has reached his roofline. I dont know what I would do if I lost my R/T. I drove my 4x4 Dodge PowerWagon to get these pics on the roads, but the Highway Patrol has issued an NO travel order and will arrest you for non-compliance. My wife is at work and cant get home. My father is almost 90 and is byhimself so I may have to disregard those orders. Wish me luck.

90% chance of rain today. If you blow this pic up you can barely see the Chevelle parked behind his Monte Carlo.

Thanks Drew. Yes, as a matter of fact I am getting ready to perform a LM-1 tune on my carbs. So a few days ago I put the Challenger up on Jackstands. I thought about a mad dash to higher ground but there is NO WAY, the roads have stranded cars littered all over the place. Looks like I'm in for the duration.

The only other way out. We have had 6.83",(inches) of rain amount in the last 12 hours. I need to get some Water. I'm standing drinking a cup of boiling hot Tea!(E.G. of course), but my dogs need some too. They take theirs with a bit of Lemon! :lol:

Yeah Drew, I feel VERY fortunate. It could have gone the other way thats for sure! I feel guilty tuning my R/T when the folks just a few feet away are miserable. I gave them a couple gallons of fuel to use their 4 wheelers,(ATV's), and offered my 'services' to the single women! :mrgreen: I think this is high enough dont you? 6"

The 'Govna' declared our county a disaster area. The homes a few feet away are a total loss. Their septics ,(Raw Sewage), has filled their homes with raw sewage. Their 'crawl spaces' are filled with water. Vehicles in water up to the roofline. Bummer! :(
