Thanks for all the support and encouragement guys. It just seemed like a monumental task. In my younger years I could have knocked this out in a day. But now days, I have to think how long it should take and then multiply that by 3. Heck, I now have to plan on a simply oil change taking half a day. What is up with that ?

I know what you mean Simon. I use to could Waik the property killing fire ants in 45 minutes. Now it take 45 minutes to ride it in the truck or Mule. But we must push on.

Man O Man I wanted this... it recently went through auction... Estimate was $25k-$37k... I do not know what it went for... but these estimate prices IMO were LOW...

I can't stay long as have more clean up to do AND internet is only running at about 25 %.

Just wanted to let everyone know we are all ok.

On Monday at 11:05 a.m. a storm with straight line winds of 90-100 m.p.h. hit us.

The house pretty much was fine, but the trees in our yard did not.

A large limb fell off the Ash tree and when it came down, it snapped our Evergreen tree off about 25' from the top. Now I have a 20' base still intact, ( maybe carve a Totem pole out of it ? )

The trees came down and missed our vehicles by merely a fraction of an inch. They did completely cover our driveway and we had no way to leave. No chain saws, only a bow saw. Once we got power back, we were able to use a reciprocating saw to cut some branches. I had on my covid mask because the pollen and sawdust was terrible and I thought it would help.......NOT. I nearly passed out twice because I could not breathe through it. So I took it off.

The electric company finally restored electricity to us on Thursday, ( 73 hours and 30 minutes after the storm hit ).

The humidity was so terrible during those 4 days of no electricity that the carpet felt like a sponge. Probably have it replaced.

Cell phones where iffy for the first few days.

We are still currently without cable.

It was not until Wednesday that I found a set of old rabbit ears and hooked them up to the flatscreen tv and we could see how widespread the damage was. Since internet service is still bad, we are unable to view any videos or news broadcasts. Limited to text only.

Contacted the insurance company last Tuesday, still have not seen anyone yet.

That is all for now. Off to be a lumberjack.

I heard about your Derecho storm and all the power outages. I knew you would be awhile before checking in. So, so very glad you and your wife and son and Sneakers, are OK! Pace yourself. Don't over do it. I will keep you all in my prayers!

The reason why Make UP should be forbidden! It causes MASSIVE fraud!

View attachment 1855837 Hey, at least no one can complain becasue she already wears a mask!

I rarely wear the stuff. What you see is what you get.

Although, my husband says, " If the barn needs painted, then paint the barn."

OK, there is supposedly a video of a couple going into a place and the guy is not wearing a mask. He is approached and is told he has to have a mask. So he gives a love pat to his lady and she proceeds to take off her, uh, um.... she provides him with a triangular shaped mask.

As a mild germaphobe, that made me throw up in my mouth a bit.

Colorized photo of my ggreat uncle Jay Troup, (second from right), with his crew and plane. These men and their plane were present and on duty bombing the beaches during D-Day. All would die with the exception of my uncle, in combat.
