Unfortunate damage, but you're still able to be here to tell the tale.................good on you..Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

No garden for me so far this year. Rain was plentiful, lots of early gardeners got heart broke this spring. I might pick up some plants after this big blow comes past, after it beats up Carolinas..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Glad to hear it missed you Shine! I have a friend in Durango Co and he sent me pics yesterday of the snow and he wasn't thrilled. I have some co-workers that live in OKC and those guys keep getting the nasty stuff. 8" or fain in a few hours and more tornados, poor folks.Ryan

the house on the cliff that was abandoned and burned last year fell into the lake . they burned it so no debris would fall into the lake . nothing left but the slab. no a huge chunk of the cliff fell in from all the rain i guess. big sinkhole in granbury . crazy weather .

good friend in morrison co was shoveling snow this weekend .
sadly we lost some folks this time . people need to get into the cellar in these storms .
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
