Due to the bad weather in Tampa...

I'm going to be offline all of Friday, and maybe longer depending on how bad things get here. Thus networks may not be reviewed this weekend if the power is knocked out.

I thought of you as we fought the maniacs in Home Depot today... funny the things we try to save. I was thinking of putting my horses in the garage and letting Charlie take a run at my truck. Very Happy

Good Luck to you Jason and be safe!

I think everything will be okay - the only problem is that I have an uninsured RV sitting here.. The insurance lapsed and I wasn't in a hurry because the RV just sits on a lot. Given the hurricane's path, I'd take it out and drive east towards Orlando, but with so many gas stations out of fuel, I can't run the risk of being out of gas on the side of the road (It only has 1/4th tank of gas, and this runs at 6mpg).

So the RV is going to be sitting here in the open, while I camp out in my office one mile down the road.

I have my video camera with me, so I'm going to see if I can record any footage as the hurricane blows past.

As long as the power doesn't fail, I should have internet access.

Good luck to everyone in the area... be safe.

I like the weather reports:

Today: Periods of rain and possibly a thunderstorm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Chance of precipitation is 100%

Nice RX8 there jason Very Happy

looks like it's missing us completely.

The ironic thing is, my neighbors left for orlando/daytona, and the storm is going to be following them up that way.

yep... completely missed me.

In fact, it only lightly rained. No strong winds or anything.

Well, same thing again for this weekend. This time the hurricane looks like it's heading straight for me. So it's unlikely the network additions will be made this weekend.
