When weather looked threatening, the same young man was out there buttoning Moby Dick back up.

I'm guessing he was Eddie's son, but not sure. He was good with those tops though.

Default Power Outage

Good job Dennis. Looks like mine . . . except I have more ice cream.

There was one myth about the power outage that didn't pass muster, at least for me. That being that if one didn't open your freezer, it was supposedly good for about 3 days. Well after one day, I decided to grab the Klondike bars and pass them out to the neighbors - problem was, they had already melted. Same with some other ice cream, but not as bad as the Klondikes.

The longevity was amazing and if BFG were sized true then I would have gotten them again (a 35 measured out short). Be sure to check your rating though, as they were bouncy being an E-rated tire.
I'm not sure it was the tires as it was the lift I got from you. That skyjacker lift is bouncy as hell. Of course I am needing shocks.

I dislike short tires. Recommend me a 35x12.50x17 Or hell even a 36" tire. I'm going to chop my flairs so I am really debating 37's but I think that will call for a regear.

That really stinks. I cant believe there are people out there that would take advantage of other people's bad luck.

Spent yesterday helping someone move their furniture out of their home to a storage unit. Their home looks fairly good from the outside, few shingles gone and some rain gutters missing, but the water got into the home and the whole ceiling inside needs replaced as do the wood floors and carpets.
Have a friend that lives in the neighborhood off of 53 that was ravaged, headed there today to help out.

BTW, they just stated there were 312 tornadoes during last wed's storm.

Default Moab Gas Station

We wore this Maverick Gas Station out on our recent trip (it was just a few miles from our condo). Looks like it was a favorite stop for a lot of folks.

i went ahead and ordered a couple of boxes from the online place. They are really cheap online, so no worries. Thanks for the offer though.
