Hey Joel

[whiskers_ump]

OK,

I am back. Elec came back 7:00 am today.

Three trees down, nothing major to the new house. Had to replace two
sheets of the metal roofing, and a piece of my fireplace chimmey.

Got almost all the trees in front cleaned up, so things picking up.

MRE's have improved since I was in the military.

Hope everyone else got through IKE OK.

Good to hear you made it through better than the last time.

I guess you are now gonna use those three trees and build another room?

Hope all get back to normal soon.

MRE's? What about C-Rats?

Glad you're OK!

Thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers from everyone..........!!!!!

My mother got back power this afternoon............a little over 7-1/2 days after she lost it. It will be another week or two for me as I lost my service drop from a big pecan limb falling down. Single point connections are always the last to be reconnected. Luckily........no damage to my meter, service can, weather head....etc......

I have cleaned up about 95% of my mom's place and about 80% of mine.

I did get everything out of both refrigerators and freezers before they got bad.

My oldest two daughters live on the north side of Houston and fared well even though they rode out the storm with their Mom at her mothers house here in Texas City.

Unfortunately.............all the structures outside of our levee system inside TC were destroyed...........but our levee did a good job and there was very little flooding within it.

My house is at 6.5 feet above sea level and my mothers is at 7.2. with our pumps and the levee (22 feet), we were very fortunate.

Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers and thank you Glen for starting this thread. It has been a rough week..........but there are other people out there in our area that have it worse.

Thanks to all...............

Joel

Glad everything worked out Joel. Got 90% of my trees cleaned up and 80% of
the other mess blown around.

Same thing, much improved, each package has a self heating unit to heat the
main course. High proteen stuff to keep the troops going.

No free cigarettes in these though.
