    Yes indeed. Wife only had to dump the pool twice. From Fort Pierce south to the middle of the Keys was just breazy and a little extra rain. We lucked out.

    It wasn't so good in Kissimmee. About 16" rain and 70 mph winds brought Shingle Creek into a river. It crested about 8" shy of brother in law's pool in the rear and the street out front was 2.5' deep. We were water locked for quite a few days and it finally went down Tuesday morning enough to get our Ram out the driveway and come home to Winter Haven. Minimal damage in our community thank God but we survived yet again.

    Couple construction lowboys passed me and one of them threw a rock into my window and shattered it.

    Lucky it isn’t winter yet. That would have been a cold windy drive.

    Yeah, would have really sucked, breakdown sent me back to Reno to the Volvo dealer there to try and get it replaced. Will see what they say in the morning. Was paranoid the whole way back being no window to stop another rock flying through.
     
    JoeyJunk and JohnBoy Thank this.

    JB, all I have to say about tanker is that I wonder why I waited so long to get into it. I’ll never pull a box again.

    The Volvo dealer across from the Petro? I’ve had work done there over the years and have been in and out the same day. They’re pretty good.
