    This really should be it. This one is real late. Y'all will be fine mid-state. I am sure we'll be alright too, just sucks. I HATE untarping and unchaining in rain. Wet tarps stink.

    Not only that but if it gets rough in a snowstorm you wait for it to blow over, and it won't blow you away. Delivering these engines to Miami is because a plane is down somewhere waiting for them. Sure, since 2 are going to Columbia it is probably some drug lord, but they have to catch their plane so other planes can move, and they need them now.

    Not too many hurricanes this late in the season though.

    Jess, we thought of checking it out (Big D) but opted to play it safe and head to the TA. And who really WANTS to go to cali other than to see people? Lol

    Had a deer commit "suicide by truck" tonight. Ya wanna come and get it 1Bad? Its on I 70, in Illinois. Can't believe the only damage that I can see, in the dark anyway, is a partially broken grill.

    Pan, deer has to be killed by running into a bullet to be worth gutting, otherwise it loses flavor. Lol I am glad it only messed up your grill, and didn't jump thru the windshield like that one in PA.

    Lesson I should have learned from living in Florida, but somehow forgot, morning traffic and bands of a hurricane do not mix.
