    I remember one bridge system in the sea off Connecticut., Im tooling along fat dumb and heavy.

    THUMP I am on this grate bridge system that is also a weight restricted drawbridge rated at 9 ton and I think 13 foot.

    The whole truck made it. Bridge sank under my weight on the water. So it all worked out.

    I made sure to this day I never returned to that part of the coast. Its just too full of surprises.

    You know what? Its a wave it died. and then split but still severe by radar all the way to the Mississippi River.

    Just wet.

    There is a little something I say for myself. If I want sunshine and good weather, all I have to do is run around outside there is rain coming.

    God is pleased to make a liar out of me and good weather comes along. Story of my life. =)

    When weather is bad, our grid is ####. So I shut the computer and electronics down. Its all insured. Burn it all I'll just build another. There is two poles on highway 64 towards Elpaso. All of our juice passes through that. Every time the wind blows the poles sway. ZAP! SURGE! etc. Ugh. computer hates that.

    I rather not.

    IF you got lost on hill, drive downhill until you hit a town. And vice versa for flat. =)

    Sounds like my Atlas, more notes than maps showing on the pages. But it will get you anywhere I picked up or delivered or almost, my son is now the bearer of the secret notes in the 1988 Atlas.
