    Glad no one was hurt, sucks about his son's car and garage. Thank goodness the Healey was undamaged.

    Was on I-70 here in the middle of Missouri this afternoon and for you folks back east I passed a VERY long line of power company trucks headed your direction. :Thumbsup:

    I passed a long line of the power trucks headed north out of Columbia, SC today on my way to work. Not sure where they were headed!

    Still no power here... I'm really not expecting to see power before Tuesday. Took the wife for breakfast at Cracker Barrel and saw a convoy in the parking lot of Arkansas utility trucks all having high carb breakfasts.

    Making cold brew tea to go with a bag of ice. I'm still cutting up trees and branches. Getting a real workout. Will be glad to go to the office in the morning.

    You guys feel free to come to our house in Hooterville & cool off. We have power, but a couple of times yesterday it went off for a minute or two. Guess it is from work on the neighboring power lines.

    Drove up to the big city yesterday. 108°, air conditioner on sitting at a stop light thru 3 cycles. Gives a whole new meaning to the word heatsoak. Could hardly get the li'l guy rolling till the intercooler kicked in.

    Thanks Chuck... I'm havin way too much fun with the chain saw... All I need is a white hockey mask and you can call me Jason.... Feels like a sauna here..... Just came in for a quick cold shower and some ice tea. Gonna give it a rest now... Maybe jump back in later on...... Or maybe not.... I pretty much got most of the mess cut up.... Need to attack the rest with a rake....

    My neighbor across the street is Gordon Gee.... Didn't see him come out with his chainsaw, but I saw a whole bunch of OSU grounds workers makin his place look spiffy.....

    Looks like another storm is about to hit Columbus. Hope all it does is rain and remove some of the heat. We've already seen what mother nature can do when she's ..... Well angry...

    I've been a good boy momma...:D

    The center of this one has 60mph straight line winds. Looks like it's going to get south Columbus. Still no power here!

    Really dark to south of us. Rain & wind here, but nothing bad. Pickaway & Ross county are going to get nailed. Lots of hail down there.
