Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.
HDNet is on channel 306 DirectTV, 770 on Charter Cable.
David Gilmour IS Pink Floyd!!!
LOL...aint that the truth!
Just got off I-83 with rain and lightning, we all did it.
OK, OK, we wern't doing 200 mph.
Let me know if ya do...I’ll join you for that event.
And why not, too many speeding tickets? Humboldt County has had 1/4 inch of rain since July 1st but that is normal here. The Deer hunters wish for a good rain during hunting season knowing it won’t but it is the accepted annual excuse for no venison in the larder. First rain good will be Oct...
Just talked to son and they have two fires within six miles of the house, uncontrolled. Power’s down so they also have no water.
Yark...whats the location?
Slightly south and east of Marble Falls.
Looking like the Vegas bikefest this year since they’re on the same weekend but we’ll surely come down next year...
Hope they save the house. If need be, I can put ‘em up here for a bit.
I think I know someone who will lend me a Harley...
He said they had the well back up with a generator. Not that water hoses will do much good against a wildfire, but at least that’s something.
He just built that house a couple of years ago. It’s rock and stucco with a metal roof so it’ll take more that a spark.
Thanks.
Good news/bad news. The good news is that the race will most likely happen on Tuesday. The bad news is that it may not be in the morning, once again due to weather. Current weather reports has the afternoon looking iffy, about 50/50.
Finally got son, they’re OK and have power back on now.
Fires are partially contained.
Great news, glad to hear it.
Tuesday morning is a travel day. Might catch the last part of the race as it starts “early” here on the West Coast...
Tuesday’s a workday here. :(
Hopefully they’ll get them all under control. Wind is still out of the north down here with a slight smell of smoke and a definite haze.
Glad to hear the pressure has eased on your son and his family. Today is a big let down for me as it’s not the same when a holiday is like any other day if you’re retired
Well I thought I was going to get some rest and was doing pretty good last night until he called.
I need a nap already.
Glad to hear the kids are OK, will keep y’all in our thoughts for a good outcome. (and some rain!)
guess I’ll have to see if I can find the NPR PRN MRN whatever the TLA for the race channel is in the bay.
stay safe, off to peddle my goods...
Thanks.
The NHRA is supposed to be on today, if it doesn’t rain there
too. ESPN 1 or 2 (I think).
