I FReeped her my number. I will let you know if she needs additional help.
Your advice was sound and has been saved!
Tom, you're a good guy- thanks, and let me know if I can help.
Nita, the offer stands.
I don't usually release personal info, but this qualifies as exceptional circumstances-- Doug from Upland & Eternal Vigilance have my number, have talked to me over the phone, and would probably testify to my good character. :)
One thing we do here when a storm threatens is charge all the batteries beforehand, and even fill all the air tanks-- it's all stored energy.
This is not to say that I have my act together as well as it ought to be-- it just occurred to me that I need to get my old wrecker back in servicable condition-- the winches and boom and push bumper on it would be a real lifesaver for moving trees and clearing debris. You'd be amazed ( or maybe not, given the circumstances ) at how much work can be done by something like that, or a boom truck, or even a small tractor.
