Greetings to all the Freeper Canteeners out there in Freeperland. It's time for the Saturday Sortie. We had a wee bit of an exciting nite last night here at the alfa6 abode. Mrs alfa6 asked if we could go on a quick run to SAM's for a few victuals last nite before I posted the Friday Flyby. No problem says I we will be back in plenty of time. BWA HA HA HA HA

We get to SAM's and just start loading up the cart when our oldest daughter calls to let us know that she had a busted pipe and about 18" of water in the basement. So instead of getting a truck full of goodies at SAM's we spent the better part of last night getting pumps going, moving water and all sorts of other groovy things in the balmy 30 degree dark:-)

This morning was spent wet vacing the floor and getting the furnace and water heater dried out. The daughter's basement is more cellar than basement and the floor is very irregular. By a lucky twist a fate the furnace and the water heater were on the two highest parts of the floor so the water did not get to any of the internals of either piece of equipment. So as of this evening it looks like everthing is working okay. And forunately nothing of any great value was lost. A few Christmas decorations and a couple of old light fixtures were the only things of any value that we had to toss out.

I did suggest though that there were easier ways to clean out the basement, foutuantely I was not assualted by my wife our daughter:-)

Well any ways back to the Blackhawk pics, another half dozen or so are on the way...
