Well it seems my retirement is going to end for a few months, I recieved a call to head up a disaster crew and go to Moore Oklahoma. I have to be there by Friday to meet with FEMA, county and state and city officials. I'll jump on here when I can. Really was not expecting to ever go back to work, I am loving being retired but this money is just to good to pass up. I have this house on the market but my daughter can handle all of that. This will give me the chance to finish building the new house here and complete the remodel on the one I bought at Branson. I am crossing my fingers the tornados are finished in OK. and the hurricanes hold off here till I get back. I will catch up on posts when I can.

Heads up Tyler looks like you are going to get a visit from the first tropical storm of the year. Latest model is showing it going inland just north of you, so you will get the rain for sure. Be safe my friend !!!!!

Yeah it hit last night and we had rain all day today, but its starting to clear up now. It was a nice relief from the heat. They had several tornado warnings out but nothing too serious. In short it was just another typical June rainy day in FL. lol

Just a quick hi and hope things are going ok, glad your storm wasn't to bad Tyler. All I can say about Moore is OMG, but these people are amazing and the out pouring of help is remarkable. Here it is neighbor helping neighbor, a very rare and valuable lesson in today's society.

Rain out day which is fine with me, we had some really bad storms last night , these poor people trying to pick up their lives are sure fighting the elements, but it isn't breaking their spirit. Hope all are doing well. At least I get a chance to catch up on laundry and paper work today. Have a good one !!

Thanks Tyler you are right I need some down time today then back to 7 days a week 12-14 hrs in the field and back to the motel for a couple hours of paper work. I miss the forum but in the evenings I am just to tired to do anything but reply to e-mails and plan the next day. Take care my friend and pray the hurricanes stay away till I get back home at least.

One more week and it will be homeward bound !!!! I need some good home cookin and fresh seafood.
Interesting event last night, the police pulled over a semi infront of our motel, they did a search of the trailor and out popped 10 illegals (men) 4 minor girls , aprox.6 tons of pot and 400 lb. of coke. It was headed to Kansas City is what one of the cops told us. Never ending..

We are the children of storms. I've sure seen plenty and so have you. I'll repeat: If you need any assistance of any kind, let me know.

Thanks Moon, thought I would be Louisiana bound tonight but a week of rain has delayed our departure . I see a small puff heading west named Dorian, looks like it will have trouble with dry air, but the kids say our local weather reporters are not ruling out it making its way toward the gulf next week.
