Re: Hurricane plan

may the great pidgeon guide your airbrush.

Winds up to 40. Power went out for about 30 min. Can't seem to generate enough lung power to use airbrush.

I'm a Sgt. with local PD on vacation. So far, they haven't realized that I've not reported to duty!

Wife's cat won't freakin' leave me alone.

News just said storm is still weakening, winds down to "around 100." Eye will be in area around 1400.

Appreciate the support from you guys out there.

Sean - I'm pulling for you, waiting for us to get our share tomorrow. We're looking for a good bit of rain (as if we need more!) and winds up to.. get this... 40MPH... Woohoo! Keep your head down and press on with your modeling efforts - I envy you...

where's your trusty backup air can? glad you weathered the storm ok. waiting for my boston friends to give the all clear.

just don't go out sans coulotte's. (sp?)

keep the baby, faith.

That'll help with the airbrushing... ;)

Well it'll be a tad higher powered when it thrashes through here. I really wish I could get the car in the garage but the kid's stuff is in there plus all the outside furniture. Strangely the neighbours don't seem to be worrying as much as I have. Next door still has her umbrella table and chairs on her back porch. If it moves, the wind'll probably carry it to the other neighbour's yard. I'm just freaking over those tall sycamores across the street. They sure look exciting when the wind whips them around. Last year we couldn't get the sky to spit on us and this year has been a cry-fest. :]

an untapped source of gas.

sycamore's are deep rooters, especially if you had some drought. hope the ground isn't too soft. pile the pc junkpile outside bill. that stuff won't blow away. then the car will be safe.

OK. The storm has finally passed. I was busy typing away an update around

Jacksonville got off easy this time. After enduring Bertha, Fran, Bonnie, Dennis, and Floyd since '96, I can feel for those who got hammered.

Thanks to all those out there who were supportive, and best wishes to those who are suffering or will suffer from the storm.

Sean

BTW, I actually forgot I had a back-up can of compressed air tucked away. Damn the luck!

Oh, forgot to mention that I'm using my father's computer. I know some of you were probably wondering how I could send stuff via computer if power was out:-)

Ok. Final storm report from me:

Power was returned late Thursday to the house. Just got my phone service restored today (I use ancient dial-up Internet). Worked on house yesterday for about two hours to fix cosmetic damage. Just need to get on roof to finish up by replacing the lone shingle that was removed from the roof.

Important stuff: During the storm, I got my AM Il-2 completed up to the point that I can airbrush it, and managed to airbrush a junk model (You know, the ones you just sort of throw together when you want to work on something that doesn't require any thought!).

Sean

Those are the kind I do so well. It's the ones that count that I screw up! Glad to hear you came out well.
