Oh, I will indeed!
My plan for this weekend was to start running all of this oak through a big drum sander that I have in my shop at home. However, we got slammed last night by a massive wind storm. I suspect that I will be out in the yard with a chainsaw all day tomorrow...
It was crazy. That was the first time I've felt the need to get in the utility closet under our stairs (we don't have a basement). One minute my son and I were playing chess in the living room, the next minute it's like there's a hurricane going on outside.
We just lost a couple treetops and a bunch of limbs, but no house or car damage - thank goodness! I hope everyone else around here came through OK!

Good that you and your family are okay.
And that there is no material damage.
This is what ABG's are for.
How are you on TB anyway without AC?
Seriously, sorry for the inconveniences you are experiencing.

I just saw on the news (over here) about the storms that have gone on in Virginia.
They have done more damage than I realized.
Everyone okay in the affected areas?

Greg, I hope all at both your and Danny's houses are OK after all the wind the other night, as well as the shops.
We got a bit of one edge of it all, a bit of wind, but nothing like the crazy stuff you got there...

Yeah, I saw the some of the damage in the area (and D.C.) and it looked like a tornado came through. Tree's laid out everywhere.
Glad to hear that you guys didn't get severe damage, although a power outage during a heatwave like this can be major bummer!

Yeah, we just have a few limbs down out my house, and no power which definitely stinks. The shop came through completely unscathed, and we've got power here. No word on Danny's place, he's on vacation... but I suspect he's fine. It was the higher elevations that really got pummeled.
You can drive up/down my road (which is a 1.5 mile climb up a decent mountain) and see exactly where the more serious damage started/stopped in terms of elevation. It's like night and day.
My wife and kids are making the most of it. They're calling it camping at home, and they're breaking out all the camp cooking stuff. Me? I hate camping.

For some reason we were the only house in the local 20 miles that went unscathed...really weird... Ray there are still outages in town...50,000 or so I heard. Calling it a land hurricane.

It took a week to get power restored? Wow.
God Bless, Ray
+1 Man! That's a long time to go without power!
I can only imagine how happy you are to get power back on!
