Harvey is going to hurt the Texas coast, and quite a ways inland! Landfall is expected sometime overnight tonight. Corpus is predicted to have a storm surge of 6-12 feet. I'm about 160 miles from the coast, so all we are expecting is somewhere between 10" and 22" of rain and some high...

Couldn't hurt. :) It'll be a while before that one flies again, though... Cheers

He doesn't get on here much anymore, but I'll pass on y'alls regards. Speaking of flying, haven't seen Sarge since last night. Around 11pm, he decided to give me a "UFO moment" with a well-lighted drone. Turns out a large cedar tree resented the drone's presence and swatted it from the skies...

Sarge doesn't say much here mainly because his dial-up internet connection is sooo bad that it takes hours to do anything. That is why I usually write up his vehicle recoveries (well, that and the fact that he would probably never get around to it! And I am blabby.). His shop is a little...

What John has not shared with you is that within a couple of weeks of returning from his Katrina mission, he was off again, this time to far East Texas ravaged by both Katrina and Rita. He delivered a significant quantity of fuel to another MV owner who needed it to run a generator because of...
