I'll be there but possible in the car instead of the truck. I don't want to smoke another trans.

Hey Justin don't sweat it, we'll get Jimbo to meet us in phoenix, Ben, you, Jimbo and I will take the tdi! Springs will be sagging a bit but it will only cost us $350 in fuel lol! What better excuse to go someplace thats not 118 degrees.

Sounds like a good idea to me!

Sounds like a good time Bill, but i'm afraid i'm too far also.

i will be there in spirit.[laugh]

For those attending this get together, Bill's home was recently victim to a storm that ravaged the south jersey area, particularly Buena and Mays Landing. He and his wife are fine, but the storm blew off a portion of roof and felled several trees. He has no power for at least a week according to the electric company and has set up a large generator to run his AC and essentials. Basically he has no phone service, cable, or internet. He may postpone but he will let everyone know by this coming weekend.

let him know if he needs anything let us know...sorry to hear that bill

Dang that sucks, if you guys need any help let me know. I am off work for the next couple of days and i have few large chainsaws if you need help cleaning trees or anything.

Thanks for the offers guys my place is kind of a mess right now but I am trying to get it cleaned up. They say we won't have electric until Friday at midnight but my boss was kind enough to lend me a generator when mine went down. I dont have a bbq grill to cook on because the storm smashed it it pieces. I am trying to get things sorted out and I will let you guys know what is going on as soon as I know what I can do. I don't have any internet or cell service at my house so if I can't post I will text Paul and ask him to let you guys know what I am doing. Thank god the trees fell away from my house and not towards it or my wife and I would not be here. But part of the roof came off and I was poking holes in the sheet rock with my knife to let the water drain to keep the entire ceiling from falling in. So needless to say my house is a mess at best.

Sorry to hear that man

Glad to hear you're OK, Bill. The wife too !


People are difficult to repair or replace, while the house can be rebuilt relatively easily.


Give me a call when things settle down.

I will give you a call when I get back to work on Thursday T. Insurance company was there today.

Sorry to hear about that Bill. Anything else damaged? Your garage? Car?

No Brandon the Duster is safe lol only small branches fell on that container. No other vehicles were damaged from what I saw but his grill is smashed to pieces, kitchen is in need of attention, and there is a huge tree (80ft?) that would have crushed his house to bits that was uprooted and sent the other way. Some branches are split up high in the trees too. Nothing major was damaged besides the house in which case he was lucky, because the surrounding area on my drive to and from was A LOT worse.

Power just came on along with tv phone and internet Whoohoo.

Welcome back from the real world to the "fakey" internet place of worship and song.


Embrace the engine roar, and feel the vibe, man ![duhhh]

I'm glad to hear there is a little normalcy restored to your life. Hope recovery is quick.
Bill

Thanks guys insurance co was here yesterday so I am just waiting on them now.

Ok guys I am going to call the gtg off for now. I have a lot going on here and my place is a mess there is no way I am going to have you guys over. I will reschedule it for another time when things settle down some more. Probably in a few months when it is a little cooler outside anyway.

Hey Bill, sorry to hear about the house and the storm damage. Glad to hear that you and your wife are OK. I wanted to say that I'd be down for coming to the gtg, but have to work this weekend on Saturday. Only plus I see that now you are rescheduling it...next time hopefully I can come. Jersey isn't that bad of a drive.

You should keep it on, only add "bring chainsaws, carpentry tools, grills and coolers."

And a bucket truck...some of the severed branches were up really high

Hey i have a bucket truck, Runs on diesel too

Thanks guys I have a few guys coming over this coming weekend to help me out. I have a big telescopic fork lift and a man cage that I am going to bring home from work.

Hey i have a bucket truck, Runs on diesel too

the 6.5?

Good to hear things are slowly coming back to normal Bill.

Yes it's not street legal though It'd have to be towed there somehow.

I got uhaul trailers [laugh]

Better be a serious U-haul, 13,000 lb truck.

I got a big telescopic fork lift with a man cage lined up for Saturday but thanks just the same guys!

The tree cutting has begun! Should have a few guys to help me tomorrow hope we get it all done.

Hey Bill, Glad to hear you were alright up there. We took a good hit. Lost a car alot of trees, Hell one fell on a girl driving past the house when the storm hit. Smeared her car, she was lucky to get out. After I cut the door open with a sawz all. Just got internet and cable back today. And looked like a 3 year old ran the cable. If ya need some help give a shout.

Sorry to hear about the car but j am glad you guys are ok. Thanks for the offer I was going to call you the other day because my central ac was messed up but I got it fixed on my own. I guess it was hit by lightning and fried a relaythe circulator fan would not shut off I replaced the relay and it is fixed. I got lucky with that.
