Why don't you just go ahead and close the shop for a few weeks,load up the dogs, head south and we will do some hunting. So many places that have opened up since deer season ended, we could use some the help ;) Bring Gerald with you too!

I sure hope it gets out of their and leaves as little damage as possible. Being with out power when it is in the teens is no fun...

Those limbs aren't going to hold the ice all nice without starting to break. Lets just hope the ice melts before too many of them snap....on your power lines.

Pops had a plug built into the garage to hook a miller bobcat welder to but after 1 1/2 weeks of listening to that said F that!!! They went and got a propane generator that runs itself once a week and comes on 3 seconds after it senses the power going out. Power has quit twice since Ike and they didn't even know it till they walked outside and heard it running. Was costly at first but the guys they bought it from come out and do the maintenance on it the whole nine yards. They said it was the best thing since slice bread ;D ;D
