Yeah but now you know why the chickens sit up in the trees. :lol: Apparently they (the chickens) were practicing for storms like Ike.

Appreciate the calls, love letters, and voicemails. Bad ass storm for sure. Ididnt go through much really. Back fence blew down, the one that I shot peanut the cat off several times. Gunna have to fix that. Back neighbor REALLY doesnt like to see me take a leak. Go figure. Fucking Puritan.
One of my employees got smoked pretty bad. Flooded, lost alot of her furniture, and keep sakes from her wedding. Just got married a couple of months ago. Told her, you didnt have shit so starting over should be a piece of cake. Been helping a few others with shingles, debris, ect...I gotta quit this nice guy shit.

Went to the ranch to shoot with Rico, Invictus and Another Damned Texan but....they didnt come. Loaded up tools, chain saw, 40 gallons of gas,and headed for the in need employee's houses. Ranch had -0- damage, zero rain....all good.

Im good guys, just busy as a mother fucker now spreading the love of GRITS, dog cussing idiots, and taunting those who need it. People being especially stupid and paniky in Houston. Must have had 50 offers to but the gas off my truck....one said...."so wutcha gunna do if I jes take it"? :lol: :lol: I merely replied, if there is a God in heaven you WILL try.

Appreciate all your calls and stuff. Doing good, bro's. You too Sista's. Need to get laid bad. 8)

Although I've never met you, I'm glad you came out of this unscatched. Thanks for the offer of assistance for my Mom.

Other than some minor damage, she's doing just great. She's now contemplating relocating up to my AO! :D

My apologies. I should have thanked you and Andy for offering to provide assistance should the need arise.

Sounds like you had the same "luck" as my mother. I keep telling her it could have been worse. She just paid $800 and got the roof repaired and the tree removed. She had power back the day after. Sounds like you're on the other side of the city.

I hope you've got a generator for the extended power outage. If I were closer, I'd let you use one of the two gen-sets that I own.

ComEd (the company I work for) is sending like 40 Crews to Houston. They should be there this week.

Shoot me a PM if you don't have lights by Friday, and I'll see if any of our crews are working near your address. If so, I can most likely get them routed to you.

Can't promise quicker lights back on, but will try to help as much as possible.
