Whats going on<

So, I hear that rained?

Sheryl said everything at the house is good, Brother lost power, and was pulling people out of some deep holes.

Sister in laws car was sunk, she is calling it a total, it, they sucked water out of the head, will not start , the water was up to the windshield, So they are calling it a wash,( yeah, i know, bad joke, but it went well with the beer I was drinking)

sadly, i missed all of it, I am damn happy though that everything is good for my wife, I was bummed that I was here and all of the **** was going on, but we were fortunate.

Glad it was boring for your family.
But yeah, sis needs to call insurance, definitely totaled. We're at 15 hydrolocked cars here right now. Some will get totaled, others will get to fix. Our Bloomfield store has 30....

Hydrolocked should be an easy, I think there are issues with the electrical, but I am not there, and I really dont wish to step in and try to help, if she has made up her mind, SOMEONE else can change it, not me..

Thanks Chad, So I was I happy the story at home was boring, I guess there is pretty cool video of a drone flying over an intersection a mile from my house, Hayes and utica road, the clinton river runs there, I havent been able to get the video it load on my phone, and my work laptop seems to lock me out of a lot of sights, including this one, I was able to use the hotel internet, google chrome, and so far, not locked out..yet I Guess. No computer expert here.

Drone Video Shot Over Flooded Hayes Road Is Both Scary And Cool « CBS Detroit

I was listening to 101.1 Wrif and some guy said he was pulling people out when the flood started for $20 a car and by the end of the night he said he made $800!!! Sounds like a big truck owners dream.

Yeah my brother got stuck in it too. Found out today that he flooded his car AND had to spend the night in the back seat. Water on the floor boards.

If anyone knows of a decent $5-8000 car let me know and I'll pass it on to him.

Me and brother in law (Jay) thought about this as we were getting his mom. Probably could have brought the gooseneck out and made good cash.......

Whereabouts? I could've picked him up too....
Jason is entertaining offers on a car, a '02 cadavalier. Runs good, z24 trim, cold a/c, 200k on it though.

He was over on the easy side. On Shaner.

That's prolly a bit old for a car. He drives from st Clair shores to Troy everyday

It's getting a bit rusty too....
We picked up their mom at John R and 11 mile ish. This was the intersection she was by, not too bad in this pic but it got too deep for cars to pass in every direction from here.

Well, it's Thirsty Thursday at least.

Keli finally got to drive a RZR last night. Now I definitely need to get one. They are pretty damn fun and a nice ride on the sand.....

Once you get a RZR you'll never need another dunes toy. Or any toy. Makes me thirsty.
