My pilot friend Audrey is in Waterbury and has a leader down on her car and garage...

She won't have power for a week, and god knows when the insurance adjuster will get there.

i had picked up my father in laws NEW chainsaw so i could fix it (its not an orange one) when i was over for dinner friday night. i fixed it this morning and then put it to work so i could get out of the driveway, and then a couple more times so i could get down the road, then a few more times so i could get down his road.

i heard there are close to 200,000 more "trouble sites" with electric than when irene hit.

i charged my webs and puter off the car, so i have a few minutes to electronically sign house papers and check CT BS e

The only time I had to engage 4x4 in my truck was to go through the corn field around trees in the road.

That 06 needs brakes BAD. I didn't even realize how bad they were until I drove it all morning then hopped in my truck. Almost threw myself through the windshield in my truck.

It was cleaned out after a quick jaunt up to Central. Puffed a hair on my way home and I haven't seen anything since.

Interesting... I'd offer to help but I have no clue how they work. I think they're rebuildable though.
