Pics of my F1






I'm on a cell but will try to load the pics I took when I was able to access our house.ok I hope that they uploaded,. The good news is that we put an offer in on a house, l will let you all know how that comes out. I have faith that if we are mentioned to get it we will, and visa versa. I just do the footwork and leave the rest up to God. Rock on my friends and have a wonderful new year.

Wow didn't leave much of it . Looks like the building must have fallen on it to flatten and push back the roof like that .

Man, that's got to be a continuing gut punch, especially since it appears that at least one nearby home remained intact.

I'm impressed with your resilience, Jimmy. You are an inspiration for those with far smaller challenges. Thanks for checking back in.

wow! so sad to see what everyone has lost. good thing you made it out alive. a lot didn't get that chance. a real good friend of mine lost everything but some paperwork and their cat. drove thru the flames to get out. they now live in west sacramento.
on a side note it looks like you could possibly save some things from your truck and incorporate it into the new one.

Thank you for posting the pictures Jim. Whew, I know I said in an earlier thread maybe we can try to rebuild it but that is quite warped and melted.
The front bumper and maybe the stainless hood trim maybe still usable. Or maybe they will snap like a dry breadstick.
To get out of that area alive is a miracle. I'm hoping you get accepted to buy a house.

So sad to see. How are the tools in those tool chests, or were you allowed to go in there?

Sorry for all you have gone through. Hope your insurance company helps to get you set up in a new place and restores your life back to (or close to) normal.

I think about you all the time and hope you and your family are well.

Take Care

Dan

Jim, I see your door handles are drooping. I hear that’s a problem for a lot of trucks. Dennis

Na all the metal, tools ,truck we're heated to such a high temperature there isn't anything to save. It's gonna be dozed off and scraped. The only real regret is that nobody will ever be able to work on it ever again, and that saddens me more than me loosing it. It

It has to be devastating to walk through what used to be your home in that state.
I hope the house purchase goes well. One day at a time.

That's heart breaking Jimmy
Good luck on the new house, I hope it all falls into place and you can get settled into some kind of normalcy before too long.

Bobby
