Thank you Jeremy. I know if I don't pull this off it's highly unlikely I'll live until the next Gatlinburg.

Mark, Sorry to have seen this so late. I have not smoked since 2000, I used the inhaler, and I have to say, it worked for me.. I didnt read the instructions, which saved me a lot of money. All I did was keep it in my pocket, and when the urge came, I hit it. When something started to send me over to the other side, I hit it. I kept that thing in my pocket for nearly 6 months, when I finally put it away. That was the day I called myself a non smoker.. The cravings do get easier, although once in a while, it really, really, sounds good. Another thing, I occasionally smoke cigars, I like those cheap backwoods cigars when I am camping. I have seen several people who have quit smoking only to take up cigars..Good Luck my friend!! and remember, if you are ever feeling ornary, you can always got to the the club!!

Anyone besides me watching the path of the storm? If it don't turn off the path they are showing, I will be screwed, again.

I just looked at the path of the storm. Rick I hope that you, your family, and every one else in the path of the storm makes it out of this allright.

Thanks Jacob. I sure can't afford to go through another Rita again. Good thing I kept my TT. Maybe it will turn. But that only means someone else will get it.

Travel trailer. TT. I bought it after Rita so we would have a place to stay while doing repairs to the house. Had $97,000.00 clam with insurance for house and out buildings. Don't need that again.

EDIT: Congrats on the 500 post Jacob.

Just seen the new update, looking like heading more to the east, towards Mississippi. Still way to far away for them to tell.

Rick, better batten down the hatches my friend. That's gotta be a lousy feeling knowing that you have a bulls-eye on you.

Rick, if it does indeed head for LC, and you need to evacuate, you can always come this way.

Thanks Scott for the offer. I know it's too early for them to give the exact landing. Looks better now then a while ago. Looking like they are saying Mississippi. If we do have to evacuate, we will take the TT and make a big circle, and come right back after it passes. You need to watch this too Scott. You are not that far from the cost.

We evacuated to Dallas during Rita. What a freaking nightmare that was. We're riding the next one out.
