Sorry about the post,I should have realized there were many in the US. under

extreme durress what with the floods, tornado's and terrible wild fires.


It was a mess and we've still got some firewood in the yard. It will probably be there this time next year. I don't do chainsaws any more. We were very, very lucky compared to others. We really lost only the food in both freezers and two refrigerators. And no, insurance didn't cover it. Our deductible was too high for that. We were fortunate in being able to drive 15 miles and sleep at the oldest kid's house, where power was still on: those 88 degree nights are not charming at my age.

Hi Charlie Hoss,

Glad you made it through. I know about those deductibles. Lightning
struck a big pine about 10 ft from my shop. Zapped my well pump, Nova
DVR lathe, two telephones, security lights and misc. small
electronics. Everything is up and running again.

Bought your book on making wood puzzles and am busy at work making
little cubes of cherry and bradford pear. For the grand kids (after I
learn how to solve them myself).

Good to hear from you.
