Larry & Patsy -- Thats' some storm you've got going on there -- we thought its bad here in the East but its nothing compared to yours .Hope you have a long range plan as a month without power seems like an eternity.Here's some good news -- go out and get yourselves a fresh copy of Hemmings Muscle Machines--the cover says it all -- "Perfect in Pink" -- I'm sure this article will pick-up your day .Good Luck...............

I live in southwest Missouri, we've had ice storms the last two years, '07-'08, we dodged a bullet this year. I think it had to do with "change" that Obama was talking about

Spreading the misery...LOL

Well, it is suppose to be in the 50's today. Larry is out with the chainsaw cutting firewood. Now if we just heated with wood!! Jerry Newsome does heat with wood, so maybe he will get it. Things are looking a little bit more optimistic now. They are saying we may have power by the end of the week. We are using about $100 per day (40 gal) of diesel fuel to operate our generator, so I will sure be glad when this is all over. At least my 80 year old mother is staying warm here with us. We have had 10-15 people here since Tues. We went out yesterday and saw a lot of the destruction. Trees and electric poles down everywhere. One of the utility Co.'s lost 1500 poles. Someone said a load of poles came in yesterday with a police escort. Other utility companys from outside the state have been coming in to help. I am still looking for Brian Schultz!!

Well I guess I better get back at it.
More later.

Finally got power back (Sunday at 11:45 AM), got phone service back about 2:30 PM, going to miss football game, still no TV service. Looks like a war zone around here with all the ice damage. Lucky no damage to house or garage from the falling tree limbs. Thank goodness for trailer generator, had to go to E-town to get gas the first day, they finally got power on in town but then were running out of gas at the stations. There are still a lot of people without power so I'm lucky to get power back. I saw crews here from Tenn. and Ga. helping the local crews restore power. J. Gower stock 3058
