The wiring was in great shape. The lady said that her grandmother could not get around very good any more so they where selling it.

Keeping my daughter dry!! Her house has water about 6 or 8 feet from the front door. So I spent most of yesterday afternoon and today moving things up in the attic and to higher ground so to speak. The water was coming out of the storm drains there.
Then since I made a few bucks off of the damage to my house (I kept the labor and bought the materials and fixed it my own self) My wife and I went to Lowes and Home Depot and we are redoing my patio and water garden. And we are going to look at hot tubs later on this weekend. :D

I will say this you guys did really well on the sales this weekend and brought home some really nice machines!! I need to go see about getting a few more myself but right now I have so many things going on I dont have any time. If its not the storms its the stupid flooding then there is all of these machines I have stacked in my living room waiting for their turn in the spa. But I have to go to the post office and drop off 4 machines plus some parts and will have 3 more ready to get out of here by Thursday night! So I am working the pile down :P

Heck, Billy... you're going to need a hot tub soak after moving all that stuff, and fixing up your house from the tornado's, and cleaning up all the muck left over from the floods. And to hear tell, the flooding is not 'done' yet. More to come in the Mississippi valley at least. I'll go sit on my dock with a nice cold one (fresh lemonade), put my feet up, contemplate the merits of a boat ride.... and think of you....

Is it just me? Or what? I swear, I read my typing on my replies BEFORE I 'send' them. Then when I go back and look at them... there are these crazy misspellings and words left out. It's driving me crazy. grrrrrr. Happens like all the time!
