Hey guys,

I'm almost down to dry ground in my basement, so it looks like I'm in the clear. Thanks for the warm wishes! :jump:
 
Dang it Rami....you went and messed up my Julia Roberts/Pretty Woman fantasy by mentioning wearing your thigh boots. Now when I think of thigh boots, instead of Julia in those sexy red numbers, it will be you...well, no need for that bottle of little blue pills now, my interest in such activities is now fully dead.

Rami, I had little medical emrgency here of my own that's going to be okaay, I only became aware of what was going on in your neck of the woods. I'm very pleased things worked on your favor and all the people up there. We need to pray for and remember those who suffered grievous loss.

We'll be looking to hear from you soon.

Bones

Hey guys,

Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. The basement is dry, and I'm moving things back down to the basement this weekend. Erica and my kids, along with both cars, came back this morning. I've been quiet the last twelve hours or so because I'm currently offline at home; Dirtman taught me how to do what amounts to a "Complete XP tuneup."

When I ran Eraser 6.0 to wash the free space right down to the cluster tips before I started installing my games again, it erased nearly 90 GB (yes, gigabytes) of fragmented file junk while protecting my files. It was literally like night and day. Now that my PC is back to normal, I decided to run it one more time following a dictated sequence including turning off system restore temporarily, running defraggler twice, and once again washing the free space right down to the cluster tips. AVG and Spybot came back 100% clean, and I also have a baseline for the amount of files in my system, an essential bit of knowledge to alert you of any viruses. I also expanded the MFT to give my PC more room to breathe.

Once Eraser finishes its job, (I started at about 4am, then went back to bed) I will turn system restore back on and run Defraggler one more time. Then I should be all set, with a PC that should run as fast (or faster) than it did when I first turned her on. :wiggle:
 
Dang, that Dirty is not just another pretty face! Where would we be without the Dirtman? :salute::salute:



How much beer is it gonna cost ya?

...oh, if you have a shootin' iron, be a good idea to keep it handy and dandy....times like what you are in right now, people who aren't so honest tend to find time to go shopping in other people's homes..especially if they feel everybody has evacuated. Shoot first, forget the questions.,,oops, now I went and did it...I am now on the anti-militant radar LOL!

OBIO that is sure the truth. About 20 years ago a buddy of mine and I took off a week and went fishing on the Outer Banks, NC, Cape Hatteras to be exact. A few days into this trip a severe thunder storm with tornadoes approached and we were evacuated from the campground and sent to a nearby school. Went inside and it was mostly older people so we went back out to the van to ride it out. Well the storm came and it was so loud in that van from the rain thought we'd go deaf and rocking from the wind too. But anyway I sat in utter amazement as lightening flashed and we watched 3 punk kids carrying what looked like microwaves, tv's etc from some of the high dollar motor homes parked in the lot as they left the doors open and just walked off. Winds gusting probably up to 50 or so, rain so hard you couldn't see more than a few feet and here were thieves in action. We were still active law enforcement back then and I simply ran into the school and got the deputy inside. I laughed at him as he thought he was going to stay dry hiding inside. Anyway those punk kids were busted, he got 2 and I got one as when they saw a uniform coming at them they dropped their new loot and ran. That was back when I was young and dumb and in much better shape. So Obio you are right on about what some lowlifes will indeed do during emergencies and evacs. As far as that anti-militant radar you spoke of it sure looks like we'll all be in good company!
 
RAMI;

The old standby of a shotgun is great. Just remember the first up the spout is the last out. Had EXTREME gusts here (believe it was a wind shear as all trees fell in the same direction!) that took out everything! Luckily, we went to a party and I turned off every electronic device in the hose before we left. Don't know why but I had also told the wife to make sure all the laptops and cellphones were fully charged. Talk about premonition!!!!!
