You could always swap out the engine in the red bug and put it in the purple bug. That should take up some time!

Holding down the fort here. Getting a little water in the sump pit. It works!!!! Ain't that nice. It's like having a generator and hoping you don't need it! Keep dry and safe everyone!

LOL, too wet to move the cars around now.
NBC 40 just went off the air along with their web site, now what, I rely on Dan the weather man for the real skinny.

Water alarms went off. So much for waiting till morning to hook up the generator.
So its up and running, but too late for a dry basement

Lost power here 7 hours ago, and no end in sight.  Can't even get through the JCPL hotline to see when they might restore it.  Wind and rain still whipping around.  Small generator powering fridge, and one more cord for a miscellaneous item..right now my computer. So no well and septic.  Yippee,  the bucket brigade for the bathroom! lol
