Hope you've all been making preparations for Sandy's arrival,  and that you and your families will be safe throughout the duration of the event.

Take care, be safe, and we'll catch up after things settle down again.

Shawn has taken care of all that could be done.  Now it will be a waiting game to see if it helped.

Stay safe Everyone!

  Make sure your convert tops are up everyone - those having them, others, make sure your windows are up!,

  Bob still has the garage until Nov, so he is  40sleep3 warm and dry!


  Tomorrow, will be neat to see the Brandwine river that is near me, so much will be flooded out!

Very uneventful here so far, I just dread the high winds tonight and my trees staying upright. One took out both cars and part of the house during one storm. afraid%

Doc. you better put sonny on blocks or drill a hole in each floor to let the water drain out as the flood recedes.

We're having some pretty fierce winds here, but I'm up on a hill with no trees  so we're wide open to Mother Nature's wrath.   Can see sheets of rain blowing across the yard. Not complaining though, because the people at the shore are really getting hammered already and we haven't even gotten to the worst of it.


Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers that you, your families, and your VWs stay safe!  =+grouphu9

  • SYNCRO HiTop----K2SMD
Re: Sandy
« Reply #12 on: October 29, 2012, 03:22:50 pm »
I put everything away that could be put away. I parked the Syncro in front of the solar panels to protect them.

Strapped Marc's Super to the scaffold cart, and tied the tarps tight against the body

Cleaned all the gutters and attched the 10' pipe extensions


We just heard a loud crash. A big branch came down and bounced off the Syncro & hit the solar panels   #@rofl3

Another dent to fix on the Syncro, but the solar panels survived. Good Plan!  **^bana0   good grief  #banghead
