good to hear Ken
we were concerned and you were not posting so we thought your power was down
is Frank OK also ? or the rest of the Florida shooters ?

Glad to see you are also OK Frank
the news services only show us the worst of it
looks like you now get to do some yard work
and build a new fence
hope the shooters up north of you are also OK

Thanks Dick
i think we dodged a bullet here, lots of gusty winds and a bit of rain but not the apocalyptic scenario that news outlets portrayed -
the winds did knock down lots of foliage - thus changing wind patterns around my shooting bench and shooting lane- should create more interesting shooting conditions for practice ?
Havent heard anything from the Jacksonville area -hope that everybody in the path of this thing is ok!

Went over to Al's range today, did some chainsawing and general cleanup. The canopy over the benches didn't make it. Hopefully we can replace it soon. All in all we where very blessed. My wife's friends house got hit so bad it was declared unsafe to live in.. she has to move out....

We had a hard slap with Mathew .winds not to bad 50-75 mph .The big problem was the rain 15 inches here.Many homes flooded roads washed out .Sadly the worst is yet to come.The rivers will crest this Friday with record setting levels higher than Floyd which devastated Eastern N.C.Hope Jimmy is ok as his area was hit pretty hard .

Hope Al's place gets up and shotting again soon.
sorry to hear about your friends house Ken .....
heard from Jimmy just a bit ago. They just got power back on. Was some flooding -
think the Carolinas got the worst of it.
Take Care

I have a friend in Myrtle Beach and it looked like he had it worse than that, surprisingly. He had a bunch of trees down in, on, and around his house. Maybe it's just because there'd been no big storms for a while to thin the trees. He said that his family left his house during the storm and sheltered in his workplace instead.

Hey guys, glad everyone weathered the storm. We lost power for about 21 hours. Matthew tried to push the skirting up under my mobile home. I took off work today and fixed that. Did most of the limb and debris removal yesterday. I'm pretty sore from that......could use an Ibuprofen IV drip right about now ;-)
As NCStan said, the rivers and streams haven't crested yet. So glad I don't live near any river or stream. That's gonna be some bad news for a lot of folks. My boss lives in Sampson county and there were so many flooded roads he couldn't make it to work today and said not to expect him tomorrow either.
My dad had a close scare with water just inches away from coming in his house, but he got very lucky and it receded.

Looks good Jimmy! I assume that is a before and after?

P.S
could have been just the opposite -- with enough Jim Beam

Finally got in a set -
very windy conditions due to all the foliage and trees that went down - makes for an interesting practice session
using my one piece Rest and a new March 60X Scope
got word that my SEB NEO is on its way to me.
'Should be interesting to use a joystick operated front rest
cheers
