Holy hell we had a serious storm blow through here. One of those deals of absolute hell for about 30 minutes. Serious hail and wind etc.
Trees down all over the place, most of the county has no power.
There isn't a house in our neighborhood without a tree of some kind down.

Man -
you of all people will appreciate this.
It hides in plain site right behind the church at the end of the road. Hundreds drive by daily and never look at it.

The coolest part is how the metal never rust. True wrought iron is self preserving. The metallurgical part of that is pretty fascinating to me.

so the question is, are they choosing to protect the folks on the outside or the inside?

Protection? That's not protection. That's the anti-bird-veggimatic 3000 prevention system

Alongside my broken fridge/freezer post in the suck ass thread.... I was at my parents house last night discussing where to get parts for it, and dad says "let me see if I have the manual in the drawer here" takes 2 steps away from his chair at the kitchen table, and pulls out the manual and everything else in less than 10 seconds :laughing:

A Kenmore 22cuft side by side Refrigerator WITH ICEMAKER! was about a grand back then. Same thing probably ain't much more now. Of course the new one won't last 36 years. :(

But... inflation.

Man, that could have been waaaay worse!

Yes it could have. There is probably another 15 ft of tree behind where I was standing to take the pic, and it could have easily messed up a bunch of stuff. It was a dying tree, but it has been dying for the 12 years I've been on the property with not so much as a limb falling out. Guess last night it just said "meh whatever."

I'm down for trying it. Never been there. We do typically go to Mr Tokyo once a week for Sushi in Pineville.
