wish they would put a thin walk off the steps on left side so at least to boats could dock there.

BELATED MORNIIN TO YA, THE OLD MAN GOT BACK HOME FROM THE LAKE TUES. AFTERNOON LATE, DURING THE STORM THAT CAME THROUGH OUR PLACE LAST THURS. NIGHT AND FRI, MORNIG WE HAD 2 LARGE OAK TREES TWISTED OFF ABOUT 20 FT. FROM THE GROUND, ALSO HAD ONE OF MY LADDERS BLOW OVER AND BREAK OFF A SPIGOT AT THE BACK OF MY WORKSHOP. WE TURNED OFF THE ELECTRICITY AND THE HOT WATER HEATERS AND HEADED DOWN TO LAKE GRANDIN, ABOUT 20 WEST OF PALATKA, FLA. , THIS WAS ON FRI. MORNING AFTER THE STORM CAME THROUGH. WHEN WE GOT BACK I BEGAN TO TRY AND FIX THE BROKEN SPIGOT, IT WAS NOT ONLY THE SPIGOT BUT THE UPRIGHT STANDARD AND TEE. ENDED UP WITH ME HAVING TO DIG UP ABOUT 20 FT. OF PIPE AND CUTTING OUT THE TEE AND THE UPRIGHT. HAD TO REPLACE THE 1 1/2 INCH TEE WITH A 11/2 UPRIGHT STANDARD AND THREADED 3/4 IN. INSERT, 2- 1 1/2 IN, TO 1 1/4 REDUCERS AND GLUE ALL HIS STUFF TOGETHER AND COVER THE PIPE BACK UP. WHEN I FINISHED DOING ALL OF THIS EVERYTHING WORKS FINE NOW. NOW I HAVE TO GET ME A NEW GARAGE DOOR REPLACE WITH A ALUM. PANNELS INSTEAD OF THE HEAVY WOODEN ONE WE HAVE. I SPENT ALL DAY RE-ARAINGEMENT OF MY WORK SHOP AND GET RID OF A BUNCH OF JUNK I HAVE BEEN SAVING FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS. HAVE ABOUT 1 TON OF JUNK TO TAKE TO THE DUMP FIRST THING TOMORROW.
GOT WORD FROM MY ENGINE REPAIR MAN, THAT THE WATER PUMP AND IMPELLER HAVE BEEN REPLACE AND NEW PEA LINE REPLACED. FOUND OUT AFTER ALL OF THIS THE THERMOSTAT WAS FROZEN CLOSED, NOW HE IS GONNA PUT IN A NEW THERMOSTAT, HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE IT DONE BY MY BIRTHDAY THE 17TH. I SURE HOPE JAKE GETS THAT THERMOSTAT IN WITHOUT TOO MUCH PROBLEMS, HE MIGHT HAVE TO CUT OUT A 4 X 6 PLATE OF THE MOTOR HOUSING IF ANY OF THE BOLTS BREAK OFF IN THE BLOCK. JUST LOOKING AT THE BOLTS I KNOW SOME WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN OUT WITH A EASY-OUT AND REBORED TO 1 SIZE LARGER BOLT SIZE . HOPE JAKE DOES NOT HAVE TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME GETTING THIS DONE.
WELL I HAVE SPENT MORE TIME ON THE UPDATE THAN I WOULD LIKE TO . SEE YA

HEY SPINNER, WE WERE LUCKY, WE HAD 12 NICE PINE TREES TWISTED OFF ABOUT 20 FT. FROM THE GROUND OUT IN THE WOODS. HAD 2 LARGE RED OAK TWISTED OFF ABOUT 20 FT AND THE DAMAGE TO ONE OF MY SPIGOTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE WE WERE OUT OF POWER OVER ABOUT 4 HOURS. CHECKED MY MONITOR ON ALL THE FREEZER AND ONLY HAD A 1 DEGREE RISE IN TEMP 2 DIFFERENT TIMES, EMC HAS BEEN GOOD KEEPING THE LINES UP OUT OUR WAY.
