The Miracle Tank

[fishguy242]

Just me checking in. We were planning on riding out Laura, but the models this morning did not look good and the cone narrowed around us. Then at 11:00am our city issued a mandatory evacuation, saying it was not out of the realm of possibility that the storm could reach a cat 4. So, since we were already prepared to bug out, we left around noon. We are in Natchez, MS about three hours northeast of Lake Charles. We beat all the traffic out and had a quick trip. Camping out here until we get the all clear to head back.

keep us posted as you can!!be well,be safe, :)

@fishguy242 liked my comment. Good enough to justify spam.

haddoni just ate his daily scallop, so not quite his 20” of size lol.

Glad you decided bug out...sux that you had to do it, but at least you're safer now. That storm is really starting to look big and ugly on radar.

And a FTS.

3 mertens, 1 haddoni, 2 ritts, 1 rbta that I have no idea where it came from (think a rock out of my 45 bubble tank that I didn’t know it was attached to lol), 30 or so rock flowers, and 2 rainbow bottoms that decided behind the rocks was best lol.

excuse the dead acros on the top left next to the birds nest. Dang rbta walked all over them, but they are coming back.

just think, all of this was in a 90 and a 45 jbj before. At least I can see rock in this tank lol.

Sorry the mertens were not. Those are 3 weeks in this tank.

Ohh. @dantimdad

got a new toy and Damian got new wheels for his bday. The elusive factory bbs Volvo mesh wheels. Had them powder coated for him also.

1995 940 turbo. 70 trim on 26lbs. Made 472 to the rear wheels.

Ignore mess and unfinished look. this was from when I was fitting the turbo and mocking up the down pipe.

And Damian’s car. Your son should love it. His car made 391 to all 4 wheels.

 

[Why-Me]

Thinking of replacing that basslet with a Lineatus or Rhomboid wrasse...

Im really disliking them myself. Move float up and down, and it allows pump to continuously run

@Fin I hope the hurricane weakens. I see you are right in her path.

Not looking good at the moment. We are out of harm’s way though. It should make landfall around midnight tonight. It’s going to mess a lot of stuff up.

I hope not. Nobody needs that. I'm glad you're safe.

We were lucky with Rita in 2005. Only lost the privacy fence. But just across the field from my house, our local hangout bar was destroyed by a tornado. The northeast quadrant of hurricanes is where most of the violent weather is. There were too many tornadoes spawned in Rita to count. Lake Charles is in the northeast quadrant for this storm. Hoping it won’t intensify more today.

 

[Katrina71]

Been trying to make a plan to evacuate my parents during hurricane season if need be. A motorhome would make it possible, getting one is a whole other matter.

Anyone happen to be selling an icecap 1k or jebao cp25?

I have an icecap 1k you can have. Needs cleaned, but works great.
