Riding the aftermath of Hurricane Irene in style....
« on: August 28, 2011, 09:47:36 pm »
well Hurricane Irene went through today like a woman scorned...  I have a Phoenix Cruiser with a full tank of potable water, 55 gals of gas, satellite tv and operational bathroom facilities.  My neighbors....not so much.... I may even have to put the Phoenix in operation tomorrow as a substitute insurance office to take insurance claims because as of now our insurance office has no power ..... I dare say we are the most prepared insurance office in town. Drive my phoenix to the office, turn on generator and turn on mobile devices and serve our clients. Yes!!!!  People really complain about insurance, but the first call or stop they make after something like this is the insurance guy. My home phone has been ringing all day...

Count your blessings all, a sore knee or sick parents or a tough day at work is nothing compared to people whose lives have been up-
rooted due to hurricanes and or flooding...The devestation in thier voice is unreal....

Tom:

I am baaack....

We are officially back on with power, water, tv, internet...  At one point we had half the county without power.  School was supossed to start last Monday but will now start on Tues after labor day hopefully.  One of the schools still has no power... 

Anyway, lots of claims and lots of work but things are looking up.  Used the Phoenix all week. I even had tv because I have a satellite .  Now to hoe the Cruiser out and put her away. I do have one problem though.  The idle on engine goes up to 1500 rpm and then down to 500. Must be an air leak. I have to call the Ford dealer tomorrow to schedule an appt to have that checked. Gotta love the warranty...

We're Baaaak!!!!!!!!!!!!

Decided to cut our trip short and head to Mattapoisett, MA to ride out Irene with the sisters. We got power back on Thursday--5 days without and phones, internet and tv today.

The Cruiser was a life saver! We put all their frozen stuff in our freezer. George's sister is on oxygen at night so she slept in the PC with her oxygen running. She was able to get portable oxygen on Wed.

We plan to head to Danforth Bay NH on Tuesday and "crash" the reunion and meet up with folks we met along the way.
