Thank You so much and welcome to the madness... We don't take much seriously around here so pretty much anyone and anything is fair game...

I almost didn't get on the chopper but I finally got ahold of Deb and she said she was ok and to go to work, one just cause and two there probably wasn't anything I could do, and it is an 11 hour drive back home... Hopefully the predicted storms tonight are not as bad. A friend in the area had 13 inches of rain in four hours.

Too early for swimming pool jokes ?

It's true, nothing you can do... hope it turns out well, not too much damage

I'm good now, might have reached through the internet and kicked you in the knee yesterday...

Little water in the front door, completely rearranged out landscaping and we need new fencing... not the swing around pointy fencing either... the kind that keep critters out of the yard...

Glad everything is ok! Thankfully we didn't get much rain around here, but further north it definitely got pretty crazy. Saw aerial footage of a bunch of cars stuck on rr12 in San Marcos due to flooding. Got really bad in Wimberley and New Braunfels too. Stay safe out on the rig.

So it looks like I'll be running in a speed event this weekend on Sunday in Aransas County.

It's a runway exhibition. I'll post more as I learn more about it... But it's a 60ish mph rolling start and I'm not sure of the distance yet... Yeah, I know. Not much info... I was invited and signed up.

Lol...
