Art, great job on the tractor and blower! Looks pretty Sweet!
Charlie,
Sorry to hear about your loss, that is certainly a blow that neither your wife or yourself want to have to deal with. Having been a fire fighter for over 15 years, It REALLY hurts to respond to calls like this, thankfully your both ok, the other things can be replaced to a certain extent, hopefully they were able to save the good stuff, pictures and things that you both cherish that are NOT replaceable? Like everyone else, wish you well and ask for help if you need it. Look forward to hearing from you again soon after this mess is cleaned up and the two of you start to put your life back together!
I don't do much praying, but when families are faced with the beast destroying their homes and threatening their lives, I pretty much have to do some and a whole lotta hope'n! I am just glad you didn't have about 2 or 3 feet of snow already to add to the horrible situation!
