HURRICANE --NEIGHBORS

 TOMMY , JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW I 'LL KEEP ALL MY NEIGHBORS IN MY PRAYERS. TAKE CARE AND  KEEP YOUR GAS CANS FULL. OUR NEIGHBOR DOWN THE ROAD HAS GATHERED MUCH OF HIS CORN.. THE GRAIN TRUCKS HAVE BEEN RUNNING CONSTANTLY.{KATRINA FLATTENED HIS CORN 3 YRS AGO] TWO GUNS ,HOW ARE YA'LL COMING WITH THE CROPS?   MOST  EVERYONE  WILL BE EFFECTED BY THIS ONE IF IT HITS WHERE THEY SAY.GOOD LUCK FRIENDS!!!BORDERCOLLIE

   Soybeans is all that's left, they are fixin' to start back today on harvesting them, hope to finish up before the storm, just a praying ~~~ Got knocked out for a few days of a surprising rain-storm ( 2 1/2 inches ), that come out of nowhere !!!

                  ~~~~~~ Two Guns ~~~~~~

i sure hope this thing changes it's direction  the red dot is where i live and the red line is where the eye is projected to pass. 

i sure do have everything i can filled well everything but my 55 gallon drumms and if it looks like it 's gonna stay on this path i'm gonna go fill them because we will need the fuel for the car and the generators for a few weeks like after katrina. 

 well i went a few minutes ago to top the tank off in my car and they shut the pumps off about two cars after me  they say they have to leave enough gas in the tanks for emergency cars and trucks if needed  so with the gas in my generator and cans i probably have a taotal of about 40  gallons right now and my generator can run 14 hours on a full load but i only plan on running it for a few hours just enough to keep things cool in the freezer. i have a 4 20 lbs bags of ice in the deep freezer that i am gonna put into a ice chest and use as a ice box and i'll transfer all my shrimp to two deep freezers if i have to and just run them and let the other three defrost. i have 4 car batteries charging right now that way i can run something off my power inverter too like fans tv's or other small stuff instaed of sucking juice from the generator.

    Hey my coonass buddy,

         better be a fillin' up the 'old milk jugs, and makin' yourself some ice while things are a running good, yea >>>

 man it sure ain't lookin good for me  they done moved the track tight over my house  so that puts the damn eye comin right on top of me. i'm filling up every thing i got with water right now . i'm not really worried about  the ice cause i have the generator so i can make some ice if needed while it'e runnin  but i did get 4 20 lbs bags  that should hold for 5 days in my 120quart chest   and as the water bottle epmty i'm gonna fill them with water and freeze them and throw them into the cooler too if needed . hey feel free to give me a call during the storm to checkup  but if i don't answer don't be surprised i have a bad habit of falling asleep during them.lol i'm gonna go out this afternoon and snap some pictures and make a video of what it looks like now and then i'll make another of what it looks like after .i did the same thing for katrina and man it was like night and day.oh well gotta go things to do . i'll be back.later.

well i'll be head to my brothers house in thibodaux in a few hours to sit out the storm and hopefully be back in my house tomorrow . the only people around town right now are news crews police and national guard troops they are ecpecting a direct hit on terrebonne parish .see ya the flip side. 

 The south coast is in our prayers. I spent two seperate weeks in Pass Christian (Near Gulfport) rebuilding homes. I can't help but think of that area and the people we where working with. Hang in there.

Them folks down south of us, ya'll are in our prayers.

I certainly wish all you guys in the path of this storm the best of luck! It sure doesn't sound good.

Good Luck to you too Two Guns. Even up here, our county was declared a disaster last time..we were lucky... we had power after 10 days. I hope your family the best .And to Tommy, I hope the best for you and your family too. I know what is ahead of you.I know how folks acted when it looked like the end of the world was coming last time  .. be careful down there   I know it will be rough. At least this time the Guard is there{I hope},. I hope your road home will be  cleaned up soon so you can return. Although the storm is going west of Mississippi, We have  winds forcast here to be 40-70 mph so we may lose power  tomorrow late although I believe we will get mostly rain.. It just depends on what side of the winds a person is on as to the damage done. Every tree we lost last time was blown  to the south. So if  any of you others have time in the am  ,check the wind forcast and protect property accordingly  We will be closing up the shutters and checking the generator just in case and cleaning ditches for sure .As a side note on our neighbor bought 4000 gallons of diesel so they could continue rolling  on the corn  gathering this weekend  and it was going up $0.10 an hour because of the Hurricane  it was delivered at $3.56 non taxable farm Thurs. Good Luck and God Bless ..  Bordercollie

   Thanks So Much Bordercollie ~~~~

     As you know, we are in Concordia Parish, and yes, Concordia Parish is awfully low lying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Yesterday, the Sheriff over here had prisoners ( Inmates ) from two of our local prisons systems, doing the sandbagging to help prevent flooding when it shows up. They also had the prisoners in the ditches cleaning up debris and limbs that would slow down or clogg up water flow. Late yesterday evening , they were blowing beaver dams also to make sure everything was were it could flow.

    Also, we are on the Mississipppi / Louisiana border, right on the banks of the Mississippi River. The Sheriff over in Adams county, just issued a curfew effective as of 6:00pm this afternoon. As of now, I understand our Sheriff, doesn't want to do the curfew thing right now ~~~~

   Went out to the farm yesterday, and brought in the RTV, just in case I need it here.  Full of fuel, and ready to go to face the world !!!!!

Just a short note keeping in mind and prayers all our Forum friends that live in the coastal areas affected by Gustov.  I hope you and your families and friends have been spared and your property is also secure.   Thinking of y'all during this storm.

a RTV wannabe, Keifer 

 I hope all is well with you folks down your way.coobie
