Marvin's in Atmore is expecting a shipment tomorrow - if anyone wants the number, it's 251-368-8393 and you can get on a list if you call. They're an "off brand" but hey...

can you chain it to your truck? Can you get your truck into your back yard?

I'll be running mine either on back porch or in garage... garage is fine if you keep the garage door open... you're not gonna be running it 24 hours a day anyway, so just open the garage when you want to run it.

Ok ya'all Sue has been generously offered us to use her generator again, so we will be safe with our tanks again as long as we do not blow away. My offer goes out to everyone again, if you need a coral sitter, get ahold of me. We saved all of ours and Sue's last year, and pray that is the same case this year. I am about to make lots of room for anyone who needs it, will give mine time to aclimate before the big day also.

Yeah , garage is fine, just close the door to the garage, and open your garage door. You could even put a cheapo box fan behind it to blow the fumes out the garage door if you're worried about it. I wouldn't think you need to bolt it down, you'll be home while it's running anyways.

Get some gas cans, if you don't have them. Home depot has a 4-pack of 5 gallon cans. Oh.. and some 30wt sae oil, to change it after the 1st five hours or so.

I already got two 5 gallon containers of gas, and filled 'em up about a month ago, wooohoo! I don't know if I have any regular 30w oil handy tho, but I do have plenty of 10-30w which should be really same as 30w when it's up to temp.

Well, it moved more to the east, which puts it right smack on top of me and Drew. CRAP. The only thing we can hope for now is that it moves further east. Please oh please move east.......

Great idea, I will chain it to the axle of the car and open the garage half way, point a fan at the garage door. Nah on the truck in the backyard, took a year for the grass to grow back after it got stuck.

I need to go to the state store and get some "fixin's"

still way too early to tell, since it hasn't crossed over Cuba, but current track makes it Ivan #2?

Here it is, getting here faster and a little east: *starts crying*

Hopefully it will go over cuba to slow it down some

That would rock. Let us hope it goes to Texas.

But that would put all of us on the bad side of the hurricane, which is now a CAT 2.

Melissakins · Post by **Melissakins** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 11:33 am

yeah, we don't want it to switch directions and go west

That would be "Bad"
