gwgdog66 23 #1 Posted May 11, 2010 Not intending to make lite of very serious situations, but....I'm starting a new tradition. Everytime Tornado's give me a close call, I'm posting this video. The good Lord looks after fools and idiots, and I was in both lines when the certificates were handed out. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F...QL2YQKo&h=50cc8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tgranthamfd 29 #2 Posted May 11, 2010 Was they next door, next street, or down the road this time? I had just came in from being 60' up in the air when the hail storm hit us. All I would have had to duck under would have been a 3' x 3' parking lot light fixture atop a 63' pole. From the size of the hail, I'm glad they came out and me to get my S@*t and get inside. I got the equipment parked, supplies loaded, supplies unloaded, hands washed, and got to the break room when it hit. Made it by about 15 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tgranthamfd 29 #4 Posted May 12, 2010 You should go check on the CL ad at I 40 and Anderson Rd. see if "or first reasonable offer" has come down. It was a maroon stripe 8 speed with some numbers on the hood but he didn't say what is was. His $ amount was high for the pictures he had up, but he did say it ran. I think that area got hit pretty hard, didn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You always tell me about these CL deals between pay days The newer one was sold at the dealership that took over the deaership that My 75 C-160 was sold at. He retired last year and closed the doors.

Good to hear she was only scared, could have been worst, also good to know you have Oklahoma connections. If you ever get down this way you should let us know, maybe we could all meet. There are 4 or 5 members in the OKC area and I am about 70 miles south west of there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
