Y'all be careful out there. My wife and I are hunkering down and riding it
out. We're outside of the evacuation zones so we ought to be okay.

Work is going well. I'm doing some good. I'm starting to get re-established
and maybe next year I can play more GMC.

It's supposed to be coming up I95 from Sebastian to Savannah. How far inland is the evac zone in FL?

It is nice to hear from you. It is unfortunate that it took hurricane. I was wondering how you were doing.

Wow. Right in the middle of this posting this we had a power failure and we in Nw Indiana are no where near that hurricane.

Stay safe and move to high ground if there is any in FL.

Don't count on quick restoration 'cause I saw ALL the repair equipment on
the interstates headed south.

I have been working my ASS off for the past two and a half years... Largest
plaintiffs firm on the planet wants to open a new practice area and I'm on
the ground floor... This is my shot at the big time. :)

I have two direct resort staff and am about to get a third. I've helped my
clients get over 2.5M in benefits, and probably multiples of that going
forward. So ifs going well but I have little time or money to pick my GMC
hobby back up. I expect that to change over the next year or two whenorenof
my cases start popping and I pay down my student loans. :)

We are as safe as we can reasonably be, and we have multiple plans for
getting out afterwards if it's necessary.

Have Bounds pick it up, send a direct pipeline of funds and have him deliver it back all shiny and new in a year or so. It''s the time /money, altitude/airspeed thing.

We are clear of the storm here in the Orlando/Lake Mary area.

Prepared for the worst but had no damage that I can see. Never lost
power.

I talked to a friend who is a lineman for the local power company. He was driving to Georgia in a service truck. When he arrives they will marshal them outside of the predicted impact area and decide tomorrow where to send them. It will probably be Georgia but could be Florida.


Colonel Ken told me on Wednesday that they do not have hurricanes in Georgia so he will probably go to Florida.

I did not talk to him long enough to get many details. I assume that they will be over in the center of the state or visiting Colonel Ken in the western part until the storm passes.

Alex posted on FB that they left the GMCMI rally and went to see parents in Connecticut but only stayed 2 hours and headed to Florida. They are pretty close to the beach so we're keeping our fingers crossed that their house and shop are undamaged.
