Sincere thanks to GG, Jim and Linkster
 

Greetings from ravaged Pensacola. Ivan really did a number on us down here. My damage was minimal, some roof and privacy fence damage is all I sustained. I am still without power though, but do have a generator. This town is wrecked very very bad. I am not sure if my coffee business will be able to sustain the down time though. I service office and restaurant accounts and many will not re open for a long while. At least I have my adult business to fall back on. I might have to go full time into it.

Secondly I would like to thank Linkster, GG and Jim for enquiring about my health. The phone had not worked and Linkster was the first one to get thru to us. It scared the holy shit out of us when the phone rang. Other than my parents and two friends it was a pleasant surprise to know that people from this board were trying to get a hold of us. You guys are the best. We are healthy and are eating well. Gas is a bitch right now and 90% of the city still is without power.

I never thought I would be so happy to have 56k access again.(I miss my cable dearly). I sure hope to win the Super Bowl pool so I can thank GG and Jim in person. We are still planning on trying to get to Vegas in January as well. Thanks for all the kind words and well wishers.

Now back to cutting down trees...lol

Thank you everyone, We love you all!

soggy((real soggy))lol

Glad to see your all ok :) You were all in our thoughts and prayers since the storm hit

good luck and keep your head up.

Glad to hear that you family and friends made it through. :)

It does suck about the damage to everything. Being without power really sucks even if you do have a generator.

We still have a few places down here without power and we weren't hit anywhere near as bad as the Panhandle was hit. :(

Soggy it's great to see you and your family made it through safe and sound :)

I was so glad to hear from Linkster on Saturday night about you - of course, I think my next question was "Do you have his pick?" :D

Great to hear you survived soggy |bananna| and with minimal damage |pink

|shake| Glade you the family and friends made it through ok Soggy, The rest can be rebuilt or replaced just going to be a pain
Take advantage of all Fema has to offer


My Dads rental (the house I grew up in) got damaged pretty bad during the Paso Robles Earthquake after being vacant for four months he's finale got all the repairs done it's back on the market and he pocketed a few bucks

Good stuff champ. Good to hear that you only sustained minimal damage.

Soggy - just glad you guys are safe - and it'll be great if ya'll can get out to Vegas - would be good to see you again :)

Greenie - sounded like Soggy and I both needed to be up there at your house when I called :)

I've been known to throw the occasional cocktail party :D

Day 7 without power...|angry|

Things are slowly coming back to life here in Pensacola. It will be months before the city completely gets back to some kind of normalcy. I dont think my coffee business is going to make it though. Still numerous accounts of mine are months from opening. I may be contacting some of you to trade links with my LL after I get power and cable back. Just wanted to stop by and say hi and update everyone. Enjoy your A/C tonight for me.LOL

Peace,
