We got a hurricane. We lost power and part of 3 barns on sunday. Real bad. and it came real fast, i put on a heavy coat and chainsaw helmet and was running around in 60mph winds to rescue helpless gas cans and sheep waterers, and the one running tractor. i ran out there, jumped on it, dumped the clutch and stalled it. Second time the thing took off and managed not to get hit by anything flying around there and i managed to get it in the garage.
This will probabally be my only chance to get online for a while. we lost power along with 200,000 others in the area and they will be working on getting it back to cities and towns before they get to us. I kinda like it, although i"d like a radio and a shower.
Everything in both freezers is a loss, but all the tractors are fine. I was in the garage building birdhouses when it hit. We"re doing fine, we"ve been eating fast food and alot of tomatoes and apples. A country boy can survive!!!!!! This accually is kinda fun, although i miss my friends here at YT. They will restore power on saturday, and i hope to see everyone then.
I know we got off REAL easy compared to others. who else got hit???
