    • Riding With Hurricane Ida ๐ŸŒ€๐Ÿงน

      As you may know there was a very powerful hurricane that struck the south eastern tip of Louisiana just over a week ago.

      @BicycleBuck and I happen to live not too far from where it made landfall, but luckily we got the western outer bands of the storm. Small cities just east of me like Thibodaux and Houma are devastated and still without electricity. Also to mention gas is scarce as well as food, but is ever slowly coming back. Trees, down poles, roofing, and fences are everywhere.

      Im not going to post pictures to keep the owners privacy, but my home that I grew up in, the fence is gone and the roof is damaged and some large tree branches are down. Heartbreaking to see the fence that kept me safe and the trees I played under are now gone.

      Where I live at in my newish modular home 30 miles away, I faired a lot better than others, which also makes me sad at the damage just 5 miles east of me and what could of been. The winds had to be over 80 to 100 MPH from the north west, at times I could feel the house shake and howl, the roof sounded like it was tearing off and can hear the roof tiles scrape along the roof and onto the ground.

      The next morning on August 30th I got up to access if I still had a roof and all I lost was a lot of roof tiles, some of the skirt came undone or flew off, broken branches, and windswept trees. The west side of the house and garage is peppered with shredded leaves and the air is heavy of fresh mulch / grass smell.

      The front right section of my roof was the hardest hit, I hammered back the tiles I could salvage. I been having problems with this area, and in fall I plan on scraping it all off to the wood and redo.

      Lots of leaning or broken power poles, theres still about 90% of the population of lafourche and terrebonne is still out of lights

      You can see a tree was uprooted and fell on that F-150!

      There are plenty of National Guard convoys going down the highway in front of my house. I forgot my camera when there was a few Oshkosh Hemtts hauling fuel, water, and cargo... damn. Those things were awesome!

      And thats my adventure of my 1st category 4 hurricane as a homeowner. ๐Ÿ™‚ I dont look forward to experiencing this anytime soon. I've weathered every storm that hit south Louisiana since I was in diapers for hurricane Andrew in 1992!

      Out of all the storms I weathered, this is the most powerful hurricane I experienced and I wasn't even in the center of it! Gustav in 2008 and then Katrina in 2005 would be the other most powerful and damaging hurricanes I been in.

    • RE: Any update on brick man?

      @gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas I'm alive. ๐Ÿ™‚
      I got electricity back on the 1st and cell phones yesterday morning. Still no internet so I'll be a while before I'm back to oppo. I hate typing and browsing on phone. It was a damn powerful hurricane. Winds were strong from the north west and could feel the whole house rattle. Faired alot better than the people east of me ๐Ÿ˜ฅ they have nothing left, it's awful. Missing alot of roof tiles and branches but no real damage. I'll post about it once I can get internet back

    • A Plentiful Harvest ๐ŸŠ

      Went ahead and picked the fruit from my Rio Red grapefruit and orange tree (which the oranges arent that great) before the freeze

      IMG_20221222_151940963.jpg

      3 buckets full of fruit, plus I gave at least a bucket full away and still have grapefruit on the tree!

      Ran out of sheets, but mostly to protect the tree from northerly 20+ mph freezing winds

      IMG_20221222_151922146.jpg

      Best grapefruit I ever had ๐Ÿ˜‹ Ate 6 whole fruits already. Really helps with this cold im having

      Tonight if you look to the south you might see the sky glowing from all the vitamin C I have ๐Ÿ˜‚

    • LEGO Supersonic Jet Show n Tell

      Built a cool LEGO supersonic jet plane. Cant call it a fighter jet, because LEGO is non military ๐Ÿ˜‰ coughcoughStarWars cough

      DSC04249.JPG
      The plane originally calls for 2 large orange rudders on the tips of the wings, but they look wayyy too big and out of place IMO. So I removed them and added a couple of 1x3 curved slope tiles with nav lights under the notch. Looks alot better IMO.

      DSC04246.JPG

      Comes with a stand as well!

      DSC04248.JPG

      landing gear folds down as well

      DSC04251.JPG

      Notice the cockpit is slightly angled. attached to the fuselage with a ball and socket joint.

      Size comparison with the Ferrari.

      Thats why its called a Firearri ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Which reminds me I made a similar creation back in 2015. Larger and complete with an engine

    • Search Lights for me TRX4 Blazer Park Ranger

      Not much of a search and arrest rescue truck if theres no search lights. Injora RC parts finally made some 1" round lights that have brackets.

      DSC04414.JPG

      DSC04416.JPG

      darn things are bright! Also have driving lights but its off. The police lights run on a 9v battery and MytrickRC light controller. Hated the idea of having to drill holes though.
