Me and my Vipers
Please say a prayer for my family and my Vipers. We are down here on the sea wall in Galveston Texas waiting for hurricane Ike to come ashore.

A note you can read when you get back, I hope soon. Was in New Orleans 3 days after the big one in the 1960's. Also in Brownsville a few years later after a big blow there. I chartered a boat to see what was left of Padre Island. When we got there the only standing structures left were a few foundation systems, everything else was simply gone. Glad you left the island, poop happens. Get back to us when home and powered up. ENJOY

RE: Me and my Vipers
Glad to hear your family, home, and Vippers are safe (for the most part).
Just got an email from Dub, he is living off a generator also, but his blew up. Said he didn't know anything about small engines
