Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
We (Tampa) got spaired... others were obviously not so fortunate.

Keep those affected in your prayers.

I have some photos of the aftermath in Bartow, just a few miles from here.

The occasional hurricane sure beats snow. and living in canada

people are funny . you mention canada , they think igloo.

I can ride year round . It snows in my city on average 'bout 3 days a year . No snow is more common than gettin the shid.

besides, snow doesn't destroy yer home , or kill shid loads of people.... anyway....

you live in ct an' yer telling me I get too much snow.....too funny.

Ya, living in canada sucks....

we have amazing health care,rarely do you get shot at while shopping at Home Depot(yer DC sniper) , carpet fliers(Terrorists) hardly ever fly hijacked planes into our buildings , we've never had a draft(never needed one) we just volunteer when nessecary, if you want to you can live longer in Canada,hardly anybody up here carries guns they just aren't needed , anyway.....
when I asked why people live in a place that quite frequently leaves you homeless(nice pics by the way people)
it wasn't to start a border war , more just morbid curiosity.

Next, I plan to ask why those morons live in ....

"Tornado Alley" .... hehehehe


hey , hav a good 1.....hopefully a "Natural Disaster Free" 1.


P.S. I heard they are building some really nice townhomes at the base of Mount Etna....
you may want to look into those.....hehehehe

Sorry But Canada Kicks ass... Yeah they are quiet, Yeah Canada has some odd apples. But I'll tell ya this, I have yet to meet a Canadian I didn't like and respect. Well educated... (OK At least Intelligent) polite, and hell nothing beats Mugging Canadians when they come down to Florida on vacation. Something really nice in knowing that they aren't packin...

Kidding Kidding...

On of my favorite women of all time was from Canada, she was blonde and really knew how to keep you warm on cold nights... Fuggin A, I dig Canada, Beatiful country... And a steadfast friend of the US no matter what kinda fugged up acid rain and other BS we send their way.

Besides, RCMP freakin Rock...

Accept for Quebec... Nothin Worse than a North American Cheese Eatin Surrender Monkey...

Oh, Yeah I am back in Tampa Now... The wife and I rode out Charlie last night at her folks house. Had a Tarnado rip up their neighborhood a little bit. At least that is what we are figuring because the "Hurricane" winds were only at about 80-90mph. We lost power at about 8PM I think.

And Yeah, Rev feels kinda guilty for re-aiming that storm... Tell you what seems like that bastard just locked onto Rev, followed me through Orlando, than slapped around TitusVille and the rest a little bit.

BUT, In the middle of the wind howlin and trees snapping... I took a Swim... I just felt the urge to go thumb my nose at the storm, pulled on my trunks, and went and hopped in the pool... Felt kinda bizarre, but then again, was an interesting experiance... Besides, water stops projectiles pretty well...

So yeah, I spent the morning behind a chain saw... Here's what I learned...
1. Rev needs to move back up north because this heat and humidity shid is killing me.

2. Oak is a BEEEYOTCH to cut and is heavier than hell... OMFG, I have never spent so long with a chain saw for so little progress.

3. Fire Ants don't give a shid about your purpose or good intentions, they will still bite the fug outta you.

4. Fire ants keep biting when you hop into a the swimming pool.

5. A cold shower still feels good as hell after sweating your ass off all day...

6. It's still funny to smirk at the ####### across the street here in Tampa that spent all day Thursday Fitting plywood to every window in his house...


Anyhoo, thanks for your thoughts folks... I still cannot believe I drove all the way to the other side of the penninsula just to line myself up with this storm... My heart goes out to those further South that just got absolutely hammered.... So far 5 dead, more missing...

 

[Revlis]

why do you want to live there?

are you fuggin' nuts?

 or just plain stoopid?


  I dont understand. Your lives revolve around ...the weather.

  Someone asked for a prayer.    I'll say a prayer. I hope you Bozo's grow a fuggin' brain.

  Rev....   move to Seatle...you can watch Mariner an' Seahawk games....

   AND RARELY WILL YOUR HOUSE GET BLOWN OVER .


  Florida BLOWS.   in more ways than 1....

ONLY ONE REASON... WIFE'S Job Is here and she has a whoop ass Career going... She makes more than twice what I do as a Sr. Graphic Specialist IV (Read as I sold my artistic soul to the Man) shid... I'm a Metalsmith for Christs sake...

If it wasn't for the wife I would be here. When I was getting out the Air Force I even Said "Anywhere but Florida" No offense to those that like it here, but other than winter riding? There is NO GOOD REASON to live here. Ok OK there are a few...

1. Hotties everywhere...
2. Some pretty good folks.
3. Property is affordable...



BTW, anyone hear anything from Howlin Mad? He got a hell of a Welcome to Orlando!!!

RSD, There is a pretty good chance I might end up in Seattle, Portland, Denver, or Atlanta. If i make it up to the Northwest, I promise I am going to come up there and Wrestle .... Uh Your Wife for a Guiness...

It would be cool as hell to meet you, Iced, and MSF... I miss Mountains, and real Forests... I was born in the mountains, and I really miss them....

, and hell nothing beats Mugging Canadians when they come down to Florida on vacation.  Something really nice in knowing that they aren't packin...  

  Kidding Kidding...

ha ha true I don't pack but I do take martial arts, just as long as I put a hit on your ass before you get your weapon out

joking !! I do owe you one for taking our Stanley Cup you know

Good to see you Floridians in good spirits over the storm, some of the pictures on the news are horrible and I feel for those that lost so much, particularly all the seniors in Punta Gorda and Fort Meyers. Terrible.

 

[PACIFICBUSA]

good to know you folks are ok.

 

[fear]

used to live in ct, couldnt take the expense adn weather anymore, now i live in beautif west palm beach FL and i love it

i would be willing to bet that more people die every year from snow caused accidents than hurricanes. i got insurance, bring on the next one!


easy for me to say, it missed my house by 40 miles

In a couple of months we'll see posts about how to best winterize your busa. My advice is move to Florida and ride it. We'll see how bad Florida is when half the group has their bike in the garage just waiting for the temp to get above freezing so they can keep the bike up, meanwhile we've been riding ours around all winter and the temp is hovering around 70 to 80 F in the daytime.
