Did I ever show you the pic of my Charger winning the burnout contest?

How did all that white smoke come about with no pavement? Super cool
photo!

(Hi Twist, the back tires are on a big ole steel plate that has been
watered down right before the burnout..there's no traction at all.)

Ha,,,,,betcha that smelled like, like,,,,,,big fun. Only thing missing
was the RF drag race on another launching pad.

Speaking of pics, my buddy was here form West Palm (evacuee from Jeanne)
and when the damn storm came here (we are still without electric and I'm
on a generator so I probably won't be around again until the electric
gets turned on) he took some super pics of the palm trees on my property
during the eye-wall. When he gets back home and sends them to me, I'll
post them.

(Cool, do you have a generator down there for when you lose power?

Absolutely. Using a Troy-Built now..only 3550 watts, 6.75 HP....but it's
plenty enough to run the fridge, clothes washer, big screen (wife can't
do without her 24 hour local news channel), box fan, cb/hammie radio and
the most important of all,,,,,the coffee maker in the morning.I'm going
to buy a quieter (and larger) Honda model in the future, maybe a prtable
A/C unit, too. This Troy-Bilt is way too loud. Kind of neat when a large
load is placed on it though, it never chugs, just "shifts gears" by
changing the pitch of the engine. It delivers excellent performance..too
bad it wasn't quieter. BTW, our power was restored late last night,,many
still without power.

Yea, I have a 5K that is really LOUD! It works fine but you can't be
near it because of the noise. My friend had a Honda at the Bristol
Nascar race that we ran 3 campers off of. You could sit right next
to that thing it was so quiet. Really a nice unit.

Glad you got your power back.
