Thank's for the concern Muddy!!! We're all fine. Still without power (except for the generator) but we're hangin in there. Hookem down, And the Texan would probally definatley win! -Ike

Well, We came out all right! We only had a few limbs down in our yard, and 1 small tree down, on the southeast corner. One guy's place I was watching for (He took off to North Carolina.) Lost 5 trees. 1 came with in 1 foot of hitting his house. It snapped halfway up. Another 5 feet and he'd have a tree in hos bedroom. We've been with out power since about midnight, when the storm hit. Our water came back 3 days ago. We hooked up our generator to our breaker box, so as long as we stay away from the 220s we'll be fine. I've been working 10-15 hours everyday in diferent neighborhoods, hauling and chainsawing trees for people. Thank's for all the prayers!! -Ike

I'm almost exclusivley Ariat. I used to have a paid of CAT work boots but I wore them out. Wolverine is a pretty good boot. I like my Ariat ATS for workin, (they make a lace up too.) and the Ariat Cobalt for everything else. The pair of Ariats I have right I've worn almost every day for the past 5-6 months, and they're still going strong!! Tony Lama is a noce boot too. Current Work boots: http://www.ariat.com/products_detail.aspx?pcid=9&cid=2&scid=5&pid=831 Everythng else boots: http://www.ariat.com/products_detail.aspx?pcid=9&cid=2&scid=57&pid=480 Next pair of work boots (or I might stick woth what I already have.): http://www.ariat.com/products_detail.aspx?pcid=9&cid=2&scid=17&pid=188 I don't like steel toe boots. -Ike

What else could he have done? How many other stadiums were open that night?? Almost half!!! me and some friends were listening to it on a radio, the night Zambrono no hit us, our 'home crowd' was going NUTS!! All I'm saying is they could have picked a netrual location. Congrats by the way on the Cubs!!! -Ike

Well I guess my Stros may not do it after all. 4 games in 7. What did ya'll think about that milwalkee crap!!! I think Bud Selig has something against the astros. -Ike Go BoSox!!

If you're talking to the baseball genius, the Astros played (and lost) in the World Series in 2005. The only NL team to never make the WS is the Washington Nationals/Montreal Expos. Yep. I went to EVERY home playoff game that year (2005) except game 3 of the World Series. We lost game 4 o course but i talked to Burlehere (spelling?) and a few other pitchers from their bullpen. -Ike

Nothing beats a glass bottle. -Ike

Just after 6pm Winds are getting stronger. 87* Cloudy, it looks like it's fixin to pour. This'll probally be my last update for at least a week. We're expecting to loose power for a while. I'm gonna stay up and watch it come in. Maybe even head over to my buddies house and have an IKE party! Stay safe ya'll -Ike

Ya. I was checking out 4wheel parts and Jc whitney. I found a suspension lift kit for around $500 I think it includes shocks and leaf springs. I mget that. I saw a few budget kits as well. Thank's for the help! -Ike

12:30 Winds picked up some, It's kinda cloudy now. -Ike

About $3.39, same as it's been................ -Ike

Temp: 86.4 F Clear skies Calm wind to the NW Humidity: 66% Heat Index: 93 F As the crow flies we're 75 miles from Galveston. Expected to loose power for 2+ weeks. See ya'll -Ike

Like I said. EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES!!! ;D ;D ;D 'Stros in the playoffs bro! And in answer to your question: I DO know a thing or two about baseball. I played for 7 years and have been following the Astros & MLB extensivley for the past 5-6 years. I DO NOT claim to know everything about the subject. The cubs are a good team (duh ) we'll just see how the series goes. (Which I might add has been postponed.) Anyways, a playoff spot is a playoff spot, and I don't care how we get there. Remember the Marlins? Wildcard team-----WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS! Again, no disrespect intended. -Ike

He gon' use a torch, some hockey pucks and duct tape. Yee haw y'all!!! ;D That don't sound like that bad of an idea! -Ike

Well, I guess I won't. :DI don't know too much about lifts, I'm more o a Exhaust and Tire guy. Do you have any suggestions, I don't want too much just 2-4 inches of lift. Without breaking the bank. -Ike

3 games -Ike

EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES!!! I guess the NL Central leading cubs are just one of thoose 'easy' teams. -Ike P.S. again, no hard feelings, or disrespect intended.

Watch it happen -Ike

By my schedule, they have about 2/3 of the month left to make up 4 games. They are SMOKIN HOT in case you haven't noticed. Just wacth, Astros in the playoffs bro, live with it! See you in october. -Ike p.s. no hard feelings

I'll definatley pray for them!!! What you said about life insurance is RIGHT ON!! Make sure you have plenty!!!! Especially the younger ones, It's cheaper when your young. One of the first things I'm gonna do when I get married is get a BIG life insurance policy! -Ike

Heck ya!!! Git R Done! -Ike

GO ASTROS!! I don't know if ya'll heard the news yet, but the ASTROS are going to the playoffs. Just thought I'd let ya'll know. -Ike

Hope you have plenty of plywood & a generator. Hang in there man! Good Luck -Ike

Thank's a TON!!! My exhaust will meet all of thoose requirments when I get done with it. So I should be good to go! Thank's again!!! -Ike
