    Thank you Keith, Aaron, and all concerned getting the Creek to flow again. I just canceled my therapist appointment. Going "cold turkey" is hard on us Creek junkies.

    Keith, I’m glad everyone’s ok.
    You could always move your operation to New Mexico. We don’t have any wood to speak of, but we don’t have any hurricanes/tornado’s either!
    Please help support the Creek.

    Thanks Everyone!

    The storm was really just a nuisance, even though there were lots of trees down in our area. Flooding was localized, our yard was saturated from all the rain but no flood damage. The only issue was the loss of power and our Internet connection. I figured no problem when the lights went out and started the generator...but our network connection was down as well and I don't have a way to fix that

    All is well now, mowing took care of the remaining leaves and small branches and our yard looks like nothing ever happened

    Life is good, The Creek is flowing and the shop refrigerator has plenty of cold beer and cokes

    Good to see everyone back. Heard on the radio yesterday that there was flooding and such in the area up there, so I figured that was part of the creek problem.

    Oy...the ONLY good thing about the 'Creek being down is that I took less breaks from the shop. But I don't count that as a good thing since the "shakes" were still there!!

    'Glad you "only" have a bit of clean-up to do, Keith, as these big storms can be so unpredictable.

    I am glad SMC got back online, but I bet a lot more woodworking got done this weekend than normal.

    Talking Glad it's not me!

    Just joined on Thursday. Spent several hours at work with the door cloed reading threads. Went to post a question on Friday and the board's gone! Had me worried there for while.

    Missed you!
