I think the insurance company needs to go check your ball peen hammer for fingerprints.
Holy smokes, I never knew you got that kind of weather. I don't think I've ever seen one 3/8 of an inch. Do those kind of hail storms just dump really heavy and one little spot, like a downpour? I think if hail damaged things all throughout a city insurance companies would raise their rates through the roof.
...speaking of roofs, how do your shingles hold up with those ice boulders bouncing on it?
They have it figured out. RV insurance is quadruple here than what it is there for this very reason.
Yanks 5 to 4! Exciting game. McKinney for MVP with one homer and two great plays in the outfield. KC had a chance to tie it up in the top of the 9th but Waters got tagged out at third… A lotta thrills.
Yikes! Hate to get hit in the head with one of those bonkers!
Both of my houses took a hit, plus the siding and windows on the storm side. The pisser is now that will hold up the sale of the other house until insurance kicks in and repaired. I already have a buyer for the other house.
Both are last in their division and the Royals could not beat a high school team.
All true. And yet the stands were filled and roaring… A loyal bunch… And a good game…
Judge is still out but he took a few swings during practice before the game… We’ll see.

Worked on more laundry-- a-hole cat made it necessary. So I waited until he was peacefully sleeping and then grabbed him while saying "rarrrr" and startled him. His response was to cling to me and want to cuddle though.
Mom wanted me to go into town to pick up RXs but ran into a snag. Apparently there was some sort of storm that knocked down a bunch of smaller trees. Got TWO down in the same spot on my road.
They don't look that big so I thought, Ok, I can push that top one. Nope. Branch from it is sticking down into the dirt of the hill. It wobbled but sprung back and wouldn't move. Bottom one is oak and wouldn't budge even a cm. Way too heavy. Called the parish sheriff's dept to ask who to call since we are stranded and my brother needs to get to work. Lady said she'd alert the police jury for my area. Hopefully they will send someone out, but we've got thunderstorms. Not raining in my area but it is aways off. Probably won't get to the store before pharmacy closes though.
I guess I should take the time to go get the rest of the cases of water brought in.

Well based on the picture I assume at least rush hour traffic is not a problem..
looks like a job for a rope and a truck.
This road reminds me of some of the roads in Louisiana we dealt with after Hurricane Katrina. Our Red Cross mobile feed units came to me saying people were shooting at them while driving down roads like this. I told them to stop feeding in that area, which would starve out the idiots. Within two days, folks put their guns down and we were able to feed once again. Then again, having a contingent of National Guardsmen escorting them, who were locked and loaded, made easy work for the volunteers.
The people in New Orleans were concerned because the police went door to door and confiscated guns. A court ruled it illegal but the people never got their guns back.

Stopped in to a garage sale yesterday. Scored an 80lb roller with case for $10. So deals out there.
Tried to sell mine 3-4 years ago. Got zero offers. I would give it away now to get rid of it. Still have a carpet cart too and two sets of installation tools. Not worth anything around here. Young guys are not getting into the trade.
Clean too! Nice!

I used to buy cheap carpet tools on ebay to double up on tools. Haven't done that in 12 years.
I bought a bunch of mine in pawn shops. Installers would need money in the winter and sell their second set. Bought a Roberts Jr stretcher for $100. Best bargain was a Roberts seaming iron for $2 at a flea market. Used it for 30+ years. Gave $35 for a carpet cart many years ago and still have it.
Yeah, there are some dumb people in Louisiana.
I eventually called the parish sheriff's office and asked them who I should call as I was stranded and couldn't move the trees myself. The clerk said she'd call the police jury and ask them to send a road crew after taking down the information on the location. Road crew showed up about an hour later and cut the trees into chunks and threw them in the ditch.
Today I was useless. Other than cooking for Mom, I felt a bit lightheaded when I tried to bend or pick stuff up. Kept stumbling and dropping things so today was not a cleanup day.

That's a steal. Those are really nice for the smaller, upstairs deals.
