Storm Damage

Storm Damage
We had a powerful thunderstorm pass through last Wednesday morning at 3:AM. It dropped a large branch onto the house and filled the dog yard with debris. I ended up taking Wednesday off the clean up the mess and patch the torn shingle on the roof. I've still got some damaged gutters to replace, but I had a setback on Saturday and they will have to wait a little longer. I took a full truckload of cutup tree limbs to the Greencycle place on Saturday morning and somewhere between the scales and the dumping area I blew a brake line. I tried to nurse it home, but I came to the conclusion I didn't have enough brake pressure if I had to stop quick and I parked it and called for a tow. Triple A came and got me and dropped me and the truck off at home. I've got it in the shop and I've got the old brake line off and I'll be spending most of my Sunday replacing it.

Thanks Paul! The storm damage is largely cleaned up with the exception of mangled gutters where the tree branch hit the roof. I spent the morning tracking down brake-line parts and I'll start working on it after while. It's sure hot out there today!

Hope you get everything back to normal soon. We had a thunderstorm this afternoon, but it wasn't really close. We just got the rain from it.

Thanks Harriet! More storms tonight! I'm pretty sure we had a funnel cloud pass over us the night my limb came down. The sound of it was very much like a tornado.
