STFU - St. Fu the patron saint of Ninja's

My skills have been honed from the recent disasters. My powers have certainly doubled, if not tripled. I am the 40CC CHAINSAW NINJA!

Lovely Hurricane Rita has decided that one week of electrical service is too much. Rita forced down a few more trees to try and isolate my family from the comforts of running water, lights, AIR CONDITIONING and the coffee pot! Rita also felt that close to 3 feet of water down my road would be our demise!

But the Chainsaw Ninja is prepared for all she could throw at us. Downed trees were no match for my well oiled chain of destruction! 30 gallons of gas and generator running brought back the basic comforts for my family. An aluminum canoe provides us safe transport from the island that my home was becoming. The family truckster was parked on the high ground allowing us to travel for supplies once we paddled to it.


Enough of that stuff...

We are without power again because a few trees took out our new power lines down my street. We also have a few feet of water still in my street. It got to within about 25 feet of my house this time, the highest it has been since we moved there about 10 years ago. It will be a while for them to restore power because of the high water still. No real damage to anything, just inconvience of no power etc.
