We are still here! We evacuated to Orlando. Got back here 01:00 Monday
morning. House did well just a little damage, trees did not do well at
all. We're all ok and thankful for life and health. We just last night
got a generator on line, so we have power today. We got some clean up to
do. Pottable water and power are out, they say it may be anywhere from a
week or more until we get them back.

We couldn't leave untill thursday around 11:15 am because our syncro's
left cv's gave out, so spent two days trying to remady the. I had all
the parts, just not a press to get the inner joint off! The area was
deserted as I drove around in our little Fox to find someone who could
press it off. PTL finaly found a guy who when he heard seven souls and
two dogs were depending on that shaft did it for free!

Van did well and also pulled a small trailer with no problems. Before
we, I had to take the tires and rims off the 81 L and put them on the
syncro because I knew the weight in the van would be too much for the
tires that were on the syncro.

Both 81L and the 85 vans came through very well despite a tree falling
side the 85.

We will not be resubscribing to the list for a while yet, the last thing
I need to be doing is setting allday at the c-puter!
