there have been people stopping and taking the wood for firewood and one guy has been cutting the trunk down and taking it so I don't think you have to worry about having it hauled away.

leave at curb things just go away...

I was hoping micro would post the pre-cleanup pics but he said he was having problems with his camera so we may never see them

Dude, thanks!

yml.nospamplease@nospam.yml.com — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:21:32 EST

hope? maybe ....

Thanks for the recommendation to go to Calgary. The IceFields parkway was beautiful. It's definitely worth the ride.

Sounds like you had a great weekend in Prince George!

I do believe that there is, in fact, hope for you.

This has been by far the most difficult one for me to write.

Damn. You guys rock. I don't know what to say.

If it weren't for you guys, my trip would be over now and I'd have to fly back.

Thank you ...

we had Wendy,Micro, my Dad and myself

posted some more pics around the neighborhood

micro took some pics of the backyard and I took some this morning after the clean up

when I get home we'll get some of these other pics posted.

Who all helped today or did you do that all by yourself?

yml.nospamplease@nospam.yml.com — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 22:09:58 EST

Holy shit, you guys rock.

Dinner. scotch. beer. iced tea. whatever. it's on me.

If Wendy wants to front it I'll repay her as soon as I get back or she can just deduct it from her rent. I'm not going to be back until August 14th or so.

I don't know about rocking feels more like we got hit by rocks

cell phone service is also spotty around college park we must have had a cell tower damaged

- I thought someone switch my cell with an I-phone 4...

48th ave power is back up

yermo's backyard has been cleaned, debris has been moved to the street
most of the fence has been put back up

there are sections which use to be fence behind the cottage which wore so rotten there is nothing I could do with them.

yermo you need some new fence - I'm working with sand here

if anyone needs firewood there is lots of oak, some on yermo's side some over on the house that Ann use to rent.

I took what I could but the pieces that are left are so large I couldn't move them even with the blue truck.

my dad just said the broken off pole has been replaced
and pepco crew is attaching the main lines to it

this still leaves 2 more poles plus all the individual lines that go off to the houses to put back up.

yml.nospamplease@nospam.yml.com — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:19:42 EST

Yea, read about that on washpost.com

lance.nospamplease@nospam.vetsclub.umd.org — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:12:31 EST

didn't know you had a chainsaw

other news according to Baltimore news there was one fatality in college park

this was along Rhode Island Ave at Odessa Road which is the road that goes up to the state police station.

There is a chainsaw, a Stihl, in the shed behind the garage.

Propane refill ordered for tomorrow.

Thanks!

lance.nospamplease@nospam.vetsclub.umd.org — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:57:37 EST

Propane:

your generator has been running since the power went out which was about 3;30 PM sunday

my dad just called it's still running

pepco is still working on the poles

I don't know how much propane you have but once pepco has the pole up & the big trucks out of here. you may want to schedule a refill tomorrow or wednesday
but not today no way to get a propane truck down the street.

yml.nospamplease@nospam.yml.com — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:45:55 EST

Cool! Thanks!

Done. I'm going to Calgary. There are just too many things pointing in that direction ...

ian.nospamplease@nospam.radix.net — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:15:03 EST

yml.nospamplease@nospam.yml.com — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:01:03 EST

Thanks for the suggestion!

I was thinking I would rather see Calgary than Edmonton. But I'll have to see what kind of cycle shops are there. I need tires again. I have 6k on this new set already.

yml.nospamplease@nospam.yml.com — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:59:33 EST

You guys rock.
