The spelling is Ponchartrain , cool , you got to tell me where your guest are from , it is a very big Lake 24 miles wide and about 40 miles long , think it is the second biggest Lake in the World , I am on the North Shore , Bayou Lacombe ---------------- we are hunkering down for the hurricane , it is 12.5 ft to the concrete slab and 3 miles inland , they got hitting the coast as a Cat 4 with 140 winds , we might luck out as we might get the edge , if so they have us getting 10-15 inches of rain , 4-7 foot tide surge and winds 80 - 100 mph ------- we just got back from getting supplies , cooking up some stir fried chicken breast and veggies as we speak ----- I seen Houston is a green light to evacuate to , last I seen it was heading to Baton Rouge 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misterclean 421 Posted August 29, 2021 Fish, they live on the south shore........can't remember the name of the small town. I just saw on the weather that it shifted to the east which increased your surge about one foot Hang tight bro. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misterclean 421 Posted August 30, 2021 How are things this morning? If the roads allow travel in your area I can bring you some supplies. Do you need help? I have barrels of gas, chain saws, generator, supplies are plentiful here. Also the owner of Gallery Furniture here in Houston is loading trucks right now to deliver to your area. Supposedly you just ask them and they will help. Call Gallery Furniture I guess and take it from there. Fish, I'm just six hours away? Me and my 16 foot flat bed can be headed your way....just ask. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJA 47 Posted August 30, 2021 What a fine group of people on this site. I wasn't a honda fan when I bought my Foreman, I bought it because it was cheap and honda has a decent reputation. But the Honda community is unreal. Hey Fish, I hope you are doing well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

56Sierra 1,844 Posted September 6, 2021 Preventive tree felling a few days ago. This Pignut Hickory started producing a fungus at the root flair and the leaves showing stress. Either drop it where I wanted to let Mother Nature drop it where she wanted. About a one in four chance of it hitting the house are odds I didn't like. Got it all cleaned up that day. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
