HEY GANG!!! i am back online FINALLY! man it has been hectic round here, lol. as ya'll know lightening hit a big ol pine tree in our back yard last thursday. it ran from the tree to my baby the RAJUN CAJUN.....fried it i think. more on that in a bit.
from the boat it ran to the shop. there are little black marks all over the tin walls. and inside on a few outlets. from there it ran to the transformer and blew out the fuse.
we are very lucky folks. if it had hit the house, we would probably be homeless right now. but the electrician did his job to PERFECTION. nothing in the house ot hurt except for the computer modem, satelitte dvr and the answering machine and 1 phone.
nothing in the shop was hurt at all, which is a miracle, my welder, radial arm saw, air compressor, band saw, table saw anda few small items were all plugged in. all it fried was my battery charger for my cordless drills.
i was at work when it happened, lisa called me and said, "lightening just hit the house!" i was frantic, cause iwas on the other side of another county and an hour away. she then said it didn't hit the house directly, but it got the boat. and there was smoke coming out of it. i told her to grab the fire ext's (can't spell it) and she did. blew out a tire, got all 3 battereis and 3 bank charger andwhoknows what else. she is at the shop now getting the go over to list in detail what it needs for the insurance company. won't know untill probably next week or so how bad it is.

but the GOOD news is lisa is ok, i am ok, the house is fine, the hsop is fine. everything else will be ok too.

thanks for all the calls and texts gang. ya'll brought tears to my eyes with your kindness. we love ya'll to death for real.

now, let's talk fishing ok? now that i ain't got a working rig.......i wanna go even more. BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! out of 3 boats sitting on my yard the lightening hits the only one that runs. funny ain't it? lol!!
