Another expensive lesson learned

[KiotiJohn]

I'd say we're all lucky we haven't done worse damage than a bent wheel lifting those weights! We all try to push our units too far on occasion, but now when my loader seems to be reluctant, I give up and do something else like pull the object or skid it on something. I hope all the problems get taken care of without too much expense. John

Hey Kiotijohn, are you missing the wrath of Ivan? I have some relatives in P'Cola and they are very concerned! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

P'cola is bound to get some pretty stiff winds, and lots of rain. Fortunately here, we're only expected to get 25 mph winds, and of course, some more rain. I haven't seen a dry day in weeks now!
Tropical storm Jean is on the way. Let's hope it turns sharply NE and disappears into the Atlantic. Thanks for asking. John

There's another storm spinning up now?! I hadn't heard about it on the news. I sure hope it doesn't head toward the US. You guys have been absolutely hammered.

Yes, another one. I spelled it wrong, it's Jeanne, but pronounced Jean. It's near Puerto Rico now and taking a similar tract as the others so far.
Of course we're really hoping it will take off north really quick and head out into the Atlantic, but who knows?
