Today, in a picture . . .

[MemoriesByTheMile]

Yeah, but Trish doesn't want steel. I looked at some pictures that my neighbor sent, and it appears the wind just went up under the structure and lifted it up and over. It actually looks like the 6X6's were pulled loose from the concrete pilings. I'll know more when I get home.

Just for the record, I didn't build this. One of the builders in town did. I won't get up on something that high off the ground anymore!

There is a cost to look good!

These days, there are better smokers, for far less money. @GlampDaddy has a basement full of them.

@Neal is having a sale on slightly used from his graveyard of smokers and if you play your cards right he might throw in a kayak with the purchase.

If you are in the mood for a drive to the Palmetto / Bradenton area, I have a suitcase Traeger I’m getting rid of.

All yours if you want to come visit

Oh man, Dennis! That is such an outstanding and thoughtful offer, and I really do appreciate it. I'm sure you will find a use for it, maybe as a backup or something. I'm back in NC as of about an hour ago, and although it's a little early to tell, I think my smoker "may" have survived! The legs are a big strange looking, lol, but I can straighten them out. It's the firebox and other parts that are of concern. And I won't know about them until I get a ton of roofing material off of it!

Again, thank you so much for your generous offer.

What about the rest of your RV Park ?

The park is OK! And with all the gazebos in the park, not one of them is damaged. Even the picnic tables are in the exact same spot as when I left. So what I thinking is that a small tornado came through the area of my RV barn, and boom, that's the end of that! That consensus is supported by the number of trees that are down in that area as well. So I guess I should have had the RV barn built about 50' to the left!

Hey Jim, when did that storm come through? Recently?

Wow Steve, that's a beautiful shot!

That said, this was a great shot of your rig from the back side, complements of @GlampDaddy

@Neemer I don't recognize any landmarks to identify your location but suffice it to say, I don't want to be there.

I’ll be posting a pic of the local Freightliner shop soon. Oy.

O boy! Hopefully, they will have a driver's lounge with a TV and magazines. Truckers Life is my favorite.

I know I'm making jokes when it is not a joking situation. Have you looked up what the codes mean?

That's why this thing is gold. Tells you what that stuff means and may offer a fix. Hope it's not too bad and you can be on the road again soon.

Resume thread topic...

This guy was at the park in Silver Springs yesterday! My neighbor, a couple of lots down, took the picture. Pretty cool!

I had no idea FL had a monkey population.
