Not raining now in Magnolia, yee haw Yes. Finally. Unfortunately the people south and east of us are still feeling the brunt of this. Also, the Addicks and Barker damns are releasing water to make things worse for some, even though it is a good thing. Just saw where a 35 yr veteran of HPD lost his life going to work. Ran in to high water that he could not see in the dark at Hardy Toll Rd and Beltway 8. Sad very sad.

Nothing but water rescues since the sun came up.

Way to go Joel! I don't know details concerning JO in this instance, except, have serious doubts re his ministry at best. But don't judge judge all C's by JO and his wife.

Good Job! Just saw on the news two brothers from Kentucky drove 18 hours to get here to help. Said all the friendly people makes him feel like he is home. They were even flagged down and given food said he didn't realize they were so hungry. Somehow saying Thank You just don't seem to be enough for all those who came a long ways to help.

They are saying 2 weeks on the electricity coming back on now. Sorry to hear that Barry! That REALLY SUCKS! I'd be moving into a hotel with A/C. As I've said before, I'd rather bleed than sweat.

Way to go Joel! He always struck me as a snake oil salesman. Always has a creepy schitt eating grin on his face. But I don't know the man, so I probably shouldn't judge.

Right you are Sam about fencing pliers. Hate them ones with all the grippy rubber like crap on the handles. Tear that stuff off so they will work as a proper lever when needed! Agreed! I've got Granddad's ole fencing pliers that are at least 60 years old or more. I also like the Crescent brand and keep two pair in the pickup. We still use either a come along or a Hy-Lift jack for stretching fence at the Ranch.

Joel and his church people were up in MT sometime in the last year and some locals(doing production TV work) thought they were snooty.
All sweetie pie on camera but bitchy off.
That's the story I heard anyway, wasn't there myself.

Sam, ever try the Moore Maker pliers and stretching tool from Matador Tx? Those are really good pliers. Hired man brought some home from Iraq. We bought some after that.

Over 1000 EMT's and paramedics from all over the country on the ground in Texas and several hundred more headed to LA and MS. Got held up here with stuff on the home front but my team is wheels up in the AM to either Houston or LA it looks like. Man that would be great. I don't think my license is good in Texas though.
