These guys keep me in peanut butter and jelly sandwich’s.

 

Just looking at that gives me anxiety.


Good morning errybuddy.

 

There’s a reason they call them “sparkies”

 

you work along the SW Michigan shore? South Haven/Benton Harbor sorta thing?

 

What’s the worse that could happen? A million dollar car burn up?
Just Send It. Lol

 

I used to work for Broward Marine back in the 90’s, built 6 of those a year. That pic is on the Kalamazoo River on a sea trial in Saugatuck. Run up the river first before heading out on the big lake.
Live in Paw Paw now, 30 miles from Lake Michigan

 

Currently sitting in our vehicles staying warm. CMP cant get to the service to cut it because their ladders are frozen solid and its on a hill. Waiting on their bucket truck. Hourly, whatevs.

 

The wheels of progress turn slowly sometimes

 

I know the area somewhat. Use to spend a LOT of time near Grand Junction/South Haven. Have freinds in Saugatuck and around Kzoo. Mom's a WMU Grad. Go Broncos.

People not intimately familiar with the Great Lakes don't realize how daunting they can be. I raced sailboats in the Atlantic as a kid (Bullseyes in Marblehead) and Chicago (T33's) and the lake is everybit as formidable.

That's a beautiful boat. Not my cuppa, but impressive none the less.

 

Grew up in Detroit, moved this way in 80’ , love the area. Wife’s from South Haven

 

If I'm anywhere NEAR there...it's off on the Phoenix Road exit for Shermans...

If @BananaMan or @Tacoma Mike were out this way...they'd be all over GingerMan. Great track from what I've been told. Have always wanted to have a reason to run something there, but never have.

 

Yep Sherman’s Ice Cream, down the road is GingerMan racetrack.

 

Keeping an eye on my leaner tree, today might be the day
That’s a level pic off the window sill

 

Looks like a nice track.



I think the elva would like it.

 

Gosh dang, that looks like a great track.

 

Just started raining here.
This ain't gonna be good.


High winds coming too.

 

Memories from previous employer.

 

I've got a pump ready for a section of my back yard that has the potential for water to accumulate. Hoping the current snow pack absorbs most of the predicted rain and/or the ground can absorb some. I'll be checking every couple of hours throughout the night.

 

Freezing rain just started here @Sig45

 

I'm all ready...

Everything in position to deploy if needed.

2 1/3 HP pumps (simple submersible type)
2 hoses (super flexible and non kink)
2 25' extension Cords
Coffee maker filled/ready
Rain Gear & Rubber boots
Headlamp

Generator filled and proper cords in position.

Went through this 4 yrs ago (I think). Goal is to simply prevent the water from getting close to the house/foundation. If it builds up and freezes, there's no place for future metlage/runoff. There's only one Downspout on the back of my house. Under normal circumstances, the ground absorbs it nicely or it pools up well away from the house.

Proactive.
