Most stores started to reopen today with some unusually long lines. Gas is still tough to come by. I was able to get some supplies at Home Depot today so I spent most of the morning repairing my fence and with a chainsaw on the mounds of firewood now in my backyard.

I need to make one more trip so I can match the shingles on my house and then start making roof repairs.

With a $5,000 deductable on the homeowners policy it does not make any sence to turn this one in. I already had 2 claims when Allison hit (One Flood and one for hail damage to my roof). Now many insurance companys wont even take me because they put me in the catagory of people who actually use thier insurance and dont just pay and be quiet.

Other than that, doing ok. One HOT bugger out there today, heat index up at 105. (And that don't mean 105 like in Vegas... more like 135 in Vegas).

Thanks again for the concern, now back to my yard,
Doug
