Looks like the Pimp is all wet...
 

So it appears that i will be riding out Hurricane Gustav... I have a bunch of supplies, 40 gallons of gas and a generator. My house does not flood but I expect my business to take 5-6 feet of water. Luckily all of the r/c is upstairs there!

So If you guys do not hear from me for a month or so, it is because the Dell is under construction, just like 3 years ago with Katrina...

This is going to suck, but at least I am prepared, or I think I am. Power should be going out on Monday, so I will be here till then... Answering questions and trying to inject a bit of humor!

Good luck Linc

So sorry to hear this. Best of luck with with the traveling and hopefully everything goes smooth and is all right when you come back home.

Be safe man.

Good luck Pimpmaster get the Uzi's out for the looters. My Dad lives about 1.5 hours S/E of Houston and left a message today in which he sounded pretty freaked out. Of course I didnt call him back because im the worst son that ever lived. But I wish you both well...... j/k im calling tomorrow sheesh

Linc, I think it might be a good time to go visit some relatives.

From what they are saying, this one is going to be bad.

Best of luck to you linc....if we don't here from you for a while, the forums won't be the same....:mdr:

Be safe man and hope this thing will just pass by and no one will be harmed....

Go stick everything on the car lifts! BOL

Might be a time to take up RC Boats.
Sorry,thought I'd get you started on the 'humor injection' Linc
Good luck man

Many thanks guys, looks a little better this morning. I will stick it out here, and get a head start on the cleanup...

I do have a few rc boats!!!

truly a bummer man...hope your making the right decision by staying....i just noticed you are in slidell I stopped at the big big slidell truck stop many times

good luck mon

Good luck linc! We are all on alert here as well but looks like the russian hurricane likes LA better. The idiots have already cleared out the water in every store in TX already though so guess I will be drinking out of the bath tub if it makes it here!

Seriously though, if you need any assistance give a shout.

Linc, I'm so sorry to hear. Best of luck to you, and hope your business is okay!

James you & your wife please be careful.

Good luck Linc! Even if your missing for a couple days the forum will lose a lot of humor and knowledge. So many people hate the weather here in central NY but for the most part we have it made. So what if we get a little snow and can't drive for a day or so, at least we can live through it and our houses survive it. You guys get the worst weather possible down there and I give you cedit for sticking it out and staying!

Take care!

Indeed, keep safe, and tie everything down that you can.

:smile:If you live near the Titleist factory shoot any looters you see, Pro V 1 golf balls were in short supply after Katrina!!!
In all seriousness we bitch about the weather here in the U.K. but at least we don't have to put up with hurricanes, don't get stuck it's not worth it, get out if you have to but stay safe whatever you do.:smile:

Good luck and be safe. Have fun with the boats if you have the opportunity to.

I've been through a few Hurricanes down in Florida and I was able to actually enjoy the beach. Good waves to surf and body board.

I'll be here if you need any help brother.

I should be fine, but thanks for the concern!!! I have all the supplies I need, and have moved as much as I can at work. I still think I will get a few feet of water there, but hopefully it is better than Katrina.

I doubt that i will have much time to play with r/c. Lucikly for me the largest body shop in town is going to take a bunch of water, so I will be busy for a few months...

:yipi:
At least something good will come of this upcoming mess...
Business!

Hurry! Send me any rc's that might be in danger, I will keep good care of them:na:

Stay safe man! That stinks!

Stay safe and best of luck.

Hope you guys are making the right choice and that the worst cae senario doesnt happen. Many luck to you guys.

We will be fine, local weather stations have a bunch of experience and I fared very well during Katrina... Save for 5.5 feet of water in my shop:diablo:

I'll take a couple motor and maybe a mm or mmm. You better keep them. Your gonna want to play after all the cleanup. Make the best of it and snuggle up.

Have any RC Boats? :wink:

Still with us linc? or just no power?

"looks like the pimp will be getting wet..."

is that what she said? xD :lol:


Best wishes linc

I just saw some of the damage on TV. Looked pretty bad. . .

Linc- I hope you get a chance to read this and all is well. Shoot a looter for me...........

slingshot and some quarters work well :D

let me tell you what works better.....

paintball gun with frozen paint balls

makes a nice welt...just dont aim for the eye's unless you are really pissed off

Go old fashioned and just throw rocks

Buckshot works better!:tongue: The water is fairly calm once it comes over the levees, good time to run a hydro:lol:.

Still here, bad news though. Wind took the roof off my shop, and most of my r/c collection. I found some stuff, but mostly pieces. Kinda funny, I really made a mess of the surrounding couple of blocks. It must have been a tornado, nothing else was really damaged. Guess I will be out of the hobby for a while... Sucks:diablo:

Awe, that suck linc, best wishes to ya, hope you find most of it!

That will definitely put a dent into your r/c time. :cry: At least you're OK.
