I am doing ok and am writuing this from the graves county library. Two weeks today without power. Been a pain in the kiester packing water for the toilet and drinking. I alos know our boys in the field aren't eating to bad with those mre's. At elast Fema did something around here. You wouldn't believe just jhow close ths is to becoming anotjher Katrina. Law is out in force but my part of the county is pretty much on it's own. They are packing off everything that isn't guarded .

Ice was 2 and a half inches in paducah and I had 2 and a quarter at the house. I have some interesting pcs from the house and will try and post them as soon as I get power. And for tho9se of you who wonder why the L BL was closed I will get in teher as soon as they will let me and get some pics of the mess mother natuere left us down here.

Actually, there have been a few posts in regards to you and the ice. I had no idea that people would still be out of power. That's gotta stink. No pun intended...well maybe there was. Glad to hear yer OK and hope your power is restored soon.

I posted about our telephone conversation here...... http://www.finsandfur.net/forums/index.php?topic=7909.15

I told everyone that if any one could make it, it would be Jimmie.

I feel sorry for any moron that tries to pack off any of Jimmie's stuff.

There are places in that end of Kaintuckee where a man can just disappear.

HaMeR · February 10, 2009, 04:52:16 PM

Good to know you're doing OK according to the circumstances down there. Reggie was kind enough to fill me in.

LBLDOG · February 10, 2009, 08:45:35 PM

good to hear from you Jimmy , I figured you were still out of power!!! My father -in law has come out of retirement to help get the power back on ,he is with WEST KY RURAL ELECTRIC leading a crew from georgia. Stay warm and its good to hear from you !

Jimmie in Ky · February 10, 2009, 08:49:47 PM

I been doing my share but not liklel;y to be any youngin's

Had enough already !!

As of 7:40pm we have ignition. It took a while to get everything up and running like it should but we is here. Well is out of commision for another day or so until I can get parts to fix it and see what else is haywire.

Yah'll keep on preying though. Storm system will be here by daylight with straightline winds that may clock 60 mph. :shck:
As if we don't have enough firewood to cut already.

My woods is enough to make ya sick

I think I even shed a tear when I walked through it the other day while the winds were calm. I lost even eight inch cedars broke off about 2 feet off the ground. I have a number of trees that are just 40 foot stumps, not a limb left on them. It is unbeleivable the damage done here. Jimmie

Jimmie in Ky · February 10, 2009, 09:27:17 PM

The best thing is that I will only have to pack water to the crapper for another day or so

Melting ice to take a dump is for the birds . Jimmie

HaMeR · February 10, 2009, 09:35:37 PM

Well you're hanging in there tough!! Keep it up as the worst is behind you now & stay out of those damn winds.

Todd Rahm · February 10, 2009, 10:51:26 PM

Your "hidden" Jimmie and I saw atleast six of those a day and just figured was being quiet, didn't know ya was out'a power.

Bopeye · February 10, 2009, 11:22:24 PM

I was worried about ya Jimmie. Only problem was that I kept forgetting that I was worried about you.

Jimmie in Ky · February 11, 2009, 01:03:11 PM

Todd , Bop, Yaah'll just kiss my grits

Jimmie

vvarmitr · February 12, 2009, 06:56:36 AM

Well, how did ya survive the winds?

Jimmie in Ky · February 12, 2009, 12:35:54 PM

I stayed in the house and watched the sky fall again

Now I have to cut my way back into several places I had already opened up. But , it's all good, they are down and no longer a worry

Jimmie

I got home from working afternoons (11:30pm) & Coyote Kate pops out the door w/ a Battery lamp in her hand & says "I hear a train!." Yeap, she was right she did hear a train.

To the unknowing Tornadoes are known to sounds like trains when they're coming.
