  1. Rob just saw the video posted. Great footage. Just think if it had been a cat 4 or 5. It will take many years and billions of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ,$$$$$$$$$$$ of dollars to rebuild and recover. Maybe the utility companies will finally wise up and bury the lines like some other parts of the country?. I can only hope, but not get my hopes to high. easy-lift guy
  2. Glad to hear your well. You take care. easy-lift guy
  3. Steve, This to shall pass, Thanks for all of your hard work, see you in a few days. easy-lift guy
  4. Just tried to call Ben, recording came on saying the person I am trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time:sneaky2:. I hope all is well with Ben:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  5. Atlantic City, NJ. Is under water as of 5:01 AM. ALL AIR PORTS ARE STILL CLOSED MASS TRANSIT SYSTEM IN NYC COMPLETLY SHUT DOWN!. Over 30 reported dead. Many foolish folks decided to weather out this weather event. I suspect many more will be lost. easy-lift guy
  6. Jon, If you have frame damage and high mileage on you Audi your current value could be in question. Depending on the overall condition, the dealership may be feeding you a line of BS in order to get you to buy a new or newer model. Tough call. easy-lift guy
  7. You are correct to a point. Most of the larger players are and have been pre-deploying assets to the areas in question. Just announced on FOX News around 7:00 PM EST NYC Subway system is completely shut down. I suspect NYC WILL PRETTY MUCH BE A GHOST TOWN WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. easy-lift guy
  8. Ben, please heed this warning. Make sure you have enough food and water on hand for at least a week for your self. Most of the grocery stores will be sold out or closed within the next 36 hours max. If you can get any extra fuel try to before the power is out or the fuel trucks stop delivering, mainly due to deteriorating conditions. If anyone is thinking about making their way over to help, remember there will be many tree firms converging on the NE from all over the US. Having a place to stay may prove to be impossible since a great deal of pre deployment is well under way. Many motels will all ready be booked and with evacuations being ordered up and down the coast, especially in low lying areas housing will be hard to come by if not available. For everyone's help who can my sincerest thanks:thumbup1:, be very careful, and may God bless us at this time of need! easy-lift guy
  9. Lasti checked the 1x£= $1.60 US easy-lift guy
  10. I had no idea boat anchors could be that expensive these days?. No don't waste your hard earned ££££££'s for a turd. In the end after polishing you know what ends up on your hands!. easy-lift guy
  11. Absolutely fantastic, I would love to trunk monkey to deal with some of the mal contents I have seem verbally assaulting other drivers here state side! easy-lift guy
  12. Here stateside the local American Legion or some other service organization offers Poppy's for a donation in front of the grocery stores. I wear mine every year, sadly at least in my community I see less and less every year. It is a pity that so few know about this point in time. I am not sure the public school system over here even teaches about the number 11 and the year 1918. Private schools and military schools do remember and honor all of the injured and fallen. easy-lift guy
  13. I was not referring to slavery?, really curious where that came from. When you work do you work to receive payment for goods or services rendered or do you work for free? People that work for free have some means of supporting them selfs for basic needs like food clothing and shelter. People that work for them selfs in order to earn a profit after expenses are in all likelyhood a majority of the members of AT. There are still others that work for Councils that are competing against the private sector for the very business that provides a income for said workers. Weather you work for yourself or a company I would think that taxes are deducted from your wages in order to fund basic services provided by council?. If you think about it your competing against yourself in the open market in order to keep people employed, or do you understand that point. easy-lift guy
  14. Free enterprise allows the free market to dictate the price based on supply and demand. When any government attempts to involve it's self with free enterprise or private industry the results are always failure. The government uses and abuses funds collected based on taxes collected by PRIVATE INDUSTRY. Private industry does not for the most part depend on the government for its existence, however with out private industry you would not be interested in the alternative, at least I would not. People working for free is fine if one can afford it. FYI, working for free and Volunteering are Two different things. easy-lift guy
  15. There is a lockout feature with the IPhones that makes the phone useless to a thief. Tracking is also available as well stateside, not sure about your local? easy-lift guy
  16. Sorry not trying to lose you. If you read my original reply I was referring to People who work for councils and are able to bid against existing businesses for work with all overhead being subsidized by tax payers. I understand that in some parts of the world Free Enterprise is outlawed, I just don't understand why the state thinks its a good idea to bite the hands that keep it afloat:sneaky2: easy-lift guy
  17. Actually I volunteer to do clean up on a monthly basis here state side. I do not receive payment for services rendered, I do it becuse I want to. I believe paying people to work or bid against existing business concerns with no overhead and actual expenses for the sake of employment being subsidized by the tax payers is INSANE. Make work projects are well intended, however when the very taxes that are being raised to fund these councils are misappropriated, and or being abused at the cost of the tax payers, something or someone's will end up broke and busted sooner or later. easy-lift guy
  18. What I don't understand is how these council type people can compete against an existing business concern with no overhead, while at the same time be underwritten by the tax payers?. This seems absolutely insane!!!!!!. I hope don't live long enough to see that scheme over on this side of the pond. easy-lift guy
  19. Ain't it the truth:sneaky2:, we call them people busy bodies over here. Never happy, and they expect everyone else to be the same way. easy-lift guy
  20. Last year in Hartford CT. the show was still a go in spite of a really wicked Blzzard One week earlier. The attendence was not as strong as could have been with thousnads of crews working around the clock restoring power, at least on the last day show officials gave the crews a break and allowed free admision for the last day of the show . I believe nothing short of a direct hit on the convention center would postpone or cancle this event. easy-lift guy
  21. I won't be up until the 3rd for the TCIA Show. I wonder how it will be affected, if at all. Get a head start, look forward to any pictures. easy-lift guy
  22. Nice of you to give back or pay forward for the future. easy-lift guy
  23. What a pain in the Dupa!, Just cover your Dupa with the proper paper work from the officials and take that tree down:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  24. Great to see that your keeping the business, All in the family. Very happy for you. easy-lift guy
  25. Only One pallet?, hardly think that would be enough for One member, however you have to start somewhere. I can't believe Honey maid crackers are so expensive:sneaky2:, better make it a pallet of each. You all have a nice weekend. easy-lift guy
