We are still here! We evacuated to Orlando. Got back here 01:00 Monday morning. House did well just a little damage, trees did not do well at all. We're all ok and thankful for life and health. We just last night got a generator on line, so we have power today. We got some clean up to do. Pottable water and power are out, they say it may be anywhere from a week or more until we get them back.

We couldn't leave untill thursday around 11:15 am because our syncro's left cv's gave out, so spent two days trying to remady the. I had all the parts, just not a press to get the inner joint off! The area was deserted as I drove around in our little Fox to find someone who could press it off. PTL finaly found a guy who when he heard seven souls and two dogs were depending on that shaft did it for free!

Van did well and also pulled a small trailer with no problems. Before we, I had to take the tires and rims off the 81 L and put them on the syncro because I knew the weight in the van would be too much for the tires that were on the syncro.

Both 81L and the 85 vans came through very well despite a tree falling side the 85.

We will not be resubscribing to the list for a while yet, the last thing I need to be doing is setting allday at the c-puter!

Tyrone and Marilyn Greene
