Carl, I'm so sorry to see this. It looks like more rain headed your way.

I can ask our historian to take a look at your post.

Thanks for asking, Christy. I am doing fine. I have very close friends whose home has either already flooded or most certainly will in the next few hours. People are being taken out of their neighborhood by boat. Practically all the residents stayed there, so there are hundreds of homes with occupants being evacuated just in the small circle I included on the map of West Houston. Multiply that scenario all over the Gulf Coast, and you can see that everyone here knows a close friend who is being flooded. It's awful!
@Jeff Matthews just know all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. I don't think anyone can understand the feelings unless they've experienced them firsthand. I'm thankful everyday that we evacuated for Katrina, but the news reports and first hand observations upon our return home the next day are enough to last me a lifetime. While watching the reports and reading posts like this my heart just breaks. It's difficult to keep my emotions in check.

Here is a Ft. Bend County Evacuation Map. Dark red areas are under mandatory evacuation orders at the moment. Light red areas are under voluntary "orders."
@Jeff Matthews how are you doing over there?

Awesome write up on the event!
By the way, there's s local guy in Hope that gives away a couple of thousand dollars every year during the Watermelon Festival. It's done as a scavenger hunt with a lot of the locals participating. Clues are given at regular intervals until the money is found.
Christy!

"Gophers" are always welcome. Helps with the entire workload. No skill set required...just a willingness to help.

Good afternoon my friends..... Just got back last evening from my annual trip to see my folks in NC. Instead of putting miles on Chris' Mariner, I decided this year, we would rent...
MPK, I must tell you, we ended up with a '17 Santa Fe' pretty well loaded, seating for SEVEN !! AWD and a 290 HP. v6.... 6 speed auto/manual shift.. It was quiet, comfortable and had every bit of power my Escape has. But with a bit more room inside...
We returned it this morning... The most amazing thing was the fact that it got GREAT fuel eco. ! Our trip home was 12.5 hours actual driving time. Took many photos of the fuel mileage we were getting. When it finally settled down about half way home (about 6 hours into the trip), you can see the average (and the trend gauge) for yourself.. It pretty much stayed this way right 'till we got home! Keep in mind, this thing can tow 5000lbs. !, so it must weigh in over the 3500lbs. of my Escape.
I got some photos when the average ran up to 30.3 mpg. when we here headed down the long hills of the highway, but once we settled on the more equal grades, it went back to 29.... This at 73 mph. with AC and cruise pretty much in continuous use..
Here is a photo..
Nice vehicle @tigerwoodKhorns So I have to tell y'all. One of our vehicles is a 2006 a Saturn Vue with 306,000 miles on it. Seats 5. I will drive it to the wheels fall off. 30 MPG on the highway fully loaded with our "stuff" and everybody else's "stuff", when we travel. We had the rear seats down and "stuff" stacked up to the roof when we travelled to Hope, AR for the Pilgrimage. It gets about 26 MPG running errands around town. Original motor.

I am very surprised with these F3 statements here. I am going to have to re-think plan on getting RF7ii's.
I was going to get RF7ii's to replace my HT fronts, but they'll have their own stereo amp (with HT bypass). So my HT front will have double duty.
You guys are just complicating my life
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThe Klipsch Museum of Audio History had a pair of Forte IIIs for sale which we are combining with a Khorn Klub membership. All proceeds go to the museum. PM me if interested!!!

Yep - I'm sure the living the experience leaves my poor sense of humor lacking. Kind of like living in KC and tornado possibilities every spring/summer. Nothing to joke about particularly when those damn things give you only minutes, not days of warning/preparation. You'all stay safe ---
@richieb do y'all have a basement or tornado shelter?
-
To all our friends in Texas please stay safe and take no chances.

Never experienced a hurricane but when you meet one up close and personal are you then allowed to just call it Harv --?
Really not something you ever want to experience. I vividly recall wading through chest deep flood waters at five years old during Hurricane Betsy in New Orleans. In my early teens I recall feeling my parents brick home in Slidell, LA shake on its foundation during Hurricane Camille. Evacuated for Hurrucane Katrina, but personally viewing the widespread damage is something you never forget.
As an adult, I made the decision to evacuate our family anytime a hurricane is forecast above a CAT 1. Dtel loves bad weather, but he never argues...we leave.

I will chime in here and say I share the opinion of @CECAA850 and others. Roy definitely hit it out of the park with forte IIIs, no doubt about it. Very natural sounding, effortless, superior voicing, no listening fatigue. You could definitely pick them out of a lineup in blind testing.

Read the warning. It specifically mentions CA and cites a CA law

The warning is specifically for California!

Does this list need to be updated?
Yes! It does! My apologies. Will do that this evening.

The update is appreciated and shows much has been accomplished. This type of positive reinforcement can only help stimulate continued and needed contributions.
Thank you --
I know I left out some of the other work that has been accomplished, as well as purchases that are critical to our infrastructure, such as software, computers, insurance, security/alarm system, wifi service, brochures that are placed in tourist areas, such as the rest area, Old Washington, etc.
Also, the plexiglass Khorn is now back in Hope...not sure if it was there for the Pilgrimage. We also acquired some additional artifacts.
The museum in now open three days a week.
