You aren't the first to misinterpret the post, but what he said was next generation systems, not the next generation people.
I did the same thing, I missed the system part.

@avguytx Do not check in a lot anymore.
Sorry for the loss of your dad. It sounds like he was interesting.
Was disconnected for a while, Sorry to hear this.

Will they even eat it? Burping squirrels sounds entertaining...
I have no idea but want to get rid of some.

I think I like gear or the promise of gear better than I like music. Gear head?
Ever experience that?
No, I do like new things but it's all about the music. Make a drink and listen to some new music until you find something interesting ?

I'd be happy if they can single task, seems many need a hand holding for most things.

If you only use one of the two tablets in the foil pack, then the other absorbs humidity from the air and becomes useless. I've tried!
Tricksters, they are!
Well you could always go the beach and throw them to the seagulls. Never tried it but they say after they eat one they will pop.
I wish it would work on squirrels.

I have a bunch of these, some store years ago wanted to get rid of them and almost gave them away. I opened one and never finished it in years. It may be very similar to what your talking about, it is black and thick as tar, it can hardly be spread on it is so thick, but it stays in place and seems to work.

watching shingles roofs in Louisiana fly off like paper was pretty unreal , one pass and the roof was on bare wood --
Many times the wood goes next, we have a metal roof. A metal roof is a little different, when it starts to come loose whole sheets come off and is much more dangerous when flying through the air.
After Katrina 2 neighbors lost all the metal off of the barns, there was sheets of metal stuck 40'+ up in trees, bent around the trees, just had to let them fall out eventually.

That's exactly what I was going to do, I have another tree in the yard that came back exactly like you said, but it was only about 6" thick.
Anyway I could cut it low but where it's at it would just have to rot away. If the roots did not come up with that much pressure in soaked ground and the leverage of the top to have it just snap off, my tractor could not remove the roots.

Glad to hear you're all safe Elden. Been thinking about you guys since it hit land. Didn't look good for you but worked out it seems. WB!
Thank you, were fine, just noticed this evening we lost one tree which is the only damage, nothing on the house.
The tree is a Red Oak about 40' tall, it is In the back yard kind of behind some cypress so I didn't notice. It snaped off about 8' in the air at that height it is about 15" thick, kind of suprised since it was only that height and that thick, thought it was stronger.
I got it from a nursery about 25 years ago for $3, it was in a bunch of trees they wanted to get rid of so I can't complain.
This one in the back ground, 3 year old pic. Very happy it is the only loss.

It kind of looks like a Quintet speaker being about the right size, they were made for many years and the shape somewhat changed over the years. Not sure beyond that?

It was way more I just didn't go out and empty it. Was never worried about the rain but the wind was a different story, it got a bit breezy.

Glad you folks are okay dtel!
Me too, and another of the 800 reasons why we do not live in NO.
One thing I forgot about hurricanes is the noise, the roar of the wind especially when a strong rain band is passing, it's a deep rumbling sound of the wind, like they describe for a tornado. Problem is the wind is already going 75+ so if it were a tornado it would be going really fast which is not good news when it's nighttime and dark with rain so hard you can not see 100'. It's gets pretty loud at times and you can feel the vibration, similar to when they test rocket engines at Stennis about 20 miles from here.
The wife said that's it this is
no more. 
It's been years since we stayed.

Good to hear Eldon, you've put in a lot of work there and it's ready-2-go huh?
Yes plenty work but it will never be done, saving a long list for when it starts to cool a little. And that is just the short term list, it will end when I do.

I'm suprised they notice with me around.
My spellcheck stopped working so I downloaded another one, now they both work off and on and may be fighting each other strange things happen with them. General grammer, I just don't care, it drives my wife crazy when she reads my post.

Just got power back.
It does cut out for a second as they connect other areas, just long enough to need to restart computers and reset clocks
Everything is fine no damage, again we just got lucky. It got a bit windy
and the rain was non-stop so I did not go out to empty my rain gauge and it overflowed above 7".

Stay safe everyone!
Baton Rouge... oil refineries... not good.
That will be shut down for days I would think, offshore people are long evacuated.
56 minutes ago, JohnJ said:At least it will weaken, fingers crossed for it getting very weak quickly.
I hope, it's still at 130mph, but that's down by about 15. My best hope is to keep electricity, it was weeks after katrina, it gets old.

Millibars @ 930 is pretty bad, doesn't matter if it is small on a comparative of sizes of hurricanes. It like an extremely slow, huge tornado + the surge. Hope NO comes out ok, they're on the west side of it I think.
No problem with storm surge in NO. but possible flooding for sure. NO. is on the East side of this storm, it is heading toward Baton Rouge on this radar pic. We are above where it says Slidell in this pic, across the state line.

10 to 16 ft storm surge at the coast.
That and flying stuff are the most dangerous parts.

Board up that window, batten down the hatches, and stay safe.
Always wanted a hatch, need to get one one day.
There saying 80 mph winds in the French Quarter, so this means if your just leaving a bar, hold on to the walls as you walk, you know the typical last resort move before gravity sucks you in.
