RE: just got her muddy for the first time! pics and video :
I am sick of people trying to point the blame at each other about who is at fault for what.
WHO CARES!
there are more important things that could get done, like help out!
I spent 5 days of my vacation volunteering to help out with relief efforts.
Everyone should pitch in and do something! (as in everyone, not the Jeepz people in particular)

RE: aftermarket gas guage sending unit question
Agreed, but don't head down to the gulf coast unless properly authorized, you'll be part of the problem instead of part of the solution.
I'm on a roster with the state to go down and relieve Law Enforcement that is already down there, I'll likely do a 14day stint when the time comes.

Alot of companies and countries are stepping up with help...not only in money but supplies. I know down here in FL we are working really hard to get supplies to our neighbors to the west. Some communities are organizing trucks to drive supplies there. While I cant drop everything and drive to New Orleans to help I am donating money and goods to try to ease the situation. You dont have to go to extremes to make a difference (however the people who do should be congradulated!!!) and every little bit helps.

Craig,
Alot has happened since that post, many people and nations have stepped up to help.
As for Canadians helping, I see it as payback for the privilege of being connected to us and thus preventing yourselves from being over-ran by other hostile nations for all these years. JK :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I still think America should cease foreign aid in times of our own national disasters.

RE: Acetone???
My employer will soon be asking for volunteers to go down there to help repair the trashed communications network (big telco... sounds like "horizon"
) and I will jump at the opportunity to help out. It'll be tough on us but my wife and I agreed it's the right thing to do if they do in fact look for volunteers (which they almost always do in these situations).
Hopefully they'll just replace everything with fiber optics.

RE: Im Back!!!
Apparently my name is still on a roster for Disaster Relief and Search and Rescue from when I was a paramedic. I got a phonecall yesterday asking me to go down and assist. It pained me to tell them I'm not certified anymore (just certifiable) and didn't qualify for the type of help they were looking for. My company is matching employee contributions dollar for dollar. Sunshine and I figured up that we can afford about 15% of my paycheck. It ain't much, but every little bit helps. So, for the next 4 pay periods I'll be coughing up as much as we can afford out of my check (the company is making automatic deductions to charity before taxes). Sunshine is working through our church to see if we can bring a few elderly people up here from the stricken areas. Our nursing home has 3 empty beds, and the assisted living center next door has a few empty apartments. Right now, she's working with the director to see if we can get those rooms donated, or at the very least at a reduced cost. God I love my wife!!!
