|  Down and out for awhile
Hey guys, TC here on my sons account and over at my mom's house.. Just wanted to pop on real fast and let you guys know that I won't be around for awhile. My house had been hit by lightning monday night and took just about everything electric out. It took out my computers, internet, big screen TV, phones, stove, furnace/central air, etc...Surge protectors don't help much against a bolt of lightning  but at least it wasn't worse and i still have my house and the family is good  About the only thing it didn't touch electric was the fridge, flat screen and PS3 (which sucks to try and use online anyway ) So I have the whole home owners insurance crap to deal with. So those who have sent Pm's and such can see why I am not replying  Later guys |
