One of the worst days in my life and still a lot more to go.
I have 100 fish tanks, but two pairs of shoes. The latter is proof that I am still relatively sane. The question is...relative to what?

Hang in there Frank.  It's almost over.

147 calls. Still coming in at a rate of 12 to 15 per hour. Out of 20 service stops I could only help 2 people, all of the rest were still being flooded by the sewer. most had check valves that if I hit with the rod would open them and make it worse.

Oh the joys of living in the great metropolis!  I've lead a sheltered life here on the back roads of rural Ohio.  LOL LOL

Holy Cow, Frank!  All those unfortunate people! I hope you get enough rest to keep your immune system intact...!

And Jon, you've gotta be tired.  Us older guys don't go as long and steady as we used to. 
Happy Aquariuming,

We found a sweet deal on a HP laptop(17"+ screen/4gigs ram/360 gig hd/dvd,etc)...not new, but sure looks/acts like it...I had to clean up some proggies/files,etc and load a few proggies and transfer files from this desktop........but now we'll have a 'puter' to use downstairs too.....
