After several days of cutting sub surface roots while digging drainage trenches to divert storm water on several properties, literally beating it into the dirt while chopping for days

I now needed to baton the top side of pilings after we lengthened them to prevent the floater from rising and floating away. The floating dock could get hung up on its way down if not chiseled at an angle.... bring on the rat

It's good to have tools you can count on when failure would be uncool to say the least...

Good luck with all and keep your head down and dry. Used to live on the east coast. Now I am in CA and its too dry. Miss that rain, when its not tearing off the roof.
 
I got a Proto of a mountain that's .15 thick and 71/4 inches long, a fantastic blade And a great tool to protect your property from thieves who prey on situations//// let God sort Em out...

Glad to see you posting after all that. I hope you came out ok.

That is a sweet warden !!!!!! Yellow g10 !!!! That’s wild !!!!!
 
Indeed thanks
All I know uninjured
My house ok, tree loss, nothing to speak of relative to others, many suffered total losses
I'm still without power 6 days later
We were directly in the path when it made landfall first side of the storm, but after going through the eye the back side was wicked and lasted FOREVER wind and rain like insane, had to keep a vigil of multiple pumps running some were prepared and planned others set up real time. Hopefully power will be back soon I dont know how many days these little generators can run before failure...

My phone data access just came back online today.
 
Glad o see you are OK. Keep up the vigilance and don't forget to change the oilin the Generator according to the running hours guidelines.

Good to hear your ok

Some good advice on keeping the gens oil fresh and clean.
Last storm that hit here I ran the gen in cycles, gave it some cool down time. Once cooled is when I’d refuel and ck/chg oil.
 
Good to hear you made it through OK- So your dock mods and vessel make it OK too?

Indeed yes, thanks for asking
I watched with binoculars as the floating dock rose beyond the pilings to the hack extensions, without the mod the floater would have been gone and may have damaged something elsewhere as well.
The boat was storm tied with six or seven lines, survived, we point the nose into the expected wind direction
Two trees that the boat was tied to fell but the lines stayed tied
I'm personally amazed at what the lines can handle, houses/trees destroyed locally but a few good lines hold...
 
...that yellow G10 is a god-send in bad weather...hate to lose that little baby...
glad you survived.
