Looks like I won't be going hunting. Went out to start my pickup and let it warm up and apparently I left the dome light on when I got home with it on Sunday night. :grumpy:

Just bounces off? Maybe he should turn it around and try the sharpened edge!

It was no where near the "projected" damage. It did some damage, yes. But this was being touted as this massive storm that was going to cripple america!

I was watching it closely -- well, because I was near the projected path! I never heard it refered to as "crippling America". It was going to effect NY and NJ and shoreline flooding in CT but everything else would be OK. I think the folks from Staten Island would disagree with your assessment of "some damage".
The numbers as of today are $72-some billion for a Cat. 1 storm Sandy vs. Katrina, a Cat. 5 that did $110 billion. That's pretty significant.

Havent had time to destroy anything I was trying to put the Jeep back together. However it seems that my water pump gasket is leaking after I replaced it :(

If I understand correctly, those numbers are based on cost to rebuild. What you have to remember is New York is 68% higher than the national average whereas New Orleans was 6% BELOW the national average.

Now, someone that is smarter than I can probably come in and explain that those figures are based off a national average, but I didn't think they were.

And I'm not meaning to say "Nothing happened" obviously it was a bad storm. But it wasn't what was predicted. As it got closer and they realized "Oh (...) this isn't going to be as bad" and they revised it. It was originally a higher category storm than what it eventually landed as.
 
Just got home from Evansville with my Burr-King grinder and two boxes of belts. Already been playing some and I am one happy sumbich. Beer for everyone!
 
I could use a cold Rainier beer.
Thanks Trade! You're alright with me.
