Hampton Roads Club Mini

You wouldn't want to use my basement for an indoor pool !  Understand that you couldn't resist !!!!  Ha Ha ! I will get you back as soon as I can    Have many dead crickets and other crap floating in the basement at this time. It's is  not pretty    It's all good though, no real damage to the house, my spare engine is high and dry, and thankfully Kathy reminded me that I had a MCS supercharger on the basement floor, and I moved it up above the floor level yesterday before the water level got up in the basement.

I guess I got lucky.  Stayed on high ground through it all.  worst thing is that my back yard is a swamp now.  Hopefully the new grass I had going won't be drowned out.  That is the fifth crop I've tried to get growing back there this year.  Everytime it has gotten drowned.  LOL.  Only had power flicker a couple times thursday night as we were getting ready for bed.  Then  all was good from there out.  Had minor damage to house, the back door that has been on its last leg for a while now started leaking so I had a wet spot in the back of the house during the worst of it.  Guess I better get off my butt and fix the door.  LOL.  Hope everyone is staying safe.  With any luck the weather will be much nicer tomorrow so we all may make the most of a weekend day!  Hope to see everyone at Bass Pro Shops tomorrow!

I thought you'd like that

There were actually 4 MINI's in the lot. Heck, I remember when Checkered Flag didn't have that many!

Sorry to hear about Tug.     At least you have spares.   

Tide-wise, it would have to be a Category 4 or 5 strength before we would have to worry about water levels.  Additional joy is our neighborhood power is all underground.  Power flickered three times when I got up on Thursday morning.  Went to work for all of two hours when the base commander decided to close.  Guess Ft. Eustis can't close unless Newport News schools close.   

Power went out once for about ten seconds before the backup circuit kicked in.  Thankfully, that works.  Ten years ago, it would have been power out, backup kick in, then backup fail.  Yours truly complained on that one, and Va. Power came out and fixed it a couple of weeks later.  Power had gone out like ten times that year.  I'm sure they did not enjoy hearing I have $10K of computer equipment at home on top of that.   

Most everyone I have talked to so far at work had power.  I hope everyone on here faired well, too.  One person lost power for eight hours, and another for one day.  The rest had flickers.   

My sunroof seal failed mostly along the front edge not long after I bought it from my friend in July 2005.  My guess is they did not use a good glue from the factory.  I used black RTV w/metal grit, and it's held up really well.  I used a burnt incense stick (I save them for paint stirrers) to put small dabs inside the seal groove, then I left the sunroof cracked so no pressure was put against it until the RTV dried.

Some have suggested the drain tubes can come loose, provided you have a sunroof.  The other thing it could be is a bad seal around the windshield.  Because of its shape, it either becomes sealed too well (which leads to a stress crack), or it can be too loose (which leads to a leak).  I'm on my fourth windshield.
