Damn good to see you are ok, Rod! I was trippin cuz i thought i got your number from last years MSA and I couldnt find it. Then i realize that i got a new phone. Case solved. Regardless i was tryin to find yo number so I could call and get the status. I hope to the Z gods that nothing happened to you and your families house and belongings but remember, as shity as fires like this may be its a fresh start. As long as you make it out with your health and family you can rebuild.

Well,

The house is fine, some of my neighbors weren't so lucky. I am very sad for them.


The Z is also fine it's covered with ash... Yes, the ash blew into my CLOSED gargage from the force of the winds. There is a lot of wind damage and fallen trees. I'll post some pics of the area a little later.

So I met the guys last night when we got back to the area that actually somewhat saved my house and protected my street. They were all the way from San Francisco!!! Anyone familiar with California knows how far away that is... Amazingly they were here late Monday and have been here since.

I was sure to thank them.





Rod.

Phew . . .the last thing we all wanted was for the Z to be Pompe status. SF by car is about 8 hours to San Diego. Bet those rigs took at least 12 to get down there

Glad to hear you made it through the fire ok Rod, sorry to hear about the neighbors. I heard yesterday a group of city engines left Klamath Falls, Oregon to head down there to help with the fires. I keep hoping the government will finally call for some of the 400 private wildland fire engines and 200 water tenders to head that way to help. We've got nothing to do up here until next June or July anyways.

Dude, if you actually knew me in real life you would know I am anything but "always uptight". I just like screwing with you sometimes. As for some of the other idiots on the interwebz... If I flame them it's cuz they suck at life.

By the way, my last post was a direct quote from "Forest Gump" it was supposed to be funny. Lame-O


Rod.

cooking by the fire of your neighbors burning house just doesn't seem like a laughing matter. At least not right now.
Rod still isn't in the clear yet. Those fires are still burning....

Rod is too nice of a guy to be enemies with his neighbor... unless they don't like Z-cars.

Thanks

Actually, my neighbors all love my Z. When my friends in all of their Z Cars invade my neighborhood, they all get a kick out of the "Z Car Show" going on up and down the block.

My next door neighbor is a BMW guy, he has two... All of his friends drive them as well. So, sometimes it's the "BMW Show" on my street.

I'm just waiting for the day that all of my friends and all of his friends show up at the same time!!! Oh snaps!


My neighbors are all cool.



Rod.

We actually got a little bit of RAIN yesterday down here. I'm not sure how much it helped with the fires still burning but I know the Fire Fighters I spoke to were very pleased to see the rain. What a crazy week it's been around here...
