I can't describe how bad it is. It is truly ugly!

Fortunately, it is still nice out here!

Neither Tornadoes (last Wednesday) or Floods or Lightning can stop the power of a Vintage HIWATT!

I'm very sorry to hear about your father. Please accept my condolences and prayers.

I almost stayed in the Days Inn instead! Gulp!

I'm glad to hear your home is OK, Clayton. Geez, I just saw some film footage from your area and it looks lousy.

Thanks Mike. I'm sooo ready for the convention, but I haven't seen any of that Old Peculiar around here for sale. I'll keep looking!

I might have to clean them out today, so that they re-order more!

Clayton. let me know if there is anything you need me to bring. I can bring a cooler with brats, hot dogs, or whatever. Maybe we can just chip in when we get there and head to the grocery store. A bunch of guys can put away the food, and I don't want the convention to be a big financial burden to you. Also, keep that broom downstairs and I'll try to make sure the floor is kept clean. I'd hate to see that beautiful house all tracked up! I'll throw in some money for the Old Peculiar too. I'm going to bring several guitars, so the guys flying in won't have to worry about not having a guitar.

That's extremely thoughtful of you, Phil. I appreciate it.

I'd also like to add my condolences on the loss of your father. Been there, done that, know it's no fun. Best thing to do is surround yourselves with friends (and LOUD HIWATTS :D ).

...Hey! I played that song when it was new...

Stock up on that wonderful nectar! That's a great plan!

If you want Keith and I to bring anything else, by all means let me know. Cooler?

Yikes, that statement creeps me out on a number of levels... Hiwatt Bob should see a HIWATT the-rapist. :shock: :lol:
