<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Pianotech Comrades:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just thought I would drop a quick note =
to report on
my trials and tribulations in the aftermath of hurricane =
Jeanne.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The eye passed within ten miles north =
of us last
Sunday - reportedly, it was at a minimal Category 1 status at that =
point. It got
real breezy and gusty. The bottom line is that we were without power =
from Sunday
morning until late Thursday afternoon. A very large red oak =
tree
(maybe 90-foot tall? - and located about 6-feet from my shop
wall) snapped off at about 30 feet and landed directly on the roof =
of my
piano shop. We just got done removing all the debris today. =
(Man-O-Man, I
got firewood for my fireplace and smoker for years
to come!!!) Fortunately, no serious damage was done to the =
shop
itself. My carport (attached to the shop) was taken out, but everything =
in the
shop is dry and happy. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I feel very lucky. Hopefully I can get =
back to
piano work tomorrow! I'm a bit behind on keeping up with the pianotech =
list - I
have 2435 unread emails in my inbox, and most are pianotech list posts.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I've ignored anyone's posts or =
emails, it's
because I've been hurricaned under - please re-send your
email.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK, carry on now!</FONT></DIV>
