I have 20 full bags in the back of my truck, Kirk. Call my phone at 10 and I should have it charged by then, We can meet up.We evacuated our house. Parker came through with a huge enclosed trailer and his truck and we moved everything but the living room furniture. We have relocated to my parents office building in the industrial park in moorhead. Myself and my father plan on staying with the house until they dike us in and we cannot get supplies in. We have 100 gallons of gas, a dewalt 12,000 watt generator and a 6 horse **<u>honda </u>**sump. I think we'll be the last ones whos dike is standing. If the dike starts to break, we will have the fire department fill our basement with freshwater and let the house go, but my dad is pretty adiment about us winning this thing.
You will win this fight because of this.

sure joel. guess we'll take them off your back. dont got a truck though to come get them though.
a little reason of optimism..it appears as though its taken almost 10 hours to go up another foot from 38.8 to about 39.8...hopefully the rivers slowing down rising up.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -
Its cause the city of moorhead is ran by fuckin morons.

How was the Dome right now? Is it packed like the days before?Its not too bad when i left. Its frustrating when you are tryin to fill bags and there is soo many people around you and you cant work with your shovel without hitting someone.
Besides they said they were just stock piling the bags on the pallets right now and not loading them on trucks. If they need the help i will go back out after im done with work tomorrow.Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car

Probably a smart thing to keep people off of roads, shit it should be that all day tomorrow.

Here are some pic's from the dome tonight. It was like a bad dream. You do a few loads of sand.....no big deal but then they keep coming back. AW CRAP! lol!
ALOT of heavy equipment rolling around. One of the forklift drivers was pissed as hell yellin at everyone all the time, but i imagine working all day would take its toll on you.
