Thanks guys. BTW, I just rewired the phones so I can communicate with the outside world again. No more relying on the PDA.

DirecTv will be here in the morning so I will have satellite again.

I did have a funny thing happen today. I was talking to a teller at the bank and told her the local paper had the time it was under control wrong by about 2 hours. A lady sitting across the lobby that is an occassional customer of mine (and is a supreme know-it-all old biddy) corrected me. She said the fire was under control at the exact time the paper said because she saw it on Channel 8 and they had a reporter here.

Really?? I told her it was kinda funny to me because it was my place on fire and I was in the middle of it all. I also told her we did'nt see any TV reporter down where the actual fire fighting was taking place.

She proceeded to STFU.

Good grief, close call indeed! Glad everything is relatively okay. No doubt about it, that trumps everyone else's experience of the day, maybe for the whole month.

I'm glad you, and your home, are alright.

You did some nice work there RPM!

Glad your house and most of your stuff is still intact.

A house fire is my worst nightmare. Insurance never can cover photos and all the other family loot that is stashed in the dwelling. Dont even wanna think about family members.

I had the same thing happen to our neighbor. She was burning trash and didnt put it out all the way and went to work. I went out side to feed the pigs and chickens and smell something bruning look around the trailer, and see half of her ten acre lot in flames. The flames were maybe 20 feet from her house but good thing the wind was blowing the other way. Bad thing was that it blew the flames into her bundles of hay about 15 of them were already engulfed. I called the fire department and got our hose and took it over to her well and hooked it up. I put out the fire line that was still burning by her house and started working my way to her hay bales. The flames had to be at least 50 feet high by the bales. I just started soaking the ones that wernt in fire to try to save them. By that time the fire department had shown up and started hooking up thier hoses to thier water tanks and started hoseing everything down. About ten minutes later the owner showed up and was crying with joy because her house was still okay. The fire department decided to just let the hay burn and just keep an eye on it. It was still smoking three days later, but after going back home my adrenaline was pumping show much I was shaking and couldnt sit down.
