Severe thunderstorm outside
Wind looks worse than Hurricane Jeanne. And the damned sattelite dish is out. Well at least I have DU to keep me occupied.

5. Yeah, I'm in Holiday, about 2 blocks from Tarpon Springs
It's calming down some now. But, I think I'll have to go out and re-position the dish. AFTER the storms over.
