Re: the loaner...1st time in 2 1/2 years they have a H-3. In the past they offered Caddy CTS, DTS, Tahoe, Suburban. The dam Suburban gets about 8 GALLONS to the mile. Tahoe was nice and the Caddys are to low to the ground.

Not knowing how long their are going to keep my H-3 I wanted a tall and capable SUV because of all the storms brewing. I normally joke with the "SWEET YOUNG THINGS" who supply the loaners and always ask for either a Vette or a Rolls Royce which brings a big smile, so this time I thought I'd ask another crazy question..."how bout a HUMMER" ? OK !!!!! I almost fell over...

Watching the RNC right now (around 9:20 PM) but just before checked the storms...looks like Hanna will bypass South Florida, right now she has dropped back to a Tropical Storm and the odds are she will land in South or North Carolina this weekend.

Ike is another problem and since he's more then 5 days out but aimed right now for South Florida and possibly a CAT 3 as he gets closer I'm going to stock up on some more HORNSBY's tomorrow (LOL)...already have 3 propane tanks, 12.5 gal of gas for the generator, shutters are ready, have water & SPAM, got cat food but need dog food and got a REAL BIG WATERMELON yesterday...this weekend I put the junk in the garage and start drinking !!!!!!!!!!!!
