Last one. This is from the end of the 80's... the other above was the start of the 80's.
Nite all.
Nite all.
Aerosmith is one that has been around for a long time and the music will go on for a long time to come.
I was not busy today enjoyed the last day of my vacation just bumming around and getting back on the work schedule. Had a blast this weekend went to the fair yesterday
Hey! Jerry is here, which means that so is RI.
That was a real worry; Irene may not have been the muscle-bound thing that, say, Katrina was, but how much of a Charles Atlas does a hurricane have to be to lick a state the size of Rhode Island and affix it to an envelope addressed to Hell?
I, frankly, could live without RI. Jerry is somehow indispensable.

Thanks PI, it's good to see ya. The problem with Irene wasn't the intensity of it's winds, but the size of the storm. We kept getting pounded with 40 to 60 mph winds, for almost 24 hours. That's what did the damage.
RI wouldn't even exist as a state, if it hadn't been one of the original 13.

PI I only had small branches in the yard, that I had to clean up. Fortunately, no structural damage. I had more damage, from a Nor'easter that hit us in January 2010, when a tree came down on the garage, tore a hole in the roof and destroyed all 5 of my ham radio antennas. It also damaged a gutter downspout on the house. The insurance took care of that one.
Are HAM antennas anything like the long, spindly things I remember from my CB days? If so, I'm not surprised you lost them all. An occupational hazard.
CB operates only on the 11 meter band, but hams have access to multiple bands from 160 meters to 1.2 ghz. Ham antennas come in different configurations and lengths accordingly. I had a 10 meter 3 element beam, 10 to 15 meter vertical stick, 20 meter dipole (wire antenna), a "G5RV" which is a 102' wire that is good for 40 and 80 meters and a 2 meter vertical stick. When the tree came down, it damaged the 10 meter beam and then rolled down the garage, destroying all the other ones. I couldn't believe that it took out all of them. 
I went on all the rides well all those for the bigger kids not the little kid rides and on one of them some little girl went are you going to get on this and I was like yeah she goes how old are you anyway
