Back when hurricane Ike plowed thru the Houston area (i am about 30 miles north of there), we had just moved into our new home. We moved from a tiny house with a huge back yard to a huge house with no yard. We still had not finished finding a home for many of our belongings, notably the outdoor furniture. It was still in the garage. For the next week without power, we found ourselves sitting at that table in the garage. It was our smoking area. Now it's our favorite place to take a break, have a quick pow-wow on how to deal with the latest issue with the kids, or hang out and have a few beers on the weekend. Only difference now is I have a shoe box with a bunch of pv stuff in it. One easy way to keep the box organized was to label several ziplock baggies with a sharpie. One is dirty carts, one for clean carts, one for attys, one for each of my fave flavors and their carts.
