edgecrusher Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well my good friends, some good has come of this mess. Yesterday I had contacted Dave Branson ( yes, the one who does the Mega group buy) to see if he was in the area, as I am stuck in the Greensboro NC area while the airports in the northeast are all closed, to see if he was interested in shooting.Well, fifteen minutes later there was a call on my phone, and not only did he want to shoot, he took a day off to do it and offered to pick me up and drop me back at my mother in-laws, brought the ammo ( I had brought my LaRue with me to AZ), and provided the spot to shoot.Dave is super nice, as I had found out long ago talking to him on the phone when I ordered my mega matched billet ar15 receiver set, and to put a friendly smiling face to the name was awesome. We had a blast! Can't thank him enough! Anyone here should feel comfortable ordering from him, he's an awesome guy, who happens to have a gun shop, and it's like talking to your buddy you've known forever.Dave, thanks man! What a hoot!

392heminut Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Greg, glad you're making lemonade out of the lemons! Drew and any other members who are being affected by the storm, my prayers are with you. Keep your heads down and check back in when it's over so we know you're okay! <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 We are fine here and at my old ladies. Pretty incredible that we have power when so many around us do not. Of course last time this happened they turned us off for 5 days to perform repairs so you just never know.I had a lot of debris in my parking lot. I think the way the buildings align everything swirls and lands here.Travel was a bear today. Monster pine trees down everywhere as well as big elms. Many roads are not passable. It took an hour to go what would normally take 10 minutes. Reports of houses being washed out and floating in Long Island Sound. Cant get anywhere near the locations.Savages decided to go window shopping last night. Many cars with smashed windows, empty glove compartments and missing radios. I guess they were feeling a little entitled last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Good to hear you got home safe!I was confused with my last post they were talking 20-25' waves on the lake 23 is the record. My buddy snuck out in NYC and took some video last night, crazy poop!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
