Hi Robert N(egro modelo) Pruden;
I've been rebuilding after hurricane Ike. Got my own house livable then started on my daughters house. Built her a nice set of lower kitchen cabinets... ok, ya twisted my arm.. here's some pictures of the cabs:

I know, not kayak related, but wood working non the less....

We had 4 feet of water down in the garage and in all the sheds. Roofs needed replacing and a lot of other cleanup was needed. We were without sewer, gas, and electricity for 23 days, so had to live elsewhere and commute to cleanup. Have some before and after Ike cleanup pictures of our house here:

'Bout time you made another road trip down here isn't it? BTW, Liking the looks of your new VJ.. Just try to stay away from waterfalls with it now...
