Thread: Fishing in the basement

G'Day Rick l am Glad to here every thing's ok and no loss l wish we could have a bit off that rain .

Oh gee, that is a lot of water ... and in a basement too!! I have had the shed flood in a downpour - at least I could sweep it out the door (then fix the problem to stop it coming in).

Glad things are 'back on an even keel' - pun intended!!!

Rain? What's that? Send some to South East Arizona next time you get some. Is that what causes those little spots sometime on the windshield after the daily dust storms? Glad you're up & runnin.

Heh Rick whats this stuff called rain?

Sorry mother nature gave you so much but really glad that is all under control and that you had no injuries

Hope tis didn't wash away all those breeding snakes

Have been wondering where you got to, glad to hear that all is fine and you didn't lose anything in the downpour.

Now you can catch up on your sleep, but the best remedy for sore muscles is to get back down to the basement and start pumping some pens out.

I gotta tell everyone about Rick and Gina,
In the middle of the flood ( unknown to me) I ordered from them, it seems Gina was more worried about my pen blanks than the flooding. I assured her my blanks were not that important and could wait but she didn't want to hear it. I can't say enough about the customer service and ethics of Rick and Gina I'm glad all went well and hope the basement is nice and dry. Thanx to both of them. ~ Joe Pozzi

Hi Joe,
You are making me blush .

As for the rain and my relatively minor flooding, I learned a long time ago that you have to take the bad with the good, and try to keep a positive attitude. While the rain was an inconvenience for me, it was a disaster for others. For the local farmers, it was a blessing.

Cheers,

Rick

sorry to hear about your flash flood rick , I've always wanted to know though it seems in over there you all see to have basements but over here we find them unimportent . ? why do you have them im not being picky just ive never had it explained to me could you shed some light .thank you .

G'day Rodent,
Ya know, that is an interesting question. Here in the U.S., it seems to be a geographical thing. When I lived in Arizona and California, we didn't have basements. Here in the mid-west, everybody has them.
For one, we are located in Tornado Alley and a basement sure does come in handy when they come to visit. A lot of folks around here use them for storage. Ours if finished, carpeted, laundry room, family room, office, and small bathroom. It is also our workshop.
Another way to look at it is there is more living space with out taking up more acreage.

Cheers,

Rick

Damn i think ill stay here oh and rick im not being sarcastic but you should realy ivest in a builge pump .Sorry i just couldn't help my self ,mind you they come in handy for emptying other water retaining objects ,like drums with wood soaking in a deterjent and water mix,etc any thing for a new toy in the workshop .
