All packed up and leaving for the hunting lease in about a half hour. Got the Renegade and GP flinter in the truck with enough bullets and powder to hold off a small invasion.

Still a little squally in this area, but seems to be lessening. Lots of pretty bad coastal flooding justSouth of us.That Ike is a big-un and is pushing a 20+ foot storm tide. Been following FOX News and it looks pretty bad for the Galveston area and all along the coast toS.W. Louisiana. Already reports of people on their roofs justEast of Galveston. Say a little prayer for those folks in the strike zone- they're gonna` need it.
