Hey John,
Just got power back late last night... Funny, my wife and I are lying in bed,
around 11:15pm, talking about the storm and then about the LIPA bill and
whether we'll see any difference in the use of less electricity (we don't trust
them), and BINGO, the power comes on!! We were lucky this time, only a day and
a half without power, we lost power for three plus days during Irene last year.
And that was during the heat of August...
Yeah, I wished that I could have made it, but I'm definitely looking forward to
the spring battle!! Gotta consult that Farmer's Almanac and find a weekend
with blue skies!!
As you probably know by now, the storm missed Long Island-directly, but we
certainly did feel it nonetheless!! Our home didn't suffer much, mostly
small-medium tree branches, nothing structurally to the house, thank
goodness... And even though we live near the ocean, we didn't get any
water-surge damage. We're about three quarters the way out on the Island, I
think the closer you got to NYC the worse it was. Again, we were very
fortunate. Now it's just a matter of a bit more clean up that the usual fall
leaf raking, but it surely beats having to make a call to your home owners
insurance carrier!! Thanks for your concern.
Dave D.

Dave ,
It was a great day. You would have enjoyed it. I guess you have
battened down. Is the storm still headed right at you? Take care and we'll see
you in the spring.

Hey John,
Sounds like you guys had a ton of fun... Sorry that I couldn't be there,
but with this storm brewing...
Glad to see that you guys keep things creative, in terms of new ways to
engage RC tanks...
Can't wait to hear of the results of the time trials and any new rule
mods...

1. No video
2. No pics , except Will taking pics of various Pz II malfunctions.
Somewhat bizarre in that aspect. Weird to say the
least.
Game #1 4 hounds chasing 1 fox. Fox gets a head start, and most
important, can score with frontal hits. Once
you're dead,you're out. Everyone had the opportunity
to be the fox. I look forward to doing this game
game again. It was hard breaking years of " crap he's
behind me" and running. Rather than" good he's all
alone and just charging. Fox also had unlimited ammo
supply. Max time allowed to hounds 15 minutes.
Fox gets points for kills and time staying alive.
Game #2 5 tanks enter--- 1 tank leaves. RCTankcombat version of
Thunderdome. All tanks start inside the set
boundary. No refills of ammo, no leaving the
boundaries. CARNAGE MY FRIENDS! Pure and
simply put, carnage.
And the best part of all, in the finest Vegas tradition, it was TRIPLE
POINT SATURDAY. Yeah baby, yeah.
All in all, it was a glorious day for battle. Frank, Will, Joe, Paul and
myself even discussed possible rule changes. Sorry the rest were not in
attendance and therefore ineligible to participate. Some great things are on
the horizon.
Oh yes, almost forgot . Speed time trials were performed. The results
will be a little surprising.
Stay tuned. .
