Dust carefully, that looks like a Black Widow web

Thanks. Right now it's still only heavy rain and a little wind, but it's supposed to get real nasty in the afternoon with the heaviest hit over night. Hope we don't get any damage to the house.

For everyone that will be in Sandy's path, BE CAREFUL and keep us posted!!

We are keeping everyone that is in the path of the storm in our prayers!
God Bless and be safe!

Feeling extremely lucky that Sandy didn't do too much damage here: some power outages, but that's about it.

Same here, been very lucky indeed. Didn't even loose power.

Got off easy here in Bergenfield. A few small tree limbs down, no loss of electricity and cable service was restored this morning. However I still haven't finished cleaning up the mess outside so the bedplate bugs are still having a good time!

Glad to hear no major damage!

As for the Spring Motor Edison, I have the perfect solution. Just keep it at my house. I promise to dust it regularly.

I feel better now. I never did see the culprit because the initial cleaning was done with my shop vac. Under the bed plate was clean so I think he was living under the top works. So now it shines again and after a full lube service it sounds great! Sorry Clay, I'm keeping here and promise to dust it at least once a week!
