    I can't blame you for that...many streets are flooding and even some of the sanitary sewers are backing up in areas of town. My sump pump at home has been running almost non-stop since this morning. It hasn't run that hard since the floods last year. I'm just glad it's keeping up.

    I may not be able to make it tonight. I got a call from my wife that my basement is taking on water and so I have a mess to clean up. If I get it cleaned up quickly, I'll still be there, but no way to tell at this point. Sorry guys . /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/sad.gif

    I'm going to come. There's not a whole lot more that I can do aside from let the humidifier run...I might be a little late.

    And as always EXCELLENT food.

    AJ hows your basement?

    Hey Josh...it's good. I had to replace my backup sump battery (stopped taking a charge about a week before and I had not had a chance to replace it), primary sump pump (after the float switch failed and the pump would not turn off), and the sewage pump. My sump situation has been screwed up for a long time and I need to remedy some drainage issues in the backyard before anything that I do in the basement is even going to make a difference. As a result of the water, I fried my tank lights when the water caused some of the connectors on my JBJ hood lights to arc, melting the connector. I would bet that the ballast is probably fried, but I'm holding out hope that it's not and I'm going to attempt to re-wire it when it get back. Anyway, it's all good for now, but I got work ahead of me when I get back home.

    Was planning on coming but woke up to 4 inches of water in my finished basement. Still trying to recover. You wouldn't believe how much stuff I had to toss. Sorry I missed it guys. I hope it was fun.

    Sorry to hear about that Chris...yeah, we figured that the weather kept a few people home. Sorry to hear that you got hit so hard.

    Hopefully we'll see you once your basement is recovered.

    I have a old light fixture that has some PC ballast in it. If yours is shot then maybe we can try one of them. It won't look the greatest, but might get you by intil the big tank is up and running.
