Yeah,........ I'm keeping both eyes on that one for sure. I'd like to see some upper level winds knock that one down before it gets anywhere, but I don't think that's going to happen with Irma. I hate those damn things.

Yeah, I know. You live in a general hurricane path, too, don't you? They seem to like to hit around that area. At least when I lived in St. Petersburg, it was sort of in a like a notch where the hurricanes don't typically mess with. The closest we got hit was Hurricane Elena in 1985, although wasn't there something that happened around there a few years ago? I know they had a lot of rain and all of that, from what my sister and friend that lives down there said. Actually, my sister and my parents moved to North Carolina a few months ago, which also gets nailed with that crap.

Yeah, you've had some doozies rip through down there. You remember Homestead with Hurricane Andrew? I think that place got flattened.

Andrew was suppose to hit my place dead on, and then it made a fateful left turn straight toward, and into Homestead, southern Dade County. I had some feeder bands that came though my area, and took out a couple of good size branches from a black olive tree in the yard.
In 2010, Wilma hit here directly, and made a hell of a mess.

You had an olive tree? I never knew anyone down there that had any of those. Usually, it was various fruit trees. We had an avocado tree in the yard of my parent's old place. You know, the big green ones, not the smaller ones. I forget the name of them.

No I mean avocados. The darker small ones are called Haas (bought one in the store today, so I found that out) I can't remember the name of the bigger green ones.

Do mean Mango's, they are about twice the size of Haas. My neighbor behind me, on the next street has a mango tree.

I looked it up and it's called a Choquette avocado. It originated in Miami, from what I've read.

Well, to get this thread back on topic (we have a habit of doing that, don't we? :P) You should be getting your new Precision pretty soon, right? Do you ship the loner back, or take it to the store?

OK. I suppose the hurricane might be the reason for the delay.

The Hallandale store will ship to the Coconut Creek store. When it get's there, they call me, and I turn in the loaner to that store. and take my new one home.
