    Angry Dang dust storm

    This crap totaly sucks. We just got back from Dallas and had to drive 300+ miles in nothing but dirt It never let up once, heck the closer to home the worse it got due to the Cotton farmers. That crap got into everything. We had mini sand dunes inside our house...some how the wind blew it under must of the doors. Our pool looks like a swamp and part of a our fence got blown down. I thought to my self, I'm glad I parked the Harley in the garage. Ya right, I open the back door and the Harley was covered in dirt!! I even had teh windows cracked Thank God the inside only got a dab of dust. I took the air hose to the truck...not sure how good that was but it sure cleaned it up fast.

    Yea it was awful! I was down in Duncanville and myself and a friend were talking about how it reminded us of pictures from Iraq and that sort.

    Then i got told not to go WOT on my truck, cause the fine dust would more than likely go right through my big *** S&B Filter and get in the motor. So i cruised home, it took forever!

    I had washed the truck saturday morning and by 1 it looked like a mudball and I didnt even get to drive it, I washed it again before I left work, still got dusty last nite tho.
    Im glad weve got the pool cover, a pita to put on and take off but its worth it at times.

    Fuz, I forgot about you bro, sorry. U got a PM

    I'm used to dust storms being from West Texas but that one took the cake. Well I'm going to go add some water to the pool. It's got so much dirt I'm vaccuming to waste. I think I'll back wash it as well...DE filter.

    That was an experience. My neighborhood is up on a hill and several of my neighbors had roof damage.

    My truck was also assaulted! Guess I will wash it again today.
    Yes officer... I am aware of how fast I was going!

    I saw a roof off a building, couple trees down and telephone poles.

    Heard about even more damage.

    wow!
    I blew the dust off the pool cover & off the concrete around it today then ran the sprinklers so it would settle in the grass, thanks to the 17% humidity we had today it was easy, took a peek and hers is still clean except for the usual stuff that gets in there over the winter.


    Ill peel it off and clean it out in a few weeks, its getting warm again finally, I hate cold weather.

    Well she is in better shape now but not 100%. I'll let the pool cleaner have it tonight. Then tomorrow I'll make a fine tooth run. I spent a few hours on it and now I'm ready for the Pizza guy
