Took it out storm spotting and acted as a radio relay between Richmond, VA; Stafford, VA; and the NWS in Sterling, VA for several hours.

Richmond is getting hammered by storms today, with three confirmed tornadoes, power outages, fallen trees, and more nasty weather coming. If it keeps up like this our county may be sending teams down to Richmond to help out with communications.

Tried to move the 80 lb. bag of concrete out the back of it that I bought last weekend. It wasn't happening, not with my back the way it is. A guy at Lowe's loaded it for me, now I can't get the fucker out without help. :uhoh:

Cut a hole in the bag and let it pour out into a bucket.

2 drawbacks to that.

1. How the hell am I gonna move the bucket if I do that? :lol:

2. I have a Suburban, not an actual truck. This bag is in the cargo area of my Suburban. If I cut open a bag of quickrete I'll have dust all over my truck.

Scott, if you have a wheel barrow take a door mat and a 2X6. Put the 2X6 from the 'burb to the wheel barrow, slide the bag of cement up onto the door mat and drag it down the board into the wheel barrow. Have one of the kids or the wife give you a hand.

1. Nobody said empty the entire bag at once. Do 1/2 the bag.

2. Slid the bag to the door and let it hang then just put the bucket under it and poke the hole.
