Tool of the Day!

It's that time of the year again.........storm season! Brian (as well as the rest of his family) remember all too well the huge storm that blew through our neighborhood last summer. Maybe it is so engraved in our memory because we had only been home from the hospital with our brand new baby Spencer a couple hours before the storm hit! We were without power for several days and during that time we learned some very valuable lessons about what items must be in the house at all times. Flashlights, candles and a battery operated radio were all on our list but Brian suggested that we invest in the all in one Vector VEC-135 Storm Tracker. He liked that it has a flashlight, television and radio but it still very light and easy to carry. He especially likes that in addition to being able to be plugged in or run on batteries, you can also turn a crank on the side that will generate enough power to operate the radio and light if needed. Now that we are ready for the next storm of the century - hopefully we won't need to ever use it!



Brian would like to let you know that if you would like to add a Storm Tracker to your home safety kit, Home Depot has them on sale to the point they are practically giving them away. It could have something to due with the new cable box requirements that are coming which will mean the television will only work until next February, but that's okay. When you are huddled in your basement who needs more than a flashlight and a radio anyway?
AND........Brian sends big hugs and kisses out to Grandma and Grandpa who are celebrating their Anniversary today! We are all looking forward to next weekend when we can give you those hugs and kisses in person!
