That's what my mom said after it (Ike) went past... :laughing:

My folks moved to Texas a little over a year ago. They have missed most of the really bad weather until Ike came along. :eek:

My wife used the cruiser to prop the fence back up after Gustav while I was out of town (sunny CA, actually). I guess it should be her cruiser now, lol.

I wonder if he is trying to move it, or used the tree to make sure it didn't get thown too far from the house. :D

I was thinking the same thing...

It looks like he tied it off to the tree so it stayed home. Great idea :smokin:

If he had the Idea of tying to the tree to keep the cruiser he would have put the winch line at the bottom of the tree. Having the line up high would indicate he is trying to keep the tree from falling on the house.

I'm with you on that one, Bill; the way the front tire is wedged against the curb is a classic "anchoring" technique.

Bill is more familiar with tuck and roll technique than the anchor method.
