Just a note to let you folks know that we have got the basement cleaned out and they are clening it as I write this. They have to clean it because of Mold and Mud. I lost a lot of things but we can replace them. Still trying to save some fly tying materials.
The city’s insurance was here today taking pictures and getting ready to say it was someone eleses falt. LOL
I hope to be back in the tying business by late next week if I am real lucky?
I am on my son’s computer writing this he set me up here until I can get up and running on my own. Just letting you folks know how things are going. God Bless. Ron

“I’ve often wondered why it is that so many anglers spend so much money on,and pay so much attention to.the details on the wrong end of the fly line.If they took as much care in selecting or tying their flies as they did in the selection of the reel and rod,They might be able to gain the real extra edge that makes it possible to fool a fish that has,in fact,seen it all before” A.K.Best
Oh does that bring back sour memories of being flooded due to city/government incompetance. Too long a story to post!!
Use lots of bleach to clean up. I’d just throw 2 - 3 gallons in the basement before the water receded!!
This was in “Point Place” a North East Suburb of Toledo, Ohio. Chest waders were refered to as a “Point Place Tuxedo”!! Actually sat in a local pub, knee deep in water being served by bartenders also in waders. What the “H…L” can’t do no more!!
What can I do to help?
I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!
Thanks for wanting to help folks but I am afraid there isn’t much anyone can do right now. We are starting to see the insurance people come around but the frist ( Our Home Owners) Said it would be the city that would have to pay, Then the city came up yesterday and said that the subcontractor that did the grading would have to probably pay for it. They pass the buck real good. But I have talked to a lawyer friend of mine already and I am going to be nice until it is time to not be so nice then I will sue all of them in the same suit for about 5 times what it would cost them to have done right by me in first place. I have told all of them I just want whats right and no more and no less. If they can’t do that then to heck with them. I will do what has to be done. Like I told the insurance guy, it was an act of God that made the rain but it was a stuped act of man that sent that rain water through my house.
But I sure do thank all of you for offering to help. It makes a guy feel good knowing there are good people still out there. God Bless Ron
