R.I.P Slug???

[slug]

Well, sitting here in arlington tx after evacuating from ike, so far from home and living out of a suitcase. the only thing i really had a chance to get was my 07 gmc (wich i evacuated in) and my 08 honda rancher 420. i can only imagine the horror of how the salt water that flooded our home town has effected my 83 chevy silverado swb. a friend of mine went to check out my house and he said there is a water mark at least 3 foot up the wall. and everything is covered in mud. the house can be rebuilt no prob, but the slug.......... thats the question. i was waiting till this fall to strip her down and re-paint the old girl. after sitting in limbo for over 6 years i finnaly got her running and had everything going the way i wanted. i guess i can just tear her down and go a frame off resto now. maybe get everything chemicle dipped or something. i would hate to lose this truck. i have had it for the last 13 years. oh yeah, my girl friend lost her 2001 toyota tacoma extended cab sr5 4x4 that she just paid off, good thing she had full coverage insurance on her truck. my mother and father are headed back to s.e.tx from mississippi today to check the dammage that this storm has caused. im in good spirit and i think im takeing it well. i will ask for yall to send a prayer up stairs to the big man and pray for the people and familys of the people who didnt make it throught this tragedy. i can gripe about my beloved "slug" all day long, but my kids, family, girlfriend, and my self are all safe. and thats the most important thing.
