    One of our members (Vealmonkey) had a fire!, update MOVED BACK IN!!!

    First of Pat (vealmonkey) is OK, just some minor burns to his hands. The bad is he did lose his cat and that was more important then what you will see next. Pat is upset but doing well. The fire started in the kitchen wiring and spread through the first floor. Unfortunately there was a lot of items stored in that area that are lost. The rest was in the basement has water damage and most of the stuff in his upstairs has some water damage and smoke damage. Bandio90 Whtcamaro and Mrsound and I went down to remove as much Trike/Bike stuff we could before the start the demo process. Of course the looters and scrapers were digging through the stuff and stealing stuff. I will attach some pictures of some things.









    it rained all day and it was a complete mess trying to get trucks down the riveway. Every box you picked up broke and every bucket on container that had parts in it was full of water and had to be dumped out and picked back up. I do not wish this on anyone.
    Please do not bother Pat to much but I am sure he would appreciate some comments.

    I've been thinking about Veal, we haven't talked in awhile but always catch up.

    I for 1 : Offer any free services to PAT including but not limited to: Lathe, Mill, Mig, Tig, Press and any parts I have that I am just hoarding. Please3 join in guys, he really is a great person; He's how I met Bruce!!

    So sorry Pat, I hope not too much was lost. If you need me to, I can drive down and give you a hand now or later, I am just glad your OK because that comes first!!

    I just read the cat part, I was already having a sh!t day and words cannot describe how much some grown men love their kitties FARK, I am so sorry.

    In one of the pics you will see half of a Tiger (Rotax) motor melted. The cases are magnieium(sp) and when they burn and you add water they burn hotter, the fire fighter asked what was in there because at one point the hit the box with other cases in it and it lit up higher and it scare them. Home Land Security had come in to make sure there wasnt bomb making going on.

    You really can't fathom the damage that was done until you witness it first hand. Talking to Pat there was a lot of rare items that did not survive. He was real trooper able to identify anything & everything we picked up to load. I'll reaffirm Bruce's comment of giving Pat a little space till he can sort through this tragic life event. Computer access I believe is limited to brief moments at work so a ton of PM's could go unanswered for quite awhile.

    I'm not working right now. I don't have a lot of money but I have time I could possibly donate if bodies are needed.

    Thank you so much Bruce,Mike ,Bando90 and Whtcamaro. It is just a nasty mess I know. I know Pat didn't want it talked about. I'm glad it's out now. I meant every word in the pm I sent Pat. Anything at all. I know Pat just kinda wants some privacy at the moment,but like Bruce said. A nice post on here might lift his spirits. I personally think a collection is in order. Pat might disagree. Then he would just have the problem of,what to do with a little more money My Nephew narrowly escaped a fire that took everything he and his wife owned. Literally burnt the clothes off his back and the hair from his body. Life goes on,but it is sheer hell for a long time. Great post DC
    Please help those who cannot help themselves.

    ALWAYS buying Museum quality machines,3 and 4 wheels. And any and ALL ,NOS parts,EVERY brand.

    I am turning my PM's Off,my Email is billsracing@hotmail.com,put 3WW in the subject. Thanx!
