That hurts (I've been there)!? I lost all of my equipment (except
for one radio and some parts) back in 2010, when someone got angry
at a letter to the editor I'd written and torched my electronics
workshop/home laboratory.? (I'm still working on recovering.)?
I've also had vehicles destroyed in accidents, and because of the
county (never informed me of the court date when a woman hit me
head-on while driving in the wrong lane - she got the ticket for
it but it was all dropped "because you didn't show!!!") took a
total loss on the vehicle.? (A clue about my driving skill and
history - over 1.2 million miles driven with no at-fault accidents
in the last 35 years.)
I hope you can find the resources to get back on your feet very
soon.? The longer you have to wait, the more it hurts.
Good luck!? I'm hoping the best for you - and that the impact to
your life becomes minimal!

?I went to town yesterday to get hay and do a bit of
shopping.
?When I got home, I thought the damned thing was
steaming. Turned out to be smoke. The truck went up in a
blaze, only 2 or 3 items can be salvaged. On the good side, at
least none of my radios were in it, other than a good AM/FM/CD
Stereo.
?The 2 meter radio I had in it had decided to not turn on, and
with the kind of switching used in it, plus the SD
devices,Impossible for me. ?I gave it away
for the cost of shipping.
I took a few pictures of my truck today, and checked to see if
anything in the "tool box" might still be okay.
?Nope. Only a good part of the alfalfa, and an item on the
floor that will need some cleaning up and treatment.
?Don't think anything else will be able to be saved, but just
maybe the gear/pully puller. Did not feel like doing much out
there, as it is warm. Wait till the sun drops and it cools
down some.
Over $100.00 in food and pother items all up in smoke.
?Will be a while before I do much with my BITX radios now.

?I should add, I don't have funds to get another
vehicle.......... Was just getting things caught up and was
needing another tire for a spare.
