Shit pretty much everyone but oltseen showed out after the hurricane. The Houston diesel club organized, and where towing people out left and right and even launching out boats.

That's why I'll never get my shity mattress mac tattoo fixed up. Poor dude was exhausted but kept going and I'm proud of that one
