Be sure to tag me in the blame post so I know when to be appropriately sorry for the turmoil I caused  :hide: :lol1:

OMG I have power.

16 yr old kid sheared the power pole off across the street (he's okay, luckily)...we didn't have power from around 6:00 pm last night until 5:39 am this morning.

Glad we got that extra insulating done and the weather hasn't been too bad. Only got down to 61F last night in here, it was around 30F outside.

Hot coffee always tastes better after a power outage.

Ugh. Long power outages suck. We get them here all the time because we live rural and there's a ton of old trees. The moment we get too much ice, they go down like dominoes but we can heat by woodstove which is a huge help.

Power outages do suck. We had one that went on for a few days and we had to buy candles and flashlights and whatnot.

Though I'd argue problems with your water supply are worse. A few years ago, someone determined the water feed to us was contaminated with some shit and we had to boil everything for two months and get our drinking water from elsewhere.

Geez, what a hassle. What about baths/showers?

The Thai lady I volunteer with asked me to her house on Sunday. I look forward to going but she has a very old silky terrier that I don't even want to touch. Unfortunately I'm fussy about the dogs I like and don't like. Cats - I like them all.

A new rugby shirt that I purchased online arrived today.   My old (40+ y/o) shirt finally became to worn to wear.  It was the softest, most comfortable shirt I ever owned.  I bought it used at either a thrift store or a yard sale.  It's the shirt I am wearing in my FB profile pic.  There were only so many frayed seams and poked holes that I could reasonably sew up.  I tried the new one on and it feels good, I'll wear it to work this weekend.  Once I get the initial washing done.

That was OK. We were strongly advised not to drink the water, that's all.

We get water outages occasionally due to freezing.

We had a major snow storm around 10 years back that knocked everything out for weeks, they've been extra vigilant with the tree trimming ever since and upgraded a lot of water lines, power outages are getting rare now, and my lines going to the house from the road are underground.

Yep, I'd much rather not have power...anything too long of either  the Hampton Inn is 2.5 miles up the road.

Hot tub, breakfast buffet, cable tv, and high speed internet. :zoinks:

It rained a bit. Some bushfire reprieve.

I mean some as in, the rain only seems to end the battle, not the war. The peat fire shall exist forever.

Both of my kids were wonderfully helpful and supportive today, and I'm really proud of them.
