WAHOO!!! THE POWER IS BACK ON!!

WE LOST POWER YESTERDAY JUST BEFORE NOON TIL ABOUT 9 PM LAST EVENING. WE HAD HIGH WINDS AND HIGHER GUSTS. REL'S COMPUTER FRIED DUE TO THE POWER SURGES AS DID THE DVR BOX. THE BOX HAS BEEN REPLACED. REL'S COMPUTER WAS "FIXED" TODAY IN THE SHOP BUT WHEN WE BROUGHT IT HOME, IT'S STILL NOT WORKING. :( (REL IS NOT HAPPY)

IT WAS A LONG 9 HOURS WITHOUT ELECTRICITY. THANKFULLY, IT WAS FAIRLY MILD OUTSIDE. WE WERE TOASTY WARM IN THE KITCHEN. DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO FIRE UP THE WOOD STOVE.

WE HAVE A CRANK EMERGENCY RADIO AND FLASHLIGHT, LOTS OF BATTERIES, LAMP OIL & LAMPS. WE PLAYED RUMMY AND LISTENED TO ROCK N ROLL.

NOT A BAD WAY TO SPEND A SUNDAY AFTERNOON!
