Power Outages

We lose commercial power more than most. It went out last night - and is still out.

I simply fired up our inverter - and ran on batteries last night. Commercial power was still out this morning. I fired up the generator, got water pressure up - got the water heated - and started recharging the batteries.

Such fun.

Then to make shit really interesting - a buddy just called. His car died. He' s having it towed here for me to look at.

Panic

Around here the power is not out very often and usually for less than an hour. When I was a kid, I enjoyed the power outages that would last anywhere from 1 to 5 days. Everything was an adventure back then.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
