Again....really

Couldn't believe it, we came home after an appointment and our power was out again....our neighbors were all out and discussing the frustration.  Turns out that the computer for the electric company shut down the computers because someone had crossed a wire.  The power was out for another 4 hours....we are so dependent on power.

Labor Day Weekend

What a nasty Labor Day weekend for us.  Our power went out on Sat and then when we tried to get our generator to work it would only run for an hour.  I could not use my oxygen as it runs on the geni and I could hardly breathe.  Sat night was hell.  We went out to breakfast on Sunday to try and cool off and so I could catch my breath.  When we got back Al tried to get the geni working but without luck.  We called our friend Earl and he has a geni so he had some ideas.  Thanks to Earl and all his help they got the geni running and I could breathe.  Of course now the weather got cold and damp so we never got comfortable but we figured we were luckier than others.  Thanks to a good friend we got some things to work.
Hoping for a better week for the rest of the week...finally got a good night's sleep last night after the power came back.

It is so funny to me, years ago I would go primitive camping for a week or two at a time, by myself,up north and never even think about having power or electronics.
Now I was enjoying the silence of the neighborhood, but wanted to work on my book and I need power for that.  Times and wants do change as one gets older don't they?
