    Mine was starting to get grumpy while cooking last night because she couldn't see well enough, so we made olive oil lamps. I will have to get some more lanterns in.

    Have you thought about slamming the truck into your local service line? You know, take matters into your own hands.

    I am hoping the motor in Henry hasn't seized. Stalled out back in December, can't get under to check things out until the snow thaws.

    sometimes a power outage is a nice change of pace, makes you think...and it looks like you have your bases covered Mr. Grizzly

    The worst part about that storm for me was working all night to get others power on only to come home to none. Makes it worse when you know what the problem is and how to fix it. Sorry did not mean to jack thread. I chose my occupation though and would not change a thing about it.

    Ice storms are terrible, it has been 65 degrees today. I spent most of the day motorcycle riding with a t-shirt on. Now we are under a winter storm warning with heavy ice and power outages possible. Going to be 20 tonight. Some crazy weather for sure.
