After 24 hours<\/em><\/strong> without power. We have electricity again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The scheduled outage was only supposed to be for 12 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re going through the Fridge and the Freezer to see just how much this cost us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s funny, the worst day of the fire, we only lost power for 4 hours. The repairs left us without power for 24 hours. Obviously there was some way they were getting power to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Couldn\u2019t they have replaced the poles, and lines that burned, while keeping the power on, then turned everything off for a few hours to make the final connections?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Just one of those questions that flits through my mind\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d already pulled the emergency solar panels out of the basement this morning. They\u2019ve been charging my battery pack all morning. The battery pack got us through, keeping the phones and other essentials charged, but they were nearing empty this morning. I figured I\u2019d grab all the solar energy I could, as soon as the sun came up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The packs made it to about 50% charge using the panels. Pretty good now that I think about it. I\u2019ll top them off using their adapters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Still holding off restarting the server. The electric company has teased us before. I\u2019m also leaving the solar panels handy for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Ahhh, that first cup of coffee in the morning\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Now off to continue the battle with Federal Express. Big surprise, their website still shows the tracking number with \u201cDelivery Estimate Pending\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

But I\u2019m going to finish a second cup of coffee before I pick up the phone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The fire is over 80% contained, the last I checked. So perhaps we dodged a bullet this time around. Reports say no injuries, (to people, animals, or livestock,) no loss of buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Those fire crews can come by my place anytime. I\u2019ll pour them a glass of my best bourbon. If I can find some at the store I\u2019ll cook \u2018em steaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the report from the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

One plus to all of this\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been blissfully unaware of much of the news. I\u2019d rather conserve power than doom scroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Did one of the networks really switch to golf while the Jan 6th hearings were being televised? WOW! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I wonder what the ratings are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
