Let there be light!

Power's back on. Killed a cell tower too. Went out sometime after we went to bed last night. I'm like a internet week behind lol :bigjoint:

You got hit with the howling winds too, huh?
Quite the whirlwind of posts this morning, OMG, I couldn't stop giggling catching up, but that might be the pot and chocolate cashew overdose.

Lucked out on my last service call. Some ancient equipment...banged the side, cycled the power and loosened up the relay contacts that had stuck, I was done and gone! Just like the old TV repair days, lol. (Probably what the guy at the cell tower had to do ,too)

It would have taken hours to check everything before even figuring out what it was connected to, then quote it for replacement. :D

Yeah winds where crazy. Rain and the quick melt caused a lot of flooding. Nothing at my place but the bosses shop had a couple inches in the one corner. No biggie we know it can get wet there. The rivers broke......some people had a real bad day :-(

Did you see about Jay?

That flooding is terrible, can't even clean up afterwards when it freezes.

We're getting lots of road damage from the rapid thaw, shoulders are getting pushed into goo, middle is frozen so asphalt plants are going to open ASAP this year...spring thaw is here.

Figured I would give Walmart delivery another chance...I needed bird food and a few things. They failed miserably, as usual. Ummmm, the bird food is missing, the main thing I wanted. Contact customer support to get a refund, because they won't re-delver just one item. Dumbasses!!

I have had a horrible problem with Walmart delivery and thought it was just me. I use a maildrop, in a strip mall and they 'delivered' HOURS after the maildrop was closed and 'left' it by the door. What is wrong with them. They made me wait 48 hours and then refunded me. F'n nuts.

Man I remember back in the 90's my now-wife and I were on a date at the largest city we could gain access to from our little mid-western college town, you could say the city we went to had half a McDonald's right on the river and they'll show you it.

The roads iced over but we were determined to head 2 hours north and do some partying at real clubs as opposed to the college and country bars our town offered.

The interstates were fine, but once we got into the downtown I gently pressed the brakes on my little 1/2 cylinder chevy geo and slid right through the red light as everyone on either side just let me slide on by, and a sluw of clubbers watched this little blue bubble on big-wheel tires float by.

Maybe it's not THAT bad living in the south and having my AC and dehu running at full power all ready just to keep the VPD in check.
