Happy new year everyone.  Here I am with no electricity again.  I didn't even get to drink my coffee yet when it went out. I had just logged on here to read the blogs when it went out.  Kinda scary as the power spiked up and down, thought it might fry the puter. I have lived here for a little over three months and this is the second time I have lost power.  I just heard on Fox 2 my area is getting the worst of the snow storm.  Not to worry, I have a generator and run the whole house off it.  It happend around 6am today.  Still, I had to go out to the pole barn in the dark and I got all covered in snow.  Generator is not automatic, I have to physically start it.  I guess I will have to venture out later for more gas.  I have about a 16 hour supply in the tank.  I always keep a full gas can in case this happens.  I am glad I did.

Are you without power?  I wonder if this is local (I think it may be)

Any way, Happy no power everyone, Sarge.

I was just on the fox 2 chat room with Justin Ryan, It is pretty cool. Justin logged off for now but said he will be back on when he gets home.

Good morning Sarge; Sorry to hear about the power outage in your area. Anchor Bay area has had no power loss I know of. Hopefully, they will restore it quickly for your area. Happy New Year to you & yours!

sarge nothing like back up

I do not worry so much about power loss myself. the only thing you really need in the winter is heat, hence my woodstove and a pile of wood every winter, Since I installed the stove not once has the power gone off!!

I use the stove almost every night and all day on weekends, then I laugh at michcon as my bills are more than 1/2 of what it would have been.

HAPPY NEW YEARS

Colt, a woodstove is great. I am getting an outdoor woodstove/furnace in the spring.

China is not a level playing field. "Competeing" with China is just a lie to try to silence true Americans. It is not possible to "compete" with China when their labor, environmental laws are non existent. The use of tax breaks for business's to send jobs overseas and creating the path for business to do the same is traitorous and should be abolished.
