Re: Wish I were there....

Working on the continuous driveway restoration project would fit right in with your weight-lifting goals. Win-win.

I don't have a spare generator. I have a car that will take me to the homes of friends with electricity. That doesn't protect the house from freezing pipes, and the oil furnace has an electronic igniter, so I'm at risk there. The power has been flaking in and out more this month than in the previous 16 months combined, but the longest outage so was less than a minute. The only bother so far has been resetting clocks, again...and again and again.

We've had one "real" power outage since I moved here. Even then, the power came back on before the UPS powering my cable modem, router, and computers ran out of juice.

Yes, I'm probably speaking all too soon. Last night when I toddled up to bed, I found a spot where the chimney is leaking into the upstairs fireplace. Drip. Drip. Drip. The cap was still in place last I noticed...must remember to look again the next time I'm out.

Stuff's flying sideways outside my windows right now. I'm staying in for the rest of the afternoon!
