Sorry to hear that. My power went off, came back on, went back off and came back on multiple times yesterday. I lucked out since it was no more than five minutes at a time. The wind was blowing the rain sideways almost like a hurricane force around 50+ mph.
Iâve been researching portable power for some time and itâs down to 2 units. Ecoflow Delta 3 Max and Oupes Exodus 2400 both around 2400 wh. When on a good sale around $650-$749. They can also be used as a UPS function.
Stay warm and dry. Hope it come on sooner than the estimated time.
This started last evening, rain and wind gusts reaching 90kmh+ (55mph+)
I'm surprised power didn't go out earlier. I've never bothered looking into getting a power generator. I have friends and relatives who swear by it but...meh. In the 31 years we've lived at this current place, it would have come in handy only once. We can live without power for a while. It's really not a necessity for us.
We live in town and the businesses need the power more than we do so the power usually comes back on before the expected time. Although this time around they first said 2PM then changed it to 6PM. Here's hoping. ð¤

This should be a different kind of shit. Not our shit.
Hell no.

Excellent. Had mine done 11 years ago and have had 20-20 vision ever since and don't even need cheaters to read tiny print. Today, at almost 73. I can see better than I could when I was 12. I hope yours turns out as well.
Impressive. I've had 20/400 since I was 15. Wore contacts for over thirty years, until I got two corneal infections in a year and went to tri-focals.
Yikes, sorry to see that, D. This getting old crap is not easy, for sure.

In the waiting room to get the other cataract done. Excited.

It's just gone 0700h....with the first Test match of the current Ashes cricket series on the screen in the corner, I am dismantling for cleaning and service a lovely 50-year old Imhoff alarm clock that I found as a 50th birthday gift for HerLoveliness. Reasembly and regulation will follow.
Later, when the sun comes up, I will have to mow a section of the lawn I re-seeded a month ago.
That will be my day.
$$$$$$ I'll be walking funny for awhile ...but the showers can be endless ...
Been an expensive year with new windows back in August on top of this.
A few years back we had new windows installed in our basement and the guy who installed them said he was surprised no one ever broke into our house. The windows he replaced weren't that secure, I guess.
