Wow! K'time must be getting a ton of work done today!!!

I wish....12 hours without power.

Here is a photo diary.

*Crack a neighbor's limb falls on the power and cable lines around 9:30 am or so...power goes out


*Huge voltage line down across the street.


*Neighbor's tree goes down. Garden goes to s*it


*Cherry picker comes to cut tree from lines


*Cherry picker


*New pole comes


*Auger drills hole and put up new pole


Hits 59 degrees...decide to take a bath with whatever hot water is left.

*It gets dark. Candles lit


*More candles lit. Begins to smell like a bordello...3 Macintosh Yankee Candles, 2 Hydrangea Yankee Candles, 1 Mulberry Yankee Candle and a Bob Marley Mystic Candle made of frankincense and myrrh.


*9 pm the wiring truck comes




*Photo not stabilized, but thought it was artsy enough to share


And lights are finally restored! I missed my fellow wooters!

Yep...power was out for 12 hours so they couldn't pump.

My bordello is your bordello (j/k)

Lynnzoi wrote:

nah - she likes the activity! I hope!!

Sure do...somebody has to be gettin' some.

Sounds like fun...you guys got a nice little nor'easter down there. We're picking up the remnants with a little snow.

Josephus wrote:

Just got to wait a little, and those cars drive off.

I kinda have to agree with Alien...the car made it pretty interesting.

When the car was facing toward the street...it looked like you were about go on an adventure.

The empty driveway photo has a sadness to it.

I guess it would depend which mood you were in. Perhaps you can blow it up and have a double-sided frame? Turn it one way when you are sad, another way when you are happy? (Kinda like a mood ring)

Really? It sucked. I never felt so cold.

I like Josephus' woot ice cream cart from hell going by...that thing is really twisted!

Me too...as you can tell I am trying to get caught up after 12 hours of pure silence...

Power goes out from time to time in the winter, so we've got a kerosene heater just in case. Doesn't help with the water though, as we're on a well here.

Josephus wrote:

thanks. I do a lot better just playing around than I do in the contests...no contest for that, though, is there? Can't seem to keep focused on the topic.

Me neither. I rather be antagonistic. Art just happens...

I like the renovations, KT! The place looks great again!

Thanks, still working on it.

Artesian would be nice...that kind doesn't need a pump. We've got a pretty plentiful underground aquifier here, but ya gotta have a pump (and power) to get it out of the ground.

Now - My beer was in the fridge yesterday - where is it today?
