Howdy Rick. Not much. How are you doing? Don the last time we had the power out at my house it was because the local utility had to do some line maintenance on the feeder that covers my street. They had to do some tree trimming and had to be right next to the lines for a few hours. But I have a small generator that I fired up to keep the fridge and the freezer going.

Wasn't enough time to clear off the couch for a place to sit.

No John. I live near a peaking power plant. They only fire it up when it is needed. So it only sees alot of use during the summer.

Power goes underground down on the corner. Our power goes out because of problems elsewhere in the City.
