being sustained at that with gusts is pretty windy. You can keep it. We've had enough wind for a while. I don't know about there but that would cause some wide spread power outages

Good you have some activities planned for tomorrow.

I had to have new power service put in today. Something happened to one of the original 120v lines. Was only getting 80v or so from it. That happened Saturday night. Have to replace the phone line because that was wrapped around the original buried power lines.

Back on the grid now

Its always windy out here. No power outages from this wind. Takes a lot more wind to cause outages out this way.

We have more densely forested land here with lots of power lines cutting through them.

To me, that is kind of boring landscape because I am not used to it. I like being in the trees and mountains.

Good morning Jim!

Yeah it is all what you are use too. Your mountain views would be cool but looking out my window and only seeing trees would get boring to me. I am use to being able to see for miles.

Evening fellas!

Just trying out some LED bulbs for the truck. I ordered a couple to see and one set has a driver module and when I turn on the fogs the high beams come on. Hmmmm not sure about that. The other set I tried work like normal but don't have a driver module. What to do, what to do?
