Thanks for the concern Matt. I've been busy keeping the fireplace burning and hauling wood for the elderly neighbor. We lost power on monday night and haven't gotten it back yet. Our office also didn't get power back until today, so I couldn't get online to check in.

We are doing ok as long as I keep feeding wood to the fireplace. I've also kept busy assisting an elderly neighbor with keeping her fireplace stocked with wood.

Del - I guess Curtis has been leaving you a few messages. (but if your cell was out then you didn't get them) When I talked to him this morning he was going to drive over and check on you, you might want to give him a call.

I talked to Curtis this morning. I had tried to call him a couple of days ago, but he must have been busy as he didn't answer and I didn't leave him a message.

Thanks a bunch all for the concern. We're doing OK and hope to have electricity soon. It is amazing how spoiled we get and take it for granted.

Thanks Rollie, I borrowed one from Scott and I'm hoping they will have power up again tonight. The trucks are in the area and they had the one major line that was down back up.

WooHoo, the power came back on after lunch today. No more chopping wood and still freezing.

I'd get a generator, but I visited with the neighbor lady who has lived out there for 40 years and she said this is only the second time the power has been out for more than a day or two.

Good to hear that Del but in the future i'd still invest in a generator i'd rather have one and not use it and not have one and need it.

I really need to get one. We almost always have a freezer full of meat. Last time I just rented one.

My son in law bought one and I used it for a day after his power come on. Nice thing about the generator is that it has two 20 amp 110 circuits and one 30 amp 220. We have already been talking about how it my be handy when we go off roading and break something.
