We've lost power off and on for the last week or so.. We usually loose it in the early morning and get it back some time that evening..

Dont ya have windmill power? Or do ya just install it and have regular stuff?


Well I made it through the crowds. Didnt find much for deals though, found a decent looking cheaper bbq for 180 bucks, and found a good deal on a 46 inch tv with a surround sound system for 1200 bucks, but decided to just wait and not get anything like that till I get the new house built.

I know that a guy who used to work for my dad who our family is still good friends with is up in New Hampshire trying to get power back to places in NH that lost power last Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

At one point they had police escorts with the utility trucks because some guy went out to a crew and told them if he didn't have power by the end of the day he'd shoot them all.
