DID lose power for 7-8 hrs, just came back on about 45 min ago. Yep, right after I filled the generator with gas & started to plug into the meter connection. Bam -- ON. Nice.

The line power would have come back on a lot earlier if you had gotten the generator ready much sooner

Probably -- BUT I had to wait for the 60 mph winds to slow down first.....or be blown away!

Army belly crawl out to the generator? It would be worth it if the power came back on as soon as you had the generator ready

Power company linemen are my heroes. They are often out in gosh-awful conditions. After Florence, it wasn't unusual to see cars pull over and give convoys of bucket trucks the right-of-way so they could get to their assigned work areas quicker.

Coffee is on.... maker decided not to work today...but kerique is working.
Yesterday my son John got to participate in Area 4H tractor driving. He had a couple good runs and one not so good. The other boy from our county gets to go on to state. Excited for him. Clean rabbit cages then a Walmart run and Feed run. Hoping to get beans and corn put up but that'll probably be tomorrow.
Prayers for safety for all in the storms way.

A tractor run sounds like fun, glad your son got to participate and have a couple of good runs. Thanks for the coffee!

Yesterday I took the day off. No canning. Today I'll probably pay for it. LOL Got to slice cucumbers and put to soak in lime water, then cook and can them tomorrow, wash, blanch and put purple hull peas in the freezer, snap and can Kentucky Wonder beans, and tomatoes are staring at me from the table.

For some reason, my knee woke me up at 3 AM in pain and I couldn't straighten it. Great. THAT'S all I need! I've rubbed it with Arnicare, I have work to do! I am not hobbling around so good......

Our friend and hay guy has Covid-19. His wife had it first, she is a nurse in a doctor's office, now he has it. They both have jobs of exposure, he works for a soft drink beverage company and is in and out of stores and public places all day. His parents live on one side of them, his grandmother lives on the other side of them. I hope neither of them gets Covid too.

I must go to work today Mon had to prep things before storm, yesterday storm & check things, some clean up. Now -- yep, gotta do the work. Normally I would not mind BUT....I want to go buy & pick up some chickens that are 113 miles away. Work is truly getting in my way. Fig friend just called to remind me to pick up another 20#. Add to today's rounds. Coffee is sure welcome !!! Need 30 hr days.

BUT -- sun is out, temps more normal in mid 80s. Life is good. Just busy. Feed bins full, animals all here. Goat auction moved from 8/8 to 8/15...good for me, I need the time with losing 2 days this week. Juggle!

Everyone have a great day

Me too. While they may be strong enough to kick it, the parents and grandmother may not be.

Need 30 hr days

Yeah! Then we could sleep another 6 hours

30 hr days would just make you need longer ones.... Believe me, I feel the same. And with the knees I work even slower than you do I am sure. Yep, work is getting in the way of things.....
