Winter storms cause havoc!
 
I've had some PMs/emails asking why I've not been more active, or not replying quicker to messages.

In Jan, we had winter weather. Not snow, but mostly icy rain. That's where the "fun" began. :unsure:

The power cables here are above ground.
--- I'm sure of you don't need to read any more, you can already guess. :depressed:

Rain collects on power poles, drips into icicles.
Then unexpected sudden wind gusts causes bouncing icicles.
Then power gets really erratic.

We lost the dryer, the kitchen light fixture, the dining room computer, and even my coffee maker. So my "free time" has been entirely spent on that.

Almost done, I will be back. :cool:
