    Default Was a power outage all I needed?

    Big thorms came through and my power has been out for over 24 hrs. The outage is very wide spread and since I live in the sticks I'm sure I'll be among the last to power again. I have a generator large enough to run the Medo air pump that powers the whole fish room, the LED lights, my fridg, small deep freeze, a couple of reading lamps and 4 box fans. Aquarium heaters would be too much for it.

    This morning I came down to the fish room to see number one pair pecking on the cone. I don't imagine that anything will come of it, but just may be the fish will give me a happy surprise.

    I hope they get your power restored soon. It gets expensive running a generator. We ran ours for a week after an ice storm thirty years ago. We and the fish survived as we had gas heat.

    It came back yesterday afternoon. I have all but the longest heaviest contractor's cords rolled up neatly and put away. Life is back to my normal acceptable level of chaos. It was a trial, though. Those 40 lbs propane canasters are heavy for me!

    I'm thinking that I might unplug the heater on my number 1 pair again, because the flirting has stopped. May be they liked being at 79 degrees.
