So hey, how about that wind storm last Sunday. Huh?

The TV and internet run through the same modem so when it got knocked out, thankfully we still had the DVR to watch. That was good for about 90 minutes or so and between power winks, until the power went out completely. Now I don't know where you live but in western Pennsylvania, no power and no heat in February isn't fun. I know, I've had fun and that wasn't it.

The generator ran straight on through until Tuesday morning somewhere after 3 AM when the power finally came back on. In the meantime we ran a space heater, then two, in the living room. Hunter Bahamut slept on the couch with his electric blanket, daughter slept bundled up on the couch, #2 son and girlfriend slept in their room but did not take an extension cord with them so I don't know how they kept warm, and I don't wanna know. A couple of months ago I built one of those TV stands with the fake fireplace/electric heater and was amazed how that didn't heat the room much at all. I know it was fighting 21F and lower temps but I expected more.

So the lights and furnace have been on since Tuesday morning and the internet finally came back on this morning. So I'm back, baby!
