Sure we'll save $30, but the bill for the hotel was $575.

 

ok in a continuing effort to keep Bill in an utter state of boredom allow to assert this is getting really old fast.

last night around 11:00 the power went out again.
jut got it back now.



sigh when is the next bus to Key West

 

Seriously Jerry, that sucks. Do you have above or underground utilities in your neighborhood?

 

Urban legend has it that one electric utility's call center received a call during a major outage from a customer who wanted to be assured that he wasn't being billed for the time his electricity is out. Said legend has it that the call center rep asked the customer to take a flashlight outside and look to see if the wheels in the meter were spinning. "Not spinning? Nope, you aren't being charged."

Bill Engvall would add, "Here's your sign."

 

I'm jealous........day 7, no power.......I hope it's back up today as there's two storms coming this weekend.....

 

I was at a meeting yesterday with a woman who has friends in southern NH. At least one town has shut the schools down til after the new year.

 

with powered restored yet again after another days outage...( this is getting old)

so these are the shots from the day of and cleanup...

this was looking out the bedroom window and looking at where the ML was parked.


the cleanup


My neighbor bailed me out with his chainsaw.



towing off the trunk to the wood pile.

I had this silly idea that my son and I would carry that to the wood pile.
it only weighed liked 800 pounds

reduced to size


and the carnage left for spring cleanup


gonna be one hell of a bonfire.

 

is that a hatchet - i give you credit for your persistence

oh and if and when you do get a chainsaw - PLEASE spend the $60.00 and get chainsaw chaps - trust me they work!!

 

Jerry the hatchet man.

Right now I'm thankful for our small yard with no large trees.

 

why yes Steve, that is a hatchet and a dull one a that.
However lacking a chain saw i did what i had to do.
My neighbor "what are you doing?"

and those chaps are multi-functional, right?
