Sourdoughs ALIVE.......Grid Down 9 days & still down

[Sourdough]

We have had 9 days no phones & no electric. Three back to back high wind storms, and heavy wet snow. They don't have any idea when the electric will be up. They just hauled in a generator to get the phones up temporally.

Glad you're doing well.

[pgvoutdoors]

Hang in there old friend, you've seen worse and know what it takes to get through it.

[hunter63]

Well that sucks,.... just after all the new wiring and such....goes to show you that all these new fangled convirnces can be a one more thing to worry about.
Hang in there.

[BENESSE]

Just think of it as a SHTF drill.
Happy to hear you're OK...I was worried...you've been gone just a tad too long and you weren't even ticked off.

[Rick]

Hope you're doing okay despite the inconveniences.

[Sourdough]

I am doing fine. As Lady B said, I just think of it as a dry run. Mostly it is just boring.

Hope you're doing okay despite the inconveniences.

9 days! That's a long outage for anywhere in the civilized world.

[Pal334]

Hang in there and read some good books

[Rick]

Everyone is trying to get off the grid and you're trying to get on it.

9 days! That's a long outage for anywhere in the civilized world.

Yes, now ten days, and NO end in sight. The phones were up for a little under two hours yesterday.

[crashdive123]

Guess I called at the right time.....I must be psychotic or something like that.

[Rick]

You called Alaska!? I'll bet you were dropping dimes in that pay phone for an hour.

[crashdive123]

[huntermj]

I hope all works out well despite crashes snitching.
