OK, I am on a computer at work (and its busy so I am snatching a few seconds) to tell you guys that we are having issues at home with the electrical power, and I do not know how much I will be able to be around until the power is back on. :razz:

The kids and I heard an explosion off in the distance yesterday morning, and the power died a second or so later. :evil:

We think a transformer blew up.

The whole neighborhood is out again. :razz:

We have called Detroit Edison a bunch of times, and they are not even giving estimates on how long the repair will take. :evil:

Since we have a well, that means we have no running water. :cry:

No showers or baths. :cry:

No washing anything - people, pets, or things. :cry:

No flushing the toilets. :cry:

Since our little portable generator died in the middle of the night last night, we cannot even run a lamp and the fridge.

So, obviously, no computer at home until we get power back... :razz:

The record for an outage at our house is 4+ days...

If it is out that long, you might not hear much from me until next weekend, when I will be in Indiana with my son and his laptop... :razz:

I am still at work, but happier. The family called to tell me that the power is on at home. :cloud:

When I get home I will flush a toilet a couple of times for the joy of it. :wink:

Then I will take one of the longest and hottest showers in the history of the world.

Glad to hear it.

Me, I woulda had a great long weekend but on Saturday night the GF's father crashed his bike and is in hospital. Still waiting to hear how he's gonna be. So that spoiled it a bit.

How's the girlfriend holding up, Av? Could she use some calming vibes sent her way?

Congrats!

We should call you the "Demolition Man" for demolishing posting records everywhere you go. Now if we can just get Sly Stallone to play you...
