    My truck is great! All safe in my garage, thanks, Russ!

    But ConEd isn't doing so great. We lost power as you see, and was first a 2 hour window, then 9-10pm, then I woke this morning and still hear the generator running. It's automatic switchover when power is lost and automatic shutoff when restored. But thankfully all is operational in the house!

    So while no power - WE have full power. Was only a matter of time - the NEW neighbor comes over (moved here like 6 months ago, nice folks, disabled adult daughter) - they asked if they can plug in a power strip - so that they don't lose their fridge, but more importantly to utilize the hospital bed and to power the wheelchair. Of course I instantly said yes.

    Generators suddenly make you friends when the power is lost!

    Monday, tropical storm, rainfall: 1.43"


    Today, no tropical storm, rainfall: 3.61"


    And people wonder why I don't get excited when they start issuing warnings...


    Good to hear everyone made it through without too much trouble.
