Sunday night Dec. 10th I lost power.
We had freezing temperatures with no way to heat our house.
We had to use the burner from a fish fryer and seal off one room just to break the chill.
I had an inverter in my vehicle and ran an extension cord from the car to the house.
It would run the TV, DVD Player and a small lamp, just enough to keep our sanity.
After 6 days of that crap my uncle calls to check on us, Come to find out he just bought a Hobart welder/generator. I had to travel a little ways but it was well worth it!
5 days of running a generator and having the weather head and meter reattached to the house, Power was restored! What a PIA!
Others had it worse than I. Some had no heat or lights for a long time!
Fortunately I also survived by the smoker! Sorry no lights no Q-Views.
However I still do not have internet! My cable is lying on the ground and who knows when theyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]re going to fix it. The cable company was suppose to come fix it the 22nd , When they didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t show up I called. The service tech said it was repaired ?????????
Lazy sucker didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want to put down his coffee and get out of the van to climb a ladder.
So now I have been put off until the 28th .
As far as my job, the contract was over the Friday before all this started and I start a new one in the beginning of the year. So no SMFing at work either!
I am going freaking crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This all has really put a damper on my funds. I will not be able to afford to smoke anything for awhile.
One great thing about this ice storm and all the trees falling is, I have huge stacks of Pecan, Maple, Plum, Hickory and Oak Wood. Seasoning for future use. WOOHOO!
Other than all the internet useâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s I have missed out on, I have sure missed SMF!
Merry Christmas to all of you!
This was the view from my back porch. This was nothing compared to the rest of tulsa!
