Roughing it...

We're one of 5 houses left in this suburb that haven't had power restored yet.

Since all 5 houses on this circuit have well water, when they powered up the substation on Monday, our circuit blew as all of the wells started pumping.

So it doesn't look like we'll get power until next week. For us, that means no water as well.

Luckily the gym is open.

Our neigbor has a 5000W generator that I'm stealing a bit of power from. Three extension chords are bringing power up the hill through the basement door. From there a web of orange extention chords is powering my cable modem router and modem, (amongst many other things.)

My laptop battery is now at 5%... better hook it up too.
