After getting home from Canada a little after 11, grabbed a quick snack, caught up with the wife and hit the hay around midnight. With nothing scheduled until late Saturday afternoon, I figured I would sleep in a bit.
2:11 AM. Phone is buzzing. Amish neighbor had her baby at home as they usually do but there was an issue and she needed to be run to hospital. Sat in the parking lot until around 4:30 and took her home. Went back to bed, still planning on sleeping in.
6:44 AM. Power goes out. As it is pretty warm and muggy even that early, house turns into a sauna in about two minutes. Some dipshit ran the stop sign near our house, got t-boned and snapped a power line pole. Crews from Indiana Michigan Power are on the job replacing the pole and the generator is running keeping the fridge and freezers running, plus the all important internet, but it will be a bit before the power comes back on.
I am so tired I am starting to hallucinate.
Waking up not knowing if its morning or evening or even what day it is is always fun.
There are two trucks down there now, getting ready to set the new pole so it shouldn’t be long. It isn’t even 10 yet and it is already cooking.
Hopefully they will get you up and running soon Brother…
I’ll run the digger you go up and play with the killywiggles!
Sounds like a plan Brother…
Sorry to hear that Art. At least Indiana is 78.9% White.
That shit happens down here in Tejas frequently. A drunk, uninsured messican, a miracle-American stoned out of his simian brain or purple hair Karen, looking at her phone to see her Gaybook page.
At least we have a Generac standby now.
What an incredible load of shitiness in one 8 hour stretch. One does sometimes wonder how much can go wrong in a third of one day when taking compound hits like that.
My central air here died overnight, after troubleshooting it appears to be a seized compressor, so now I get to replace the condensing unit. Have a portable already setup and running since 4am when I woke up sweating my ass off. Barely keeping the house at 76° right now, which is tolerable, but not great. And it’s only 12:30 here now, so we aren’t even into the worst heat of the day yet.
I have a spare used condensing unit, but it is larger then the evaporator coil by a half ton, so really shouldn’t use it due to the mismatch. Awfully tempting though, since it will not cost me anything except a few pounds of R-22 to charge the system up. Trying to decide now what my course of action will be.
How about those YT Pypo power crews in the cat box by live lines at any hour!
I thought it was fireworks display for D-Day, went outside line down and arcing.
They got it fixed in just over an hour with three trucks.
One day Rastus, Ahmed and Paco will be the diversity uber alles crew?
Bwahaha! This steaming shit ridden butt plug of a mongoloidocracy gets everything it deserves.
Burn this MOFO down.
Yes, enjoy the fruits of White ingenuity and labor while we still have it. Soon enough nothing will work for shit, because incapable mud world idiots will be fucking it all up.
Not fun. Typical power outage here is measured in minutes.
