Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

We had a heavy gust of wind and heavy rain fell about 45 minutes ago

It lasted about 5 minutes tops

The ac and lights went out then


All our electric is buried underground in our hoa
But down the road all power lines are on poles so it has to be an issue down the Main Street

I looked at the site map and looks like other others are powerless also

I had just finished charging my phone
So got lucky there

Can use candles for light if this goes on for hours
Ac is a different story

I’m outside the city limits and more rural area

Believe we will have a long wait before power is restored


Was watching the one Law and Order show I had not seen before

Other than that, all’s good

 

[buckeev]

YIKES MAC! Been there-Done that!

 

[macraven]

Yes Buckeev I remember you had the flooding and it caused great issues for your relative

Did you get his house fixed up yet?

It has to be many many months to get your area back to normal
Thought some sections are still unable to recover

I’m on a ridge so above any possible flood issues

But to get off the ridge to the main drag is okay ... kind of as 5 -6 blocks down that road is a creek

That area floods the intersection
But never more than a day

Our house is all electric
So sandwiches can be dinner if power is out for a long time

Buckeev how was your spring vacation?
Any plans to return again this fall?

Patty - Have a great trip!

Thanks!!

We ended the day at Duck Donuts.

I love those! We always make a stop when we're in OBX!!

Watching "Who's line is it anyway?"

Love that show!

Cuddle chicken joined me for quite awhile, and diva chicken took over her own chair. Dog sound asleep in middle of yard. Spider spinning a web in corner around my plantar of geraniums

Sounds fun!! You must have a calming influence to have all of them so content around you!!

Does @pattyw have her rum yet?

No- I went for another cocktail last night!

Patty is waking up from sleeping in a far away bed. Have an awesome time, and beautiful weather.

Thanks! Yep- sunny and HOT!! Flesh burning even!! A little rain but we were inside and missed it!

we have a week till we hit the road for MCO!

Yay!!!

Mac- no rum last night but a few nice cocktails!!

 

[pattyw]

So we made it to Orlando last night! Landed in Tampa and drove over to HRH! Used our free night!! We went to the Velvet Lounge for a few drinks and appetizers. Got up early and went to EPCOT. We went to visit Troy at work. We just got back to the hotel. WE moved rooms -up to the club level and I splurged for a King suite.

I have some food porn and pictures I'll post later. Resting a little before appetizers and drinks! I'm trying to decide between champagne and red wine- maybe both!!

So glad to hear you made it safely and are enjoying food and drink.

Go for broke and do both the champagne and wine. We only go round this life once. Enjoy it and shake every good moment out of it for sure.

Enjoy the sun

Strip down to your skivvies, keep the fridge closed and read a good book

Ha, as i posed earlier...DS on a ridge too & look what happened to him. Power company still has to come out and check the connections to everyone’s mast as most have flickering lights. Said it’s low priority could take weeks.

Never knew enough rain could turn into waterfall/rapid-like flooding up on a mountain, far from water? Think it might just be a phenom on a very small ridge???

we are on a ridge too, very common here, but it’s a good 1/2 mile wide before it goes up again to large plateau before morphing into the higher peaks. We had zero water in basement & we live only a few miles apart, go figure?

Mac hope you are not without power to long.

Keisha I love the way you can put a smiling spin on things

I hope your son is not without power to long. Your son is lucky to have a mom who helps out in times of trouble for sure.

Love your pic of Jack.........a man after by Halloween heart

 

[Robo56]

I need tea, and a bullhorn.

Lynne use this to get the kiddos up in the morning.

 

[Robo56]

Schumi hope your enjoying your time in Scotland

 

[macraven]

I, ahem, have one of those blasters
(Thanks homie) and it is an excellent way to gain someone’s attention

 

[macraven]

Keisha, even though our power is laid underground, it is hooked up to the lines overhead down the road

So if that power goes out, ours does too
We’ve only had the power off 4.5 hours so far
House is still cooler than the outside
Don’t want to open windows tonight as it is worse outside than inside

First outage for us in 2.5 years here

No backups
No basement

 

[Monykalyn]

The chicken ate the itsy bitsy spider??

Well it was a giant spider, bigger than a quarter...

A nice shot of Jack? Sure, why not...

That is terrifying! I'm gonna scream all night at HHN aren't I?

I'm trying to decide between champagne and red wine- maybe both!!

I can't drink anything else if I drink champagne-I get violently ill if I do. Just champagne-fine. Never mix.

Drank coffee on the deck this am. Cuddle chicken spent most of the morning with me. Then went off to lay her egg. And I went to the garden-anyone need giant 4# zucchini? or Jalapenos? I have 2 (2!) zucchini plants and boy are they producing, and on jalapeno plant yet I have a ton from them as well.
So nice out today! Had to come in to clean, now taking a break between laundry loads...

 

[Monykalyn]

Ugh hope the electricity comes back soon Mac & Keisha!

 

[Lynne G]

Eek, no power Mac. I hope you get it back soon, if not already.

Eek, Keisha spawn flooded. I saw news on your part of the world, and wow. Death from it too. We also had a death from our flooding the other day. Some guy got sucked into sewer drain. Oops. I hope son’s house dries out and installs a French drain and or sub pump and gets his power back pronto. Our pump worked fine until the power went out. After that episode, we put a battery hook up to it, so if power goes out again, battery can be hooked up. Luckily, battery has not been needed.

Other little zoo visit this morning. Started to rain more heavily, so headed to the mall. Bought a cute pair of sandals, and of course, little one got a cutier pair of slides, and a pretty pair of heals.

Now, it is what for dinner game. Thinking of pizza. Seems like a good night for it.

Patty, good to hear from ya, and enjoy, you indeed, only live once. Relaxing is part of any vacation.

MonyK, we would gladly take the peppers. DH loves hot food, and we would dry some too.

Haha, Robo, I should get that fart blaster. Of course Mac owns one. LOL

 

[tink1957]

Mac...hope your power is back on soon. I live in the sticks here and it usually takes longer to get fixed since the more populated areas take priority. I always call or use the app to report it as soon as it happens.

I need that blaster in my life...is it sold in the parks?

Watching the Braves game and hope they can come back and win since they're down by 3 runs but the bases are loaded with only one out...maybe the Orioles will strike out and not hit a second grand slam.

 

[tink1957]

Yikes! Now they lead by 6...think I'll watch the ER marathon instead.

Hi monyk and Lynne... you snuck in while I was slowly typing on my phone.

 

[macraven]

Tink I watched the game last night
With the rain delay, it started late

Hate to sit up after midnight to see them lose

I’ve only got less than 50% power on the phone now but will run the car to recharge if our outage goes longer

We are in a rural area
Horse farms across and down the road from us

We are low priority on the list for the power company

 

[Robo56]

I need that blaster in my life...is it sold in the parks?

Yep, They sell them in the parks. I think you can still get them at Walmart and Target.

 

[Robo56]

That is terrifying! I'm gonna scream all night at HHN aren't I?

LOL.......the scare actors love the screamers..........they know they are doing a good job if you scream

Will this be your first year at HHN?
