  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

The Ohio Hurricane...???

OK< my power finally came back on around 11 am this morning. Yahoo!!!! it's a happy day.

But, after all this commotion, the wife and i decided to buy a few things...a real generator for the house that will power everything; stove, fridges, freezer, lights, tv and so on. Our hot water is gas forced. our heat is a gas forced hot water/radiator heat, so that helps out a lot. As long as the gas lines don't get destroyed we'll be ok.

Also gonna buy a handgun. and not some little .22 pistol, but a .45. What is it they say...a .38 will slow em down, a 9mm knocks em down, but a .45 lays em down and they ain't gettin' back up.

Eventually i forsee us being without power for a long period of time, and when we are, people is gonna be gettin nuts. i want a gun. But taht's a whole nother story.
We had a beautiful system in Michigan that ran off natural gas. If the power went out it kicked on and ran pretty much everything. Guardian was the name. Best $6K I ever spent.
