    Morning
    18,000 people still without power
    Down from. Over 200,000.

    I’m telling ya.
    Either the news is talking to transplants or Mainers are turning into pussies.
    Old Mainer back then.
    Yeup had a bit of a blow here. Had to put a tarp on part of the shed. Haven’t had power for a week. I’m going out later with the shotgun and shoot me some dinner. Kids should be back from school soon. It’s only a 4 mile walk.

    New Mainer.
    (Crying) I haven’t had power for 8 hours. A big tree (branch) went through my roof.
    I don’t know if I can ever live here now.

    Yea I know..
    I was actually a little bored because I have gotten most of my spring switchover done.
    Being efficient has its drawbacks sometimes.
    So we read books and played games.

    Good morning all. :pccoffee:

    Local news this morning showed a cargo ship hit one of the uprights for the Francis Scott Key bridge south of Baltimore, MD. Bridge collapsed, 7 vehicles known to have gone n the water. Search and rescue teams on site. I can't imagine just being on your way home from work or travel and suddenly the bridge you're crossing just disappears beneath you.

    Welcome to the thread.

    The story keeps getting worse. There will be a lot of finger pointing from insurance companies. I am pretty sure the State of Maryland will be responsible. There goes my short lived Senior deduction on my State tax filing.

    Good morning. News is a bitter pill to swallow this morning. Off to the gym then chair yoga. Need to continue weeding too.

    Granddaughter has been wanting to know what Spam is, so I picked some up to make what I grew up with.

    If you watch the video you can see the lights going on and off a couple times. Their are reports of on-board power and propulsion outage in the news also.
