All winter (and all prior winters) the plow guy pushes the snow away from my driveway and onto the dead end. Today....buried the end of my driveway.

Looks like he won't be getting that post winter case of beer after all.

 

Hey @kidsmoke

This is stuff up around your daughters area

 

That's not how you put extra weight on the truck for plowing.

 

Well.....it is Buxton.

 

Oh Shit!

Ok, spill. what aren't you telling me?

 

Well it's often the brunt of typical rural town jokes. Probably not warranted.

Like those blue tarps are often called "Buxton Siding or Roofing".

And when someone ask a question where the obvious answer is yes...some may respond with "are there whores in Buxton?"

Stuff like that.

 

So you’re finally going to snow blow like every other Tom, Dick, and Harry.
Suck it up, buttercup.

 

Already shoveled it right back into the street out of spite.

 

Power is still on. Fortunate. 340K CMP customers w/out power.

 

I've still got power...the pole just up the road that cracked has my neighbors out. Looks like a crowd for dinner at Casa de SpruceMica later

 

3 poles down in Buxton. Going to be a while before they are up and running.

 

hey, so, uh, Mike. Buddy. Got any generators, like, uh, Layin around?

 

I did.
Had 3
Now just one.
AND IT’S MINE… ALL MINE…

 

Capitalism at it's finest.

Hearing from others up there. Freind in So Berwick just called. She's planning for 2-3 days with no juice. This is a live action shot of current wind patterns. it is spinning like a top.

 

I would suggest at some point they make an effort to get a system installed.
I have run bare bones with extension cords also. As long as they have heat, fridge, a few lights
they can get by. I ran a 2,800 watt gen for 3 days many years ago for furnace, fridge, and a light bulb or two. Everyone around us evacuated. We stayed and just chilled..

 

Yup. @kidsmoke Portable gen and extension cords (cheapest route), a PB30 or 50 and interlock with gen (less cheap route) or an on demand (not so cheaper route).

 

Yeup @kidsmoke.
@FlyingWolfe gave me hi praises for my gen install…
I’d listen to her…




Tee hee…

 

Had it fueled up and ready to go (with an extra 5 gallons). Hasn't been needed so far. I'm still on the cheap plan. Generator cord into the garage (under the closed garage door), then extension cords (12G) to the boiler (I have a cut-off switch & plug) and 2 fridges. City water, so no issues with that.

 

I’m waiting…
