I awoke to find the room was silent, the power was off, I realized I
was going to have to go to the bathroom soon, also that I left the
porta-potti at camp. Silently I left the bedroom where the Lovely
Rita lay sleeping unaware of the impending disaster. I got dressed
and made my way through the storm to the shop where I had an old
toilet seat, made my way back and built a 7.9 gallon primary
extrication unit. After testing the unit I went back to bed.</font></font>03:15 I lay in bed tossing and turning unable to sleep, no electricity, surely the end is near, I get up and the livingroom is down to 68 degrees, I make a fire in the woodstove and fall asleep in my easy chair.</font></font>06:00 I awake in 85 degree warmth, I feel as though I can survive this horrid time.</font></font>
06:45 The electricity comes back on!! Soon after the phone works and I can get to the internet!! Life is good!!
07:30 The power goes off again, suddenly I feel as though this is a game of cat and mouse...and I'm the mouse!! My mind races, how long can I survive?
08:30 I cook some eggs and a muffin on the woodstove, is this how the pioneers lived?? I make a resolution to SURVIVE!! No matter how unrelenting the odds!!
10:00 As the Lovely Rita shovels the snow on the deck the power is restored once again, hope springs eternal!!
11:30 power is off again, the Lovely Rita and I sit in our easy chars and drift off to sleep, forgetting about the calamity that surrounds us, as long as we have each other and a full wine cellar we will pull through!!
13:00 power is on again, the Lovely Rita shovels out my truck, I go to town and get a pint of Ben and Jerry's Cherries Garcia.... I will survive...
16:15 The lovely Rita is tired from a long day of shoveling, it's time for me to put the chicken on the rotissery, together hand in hand WE WILL SURVIVE!! Happy hour starts at 17:30 tonight 1/2 hour early, you are all invited!!
