Really sucks to take PTO to sit here with no power.

I guess I got it good on that part. Work will bring me a portable 35kw if need be. No PTO taking for me either. Had to do it several years ago after a hurricane. They took care of all of us.

The initial rolling blackout was announced to be 15-45 min each round....but that literally became hours at a time within 24hrs Texans were warned. Now we are told to conserve water (don't do long hot shower, dishes, laundry) and natural gas....wtf like we going back to stone age...

On the flip side, I got to demonstrate to the wife driving on snow vs dry, then snow vs ice, in the family sedan. She's never driven on snow or ice before. The family car still has RE11's on (didn't switch to all-season this winter) the most mundane driving became the utmost difficult task.

Now the wifey knows.

That's why I have a small generator, 55 gal drum of gas, and 2 kerosene heaters with 25 gals of kerosene. Plus 6 oil lamps and big candles. :tup:

JLarson 02-18-2021 06:10 AM

Morning all! To our friends in Texas, hope you're staying warm as possible. Don't really know what else to say, that's got to be a painful situation.

Snowing here again, and it was coming down pretty good up until a few minutes ago, but seems to be leveling off a bit.

Leingod 02-18-2021 06:50 AM

You might want to tone that Down, and yes I saw your next post as well.:shakes head:

Rusty 02-18-2021 08:05 AM

:hello:

I'z up. :yawn:

Got about 3~4 inches. Temp is 24F, high of 31F.

On the news. See that the supply chain broke in Texas. No food or water in some places. :shakes head:

Well Happy Friday's Eve! Tomorrow is payday so I have that to celebrate until it funnels through my hands to someone else's. Blessed still be working as many others a less fortunate. My brother has not worked in one year. No much need for sound engineers since there are no conventions or concerts happening. Looks like boost by gear is a real thing with EcuTek according to Seb. I can't wait to see how it works. Sending warm thoughts to our brothers and sisters in Texas. Please stay warm and safe! The rest you knuckle heads stay safe and sanitary.

Yup, wish he was closer. I will have to use other means to get the boost by gear.

Thunderstorms this morning and rain. No snow for me. I just need to grow some web feet to deal with all of the rain.

I don’t understand how people run out of food and water in a state that has hurricanes and tornadoes on the regular.

I always keep the freezer stocked and at minimum a couple cases of water. I also fill a tub at the first sign there might be trouble.

Rusty 02-18-2021 08:49 AM

Welcome to the new ice age. 73% of the country is snow covered. :icon14:

I can go 3 months before I start shooting stuff other than 2 legged critters.

Just spent 2 hrs shoveling snow. Suppose to get more snow tonight. :icon14:

Got a trailer of salt in. Boy.....did the price go up on it. :icon14:
